    Theory vs. Labs: Which One Do You Never Skip?

    When I recertify for something I've certified in previously, I just read the exam objectives and brush up on the 10%-15% that has changed. I took the current Net+ and Sec+ without even looking at the exam objectives. I see ads like that online all the time. Take our training and go from zero...

    Where to Find Security+ 701 Instructor Guide PDF and PPTs?

    It means that CompTIA will lose all training business to others and will only provide certifications. CompTIA's official curriculum has been sliding for a couple of decades, but the current format may kill it off entirely.

    Theory vs. Labs: Which One Do You Never Skip?

    Certifications were originally intended to validate a candidate's experience and knowledge. They weren't intended to be checklist items for newbies trying to impress recruiters. Over time, all of the certifications have been devalued. I see people pass the CISSP with less than the mandatory...

    Where to Find Security+ 701 Instructor Guide PDF and PPTs?

    I just want to go back to downloadable instructor PDFs and slide decks. Online only access to the training materials is a pain.

    Theory vs. Labs: Which One Do You Never Skip?

    I cover the theory in class, sprinkling in a few demonstrations when possible. I assign the labs as homework.

    CompTIA Linux+ V8 - Study Guides and Exam Resources

    It's silly that the government doesn't recognize LPI, but they recognize EC-Council, which is worthless.

    CompTIA A+ 1201 and 1202 passed

    It just shows that you're A+ certified. CompTIA does not have any distinction that shows someone is a trainer.

    Passed Network+ today!

    When I took the exam earlier this year, it did not have subnetting questions on it. I was quite surprised.

    Need some assistance and Help with A+ Pace
