• CIN will be sunsetting the official CIN app! The app will be turned off on Saturday, August 1st. Thank you to everyone who used the app to post updates. It just was not adopted as much as hoped. This is ONLY the mobile app. The CIN community is not being affected. :)

    Need Help related to CompTIA A+ Core 1 Simulation

    I'll take a piece of that bet for https://www.pcbuildingsim.com/ My memory is fuzzy but I might have dropped a link for PC Building Simulator in a TTT chat. I know I have in other forums.

    DataX is renamed DataAI

    Universities are integrating AI into courses as a component of curricula, even non-tech stuff. Making that connection for the certs is the next step. CompTIA has the SecAI, I'm guessing they'll get something like a NetworkAI & CloudAI which AICerts already have.

    How can I get a free voucher or a discounted voucher for the Security+ examination ?

    BCC is a college within the City University of New York. CUNY is an Academic Partner. Contact your CompTIA rep with your .edu email account so you can access the store with an academic discount.

    Tools and learning platform suggestions.

    Ascend is running a $9 sale ending today so I signed up to check out the A+ material. Their labs were Ucertify's labs so you might want to compare what you are getting from Ascend vs what you could get directly from Ucertify. I won't continue with Ascend at the $59 monthly price.

    Credential Value index

    The Wall Street Journal recently posted an article, based on research from the Burning Glass Institute, questioning the value of certs. The WSJ title was "Skill Certificates Rarely Pay Off." Seems they did not clearly distinguish certificates from certifications. This tool shows some...
