    I noticed that getting the first certificate (Proof of Participation) of the TTT for SecurityX is states that my participation is good for 2 CEU credit per hour toward the renewal of your "Cloud+. Does this mean siting the SecurityX exam will renew Cloud+? On the website Renew existing certifications its not listed but I wondered if addition to the name change if that has change.

    It does not. You have to either recertify Cloud+ by taking an upgraded exam, or through the CEU process. I did that this year when I took courses for MSFT Azure. Taking both MS900 and SC900 gave me more than enough CEU credit to update my Cloud+. /r

    little bit confused here also
     
    Okay, let's see if I can clear this up...

    1) Sitting the SecurityX exam does not automatically renew the Cloud+ credential. The only exam that you can take that will automatically renew the Cloud+ is the Cloud+.
    2) Sitting the SecurityX exam will provide 25 CEUs towards renewal of Cloud+ if you are using the CE route to renew.
    3) Sitting other Cloud+ content-related exams, such as the Microsoft Azure or Amazon Web Services series of exams will also provide CEUs towards renewing the Cloud+.
    4) Attending the TTT for SecurityX will award 2 CEUs credit towards the renewal of Cloud+.

    Thank you for clarifications
     
    CompTIA Certmast CE (will this get a new name as well?) is only available for A+, NET+, and SEC+. Have any discussions taken place to broaden the CE program to include additional certifications?
    I haven't heard of anything like that - personally, I'd rather go that route - that way, I can go through the refresher training for changes and have the cert at the end. I suspect it's mostly predicated on the Security+ and how the US DoD leans on it very heavily for security certification (DoD 8570/8140).
     
    CompTIA needs to update the CEU information. The Data pathway doesn't allow one cert to renew another, although DataSys+ is good for 13 hours towards A+ CEUs. Cloud+ renews Net+, which renews A+, but CloudNetX doesn't renew anything or give partial credit.

    The three Xpert level certs should renew everything in their pathway. SecurityX does, but DataX and CloudNetX don't.
