Well, if they need to hear from the community at large, I'm pretty sure folks like me and others can raise the volume up to a level that would make R. Lee Ermey, Sam Kinison, or just about every metal band in existence proud.

Wish I could be there. Maybe one of these years, I'll get out for a DefCon. Since we're talking conferences tho... any talk about getting Partner Summit back on the board? /r

It usually takes about 6-8 weeks for CompTIA to process the attendees lists and validate them, before putting the order in. /r

Well, I'm glad it's working for you. As for me, I won't trust it for myself. My biggest problem is the stories that I've heard about the lack of grace that happens. I'm sure it's not that way in every situation, but I won't roll the dice like that when it comes to a cert. And again, it's more...

This is the correct channel. If you connect with your Business Development Manager at CompTIA, if you're in the system as a partner, you can order all that stuff up for yourself. Of course, make sure to read the appropriate EULAs before playing. CIN's purpose is for instructors to connect...

Reminds me of the time that someone out there was stealing all the Train the Trainer videos and posting them on his YouTube channel...fun times.

I've said this before and I know others will disagree, but I don't believe OnVUE is worth the aggravation if you have a test center in close proximity. I know, for some, it's an 'only' option to allow for folks to test, but all the horror stories I've heard over the years, for me, it's not worth...

Yeah, I don't post on the CompTIA reddit anymore, either. Like Greg mentioned, it's basically a sub full of whiny entitled cheaters, dumpers, and thieves. Even with aggressive moderating, they'll still squirm out of the woodwork. Not worth the time anymore.

Congrats on your win! Well done!

Right...but...the question I was wondering had to do with the rules for who got to be a Pearson VUE TA. Pearson is saying no to anyone who holds a current CompTIA cert. CompTIA's information says there is a six month wait period before or after taking an exam. Pearson's change came about in...

We can always go off the rails and start doing Azure stuff... (that's what I'm doing anyway...LOL) /r

So, we have PV Test Centers within our schools. The rules at https://www.comptia.org/en-us/resources/test-policies/proctor-policies/ stipulate the six-month rule that prevents anyone who has taken an exam in the last six months must wait before he/she can be a PV Test Administrator, and six...

Congrats on the win!

You're probably right about that. It's like the faceless mob that's Reddit. There's no fighting that. All you can do is ignore it/them - which is what I do with LinkedIn as a platform, since I've gotten completely fed up with all social media. It's all garbage to me - a colossal waste of...

I dunno - if it were me getting them, I'd probably take a screen capture of the solicitation and post it on LinkedIn for all to see. Maybe hash it #WallofShame or something. But then, I don't really do much on LinkedIn (nor have any inclination to use the platform, really - kinda hating it...
