    CompTIA A+ 1201 and 1202 passed

    People take them on separate days? I have four different versions of the A+, and each time I took both exams on the same day.

    Linux+ Exam Vouchers

    @Stephen Schneiter, I have not yet received mine.

    Has the Official CompTIA Instructor/Student Guide eBook been replaced by CompTIA CertMaster Study?

    That's too bad because most students don't like CertMaster at all. CompTIA is pushing people towards other providers.

    Passed the CNX-001 CompTIA CloudNetX Certification Exam!

    How many questions did you have? When I took the beta last year, it had 119 or something ridiculous like that.

    Same problem here.

    Passed SecurityX CAS-005

    SecurityX renews PenTest+, CySA+, Security+, Network+, and A+. It DOES NOT renew Cloud+, Data+, or any other CompTIA certifications. https://www.comptia.org/en-us/resources/ce/choose/renew-with-a-single-activity/earn-a-higher-level-comptia-certification/

    PASSED my CompTIA DataX exam!

    I contacted the support center, and they provided me with a new voucher that doesn't expire until November 25, 2026. They were INCREDIBLY helpful.

    Linux+ XK0-006 vs. 005...?

    It never made any sense to me why some clients insisted that I constantly retest every time a new version of a CompTIA exam was released. I have six Security+ versions, five Network+ versions, four A+ versions, three CySA+ versions, two Cloud+ versions, two CASP+/SecurityX versions, two...

    Linux+ XK0-006 vs. 005...?

    I quit counting after the first 60. Microsoft, CompTIA, Axelos, PMI, ISC2, ISACA, CertNexus, ScrumStudy, Certiport, CSA, CIWCertified, and some others that I've forgotten. I no longer care about getting another piece of paper to shove in a folder and care more about learning something new and...

    PASSED my CompTIA DataX exam!

    I had DataX scheduled for today, the last day before the voucher expired. When I went to sign in, it seemed that I had registered for 7AM and not 7PM, so I was marked as a "No Show" for the exam.

    Students Keep Asking for Social Media Postings

    The most disturbing thing is that this is only making the talent pipeline worse. Systems will be run by LLMs with little to no human intervention. When something breaks, we're all screwed.

    What happened with the Tech Trainer options that were discussed in 2023?

    In the last few years, I haven't seen anything from CompTIA that appears to be a comprehensive strategy at all. If I were running things, I would focus on improving the brand of the current suite of certifications, not adding continuing ed courses that you can get anywhere for a fraction of...

    What happened with the Tech Trainer options that were discussed in 2023?

    It wasn't going to be a requirement. The CTT+ wasn't a requirement. They were training courses for new trainers to learn how to be a trainer.
