    Regarding latest pentest+ course

    Speak into that more - when you say 'properly balanced' and your thoughts on it, I'd ask for some details...?

    Hardware Labs

    Are you talking about the CompTIA Perform Network+? If so, perhaps you might start by providing some feedback, yourself...what have you heard?

    Nice. Today is something of a chaotic day, so I can't be there in person - or even in spirit...

    Do we have a Sub Forum For CloudNetX?

    I don't think there is a forum for CNX - and since the platform is in a transitional state, my guess is that we won't see one here. Not sure when the new platform is scheduled, but that's my guess. /r

    Why has CompTIA no Exam Question Feedback Button during Exam?

    I encountered a question on the DataSys+ a few weeks ago that had erroneous information as well. I looked for the feedback and didn't see one. Maybe that's only for beta exams now? /r

    Credential Value index

    I go back to my previous statement - "there are no silver bullets". There is no *one thing* that you can do that will write you a golden ticket to the chocolate factory. No cert, no degree, not a single one is your Ticket to Ride. It's always going to be an amalgam of certificates...

    Are Project+ and Server+ changing from "good for life" to CE certifications?

    I doubt we'll see a "ProjectX" - mostly because it would collide heavily with the PMI certs. People might assume it's on par with the PMP. I know Server+ has teetered on the edge of "stay or go". Basically, it's there to fill in that role for on-prem environments - maybe dipping its toes in...

    Is this just for live-stream or will it be available on the rewind?

    Credential Value index

    The pendulum always swings. Every few years, we see articles like these that poo-poo on this certification or that credential. Whether it's someone in the education sector that is trying to accentuate the importance of secondary education (as a means to get more students to take out phat...

    CIAT is hiring IT Certification Bootcamp Instructors

    Cool! You're just down the road from me - well, maybe about 250 miles, but still... Good feedback. I think we've all gotten stymied during the employment hustle. Throwing countless resumes out into the black with no reply or an acknowledgement from a real person is so very frustrating. On...

    Cautionary tale for IT professionals

    I have a new shirt for you, Jason... (another reason why I don't do apple products...btw...)

    Congrats on that!

    Knowing NIST

    I seem to remember a couple questions that had the NIST publications identified in the answers. Can't give you a lot of details, since it's been a little while and I've had my head down on so many other things as of late. However, knowing the relevant NIST certs, to me, is a good thing always.

    Are Project+ and Server+ changing from "good for life" to CE certifications?

    I never saw any e-mails on that either. But I would not be surprised by the move. I can see a CE requirement for Project+, as things tend to shift in the world of PM. Server+...well, perhaps not as pervasive unless we wanted to focus more on virtual server technology, rather than on-prem...

    CompTIA A+ 1201 and 1202 passed

    Good job - congrats on your win. /r
