    Inquiry About Becoming a CompTIA Instructor

    I used to work for a subsidiary of Logical Operations/CertNexus and was one of the first people with the MCCT. Literally, you could study for a single day and pass it the same day. It's an online, unproctored exam that you can take over and over until you pass.

    Exam scoring

    I want to settle this once and for all. How does CompTIA score their exams? Every exam has a handful of PBQs, while the overwhelming majority of questions are multiple-choice. Most exams have a maximum of 90 questions, but could have fewer. All exams are on a 100-900 scale, with the...

    Part-Time Remote Assitant Cybersecurity Instructor – CompTIA A+, Network+, Security+

    I can't even begin to describe what a terrible idea it is to post your resume and CV with PII on a public message board. ESPECIALLY for a cybersecurity position.

    Why recertify?

    Some training companies practically give away the classes just to keep clients happy. And the ones who have to suffer for it are the trainers, who are actually doing all the work. I finally set weekly minimums of what I would accept for an on-site class and a virtual class. Depending upon...

    Compcert Courses -- Where's The Beef

    On your score report from the exam, it should list the topics where you missed one more more questions. I would start your studies there.

    Fulfillments... Are we no longer fulfilled?

    CompTIA was purchased by Thoma Bravo, a private equity firm. They have a rather significant portfolio. https://www.thomabravo.com/portfolio

    Hybrid Server Pro CoreI Trainer Needed

    They aren't certifications. They are "COMPCERTS," which can be achieved by answering the online questions that go along with the training.

    Why recertify?

    Meh, I'm just old. If you do anything long enough, it should get easier. But I still have occasional pangs of imposter syndrome to this day. I've always been a voracious learner. Even in college, high school, and before that. I get bored if I'm not learning something new. My company just...

    Why recertify?

    I've been a technical trainer for 25+ years. I've taken more than 16 different cert exams from CompTIA and re-certified in many of them two, three, four, five, or even six times. I've even re-certified in two CompTIA certs that were "good for life" certifications. Mostly, this was due to...

    If You Had to Restart Security+, What Would You Do Differently?

    I'm a big documentation guy. I can read through a 500-page book and go over the material again and again until I understand it and commit it to LONG-TERM MEMORY. When I study for a certification exam, passing the exam is not my ultimate goal. It's learning the material the exam covers because...
