    Vouchers

    I have long believed that CompTIA should add one more requirement for the free vouchers. People should actually contribute to the CIN community. Not just sign up, never post, and then demand free vouchers.

    Certification Recommendation

    I agree that Tech+ is a realistic cert. A+ is two exams and has far too many exam objectives to be covered in that timeframe.

    Passed- CompTIA SecurityX Certification Exam(CAS-005)

    Those certs happened because I've been doing this for a very long time. Now I'm focused on branching out to areas outside my comfort zone.

    Passed- CompTIA SecurityX Certification Exam(CAS-005)

    I passed the CAS-004 CASP+ in April 2022 and the CAS-005 SecurityX in July 2025. I didn't study for either one, and during the exam, I skipped the virtual machine question both times. I already had six different versions of the Sec+, three different versions of the CySA+, and PenTest+. If...

    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?
