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

    That's probably why I'm taking so much time to study for the version 8 exam. The last thing I want to do is fail a beginner exam after years of working on Linux since 2007.

    Are There New Requirements for CompTIA Trainers?

    Certification exam...NO. However, I would sit for the course and take the course. I think that would be very valuable.

    Students Keep Asking for Social Media Postings

    OMG...this is a constant headache I deal with. They think I'm supposed to be Jim Rohn or Les Brown the motivational speaker every class. It's partly why I focus on online instruction via video now. It's soul draining at times with some students. I actually had a few students ask why videos can't...

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

    I personally think it would have been a ridiculous requirement. I have taught at Universities as adjunct and at Community colleges and I do not think you need a CompTIA training certification to instruct students if you have graduate or undergrad degree's, CompTIA certifications and teaching...

    Compcert Courses -- Where's The Beef

    The DOD 8140 really keeps some of these crappy certifications alive. Their ridiculous requirements.

    Compcert Courses -- Where's The Beef

    LFCS and RHCSA has also been a golden ticket for me as well. Our team actually finally started excepting Linux+ (BUT...only version 8). We have very low respect for multiple choice only exams. Those hires tended and has proven to be the most difficult to onboard and train up over hands-on learners.

    Certification Recommendation

    I don't know anything about Tech+, but as a supervisor. I wouldn't entertain it at all. I would take the A+ or TCM Security PHDA (https://certifications.tcm-sec.com/phda/) before I would pay any attention to Tech+. Especially, since they have some technical immersion also. For me and many other...

    Students Keep Asking for Social Media Postings

    Over the last 8 months, I have found that direct instruction is the only thing that has proven effective, but I'm having such a challenge getting students to just FINISH their course. Their always so excited in the beginning. They pay for a monthly on-demand instruction, but I login and check...

    Ahead of the Curve: CompTIA’s 2026 Product Roadmap & Innovations

    I really hope their focusing more on hands-on labs and actual scenario's versus yet another multiple choice exam.

    Compcert Courses -- Where's The Beef

    Thus my years long battle to prove to companies that multiple choice is crap and to do labs and hands-on instead. Red Hat had this right from day 1.
