    Next CompTIA A+ TTT series and subsequent voucher(s)?

    Not for nothing, but the current A+ courses and exams (220-1201 & 220-1202) are less than a year old. I wouldn't hold my breath if I were you...

    CIN Sneak Peek: CySA+ V4

    I am registered and excited! I think I passed the CySA+ v2 with three days to spare before it was retired. Now I'm all in!

    Passed Linux+ XK0-006

    You beat me by a mile! However I think there is something to be said for someone who once had trouble understanding octal permissions scoring 777 on this one! ;)

    New link to the CompTIA IT Certifications Roadmap

    I have to ask... based on the link NOT being at *.comptia.org, is this the official page? I am happy with it, but I would be happier knowing that it was (or was not). Thanks!

    A+ Practice Exam 1201

    Let me start by saying that I think this is an absolutely terrible question. With that said, the contacts and calendars would only sync through Microsoft Outlook, and not through just any old 'corporate communication software.'

    Pacing Course Excel Doc for Net+, Sec+?

    Woohoo! That is great news. Thanks for letting us know :)

    Pacing Course Excel Doc for Net+, Sec+?

    I know what you mean. A few months ago I had a group from the military learning SecurityX and I was told they expected a 100% pass rate. I told the coordinator at the end of the first day that I would gladly point out which students would (or should) pass the exam, and the 50% who did not have...

    Pacing Course Excel Doc for Net+, Sec+?

    Here is hoping and praying to whoever you pray to that you don't die over Net+/Sec+ :) Please let us know if your rep does provide :)

    Pacing Course Excel Doc for Net+, Sec+?

    I really do empathize; I understand your frustrations, and while I know the documents are available (I just checked Security+), I also know that we as instructors are not allowed to share CompTIA's intellectual property with others. With that said, if you were to look for a CompTIA support email...

    Pacing Course Excel Doc for Net+, Sec+?

    Those documents are available when you purchase (or the learning org purchases for you) the Instructor material. Without that it would be a violation for anyone to share it with you. As an aside, I used to be afraid to ask the training orgs that hired me for the Instructor Material. Coming from...

    I did it!

    While I spend most of my time teaching cybersecurity, most people know me as a Microsoft guy. I was a Microsoft MVP, a Technology Evangelist with Microsoft Canada, and a Fast Track Engineer with Microsoft (both as a contractor). I have probably delivered a thousand lectures on Microsoft...

    Hi Katie! I would be delighted. What do you need from me? :)

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

    I completely agree! I have been asked to take the newest version of an exam once, but when I told the training provider (who is known for not paying very well) that my certs were current, and I would only take the new exam if they provided me a voucher, they demurred. With that said, you have...
