    Security+ CEU's

    1. The CEU fee is $150 to renew for three years. I have no idea why CompTIA decided to sell it in $50 1-year increments. 2. The CertMaster program only applies if it covers the objectives for the NEXT VERSION of the cert. You CANNOT use CertMaster if it is the same version as your current...

    It is a different contractor world

    Have you reached out to any training brokers like TTA (the Training Associates), Alliance Micro, the Judge Group, or any others? I've been a contract instructor, off and on, since 2007. You need to network as much as you can, with training brokers, training centers, etc. Also, diversify your...

    Passed SecAI (CY0-001) today.

    I use the exam objectives document more than the actual study materials.

    Point of clarification for those of using TTT certification vouchers

    The vouchers have always been that way. The expiration date is based on the date your exam is scheduled, not the day you do the actual scheduling. I usually schedule an exam date as soon as I get the voucher, typically a month after receiving it.

    SecAI+ official study guide

    If you are a CompTIA instructor, speak with your channel partner about gaining access. And as far as I know, CompTIA has stopped providing PDFs in favor of online-only content.

    Server+ and Project+ going to the CE model

    I got them both before the switch so I'm good for life. I can see Project+ going the CE route because it has changed a lot over the years. Honestly, I'm surprised that CompTIA hasn't retired Sever+. It's really got a niche market, since so many things have moved to the cloud.

    Passed DA0-002: CompTIA Data+ Certification Exam

    I didn't prepare for it at all. I didn't read the exam objectives. I just went in blank and took it. Granted, I already had the previous version of Data+, so this was just recertifying. Plus, I have decades of data experience.

    Took the DataSys+ beta

    I'm scheduled to take it next month, so I'm looking forward to seeing the changes from the current version.
