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

    I've now passed 77 exams, but please remember that until a few years ago I was nearly exclusively a Microsoft guy. Yes, I played with Linux 25 years ago, and I use Kali and Parrot for cybersecurity stuff... but I never managed the disks or or users or containers or users (I mean managing users...

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

    For the record: You are right, I brushed up on Docker and stuff. I did get one AI question. I had NO fun with the exam, was 100% convinced when I pressed END that I had failed. How I actually passed (and by a decent margin) I will never know! :) But alas, I have to teach the course this week, so...

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

    Fellow trainers, we all have our strengths and weaknesses. While I have used Linux for many years, I have never been overly proficient. I am taking the exam tomorrow, and I want to ask... how different will this exam be from the previous version? Is there anything I should be worried about? I...

    AI Essentials by CompTIA

    I actually said that I taught AI-900, not the AI Essentials. I used the official Microsoft curriculum.

    Courseware Question

    Hey folks. I was asked this morning (by a company that has engaged me to teach dozens of CompTIA courses) to share the slide deck for a course. It is a very well-known company, and I know they have a strong relationship with CompTIA. They do not use third-party courseware, nor do they use...

    CompTIA AutoOps+

    Well I live in a rented condo in the Greater Toronto Hamilton Area so I don't have a lawn... but when I sit on the balcony smoking cigars I do yell at any delivery driver who tries to park in the reserved parking spots, so I think that qualifies?

    Certification Recommendation

    I would think the A+ and MS-900 would be realistic... as long as (as you mentioned) they all have prior IT experience.

    Passed- CompTIA SecurityX Certification Exam(CAS-005)

    While I received the confirmation that I passed the SecX exam within minutes of completion, I have students who had to wait several days before they received their results. Congratulations to you for passing it... It was NOT an easy exam!
