I just received my certificate for passing Tech+. Thanks, CIN and TTT, for the voucher!

Sadly, there was only a certificate and no plastic card to add to my stack. Is this unique to Tech+, or are we losing the cards going forward? I like my collection of red and white CompTIA IDs and want to keep growing the stack!

I honestly can't remember if I received a card for mine or not. After 22 years of earning CompTIA certs, I got rid of all my cards and shoved all my certs in a folder.

Some thing bugs now about the CERTs now when you write the new exam I wrote 220=1201 220 1202 all these guys have done is increase the date I feel it should have a model number on certificate. It is hard to prove to clients you are training their guys on the latest Certs.
peter Hanwith-Horden I dont have the vouchers had buy due training for my clients

It's easy to prove which version you've passed. It's in your online CompTIA transcript, which you can share with clients or employers.

Although, I still find it completely ridiculous that clients and employers ask which version I've passed for various CompTIA exams. I've passed six different Security+ exams, five different Network+ exams, four different A+ exams, three different CySA+ exams, two different Cloud+ exams, two different Project+ exams, and two different Tech+ exams. And most of my certs are active through 2028 and beyond because of CEUs.

Funny, they never ask me if I have the current CISSP, CISM, CAPM, or CCSK, even though every one of them undergoes version changes.

I'm done. From now on, I'm staying current with CEUs. I'm done retaking exams just because the version changed. I've been taking CompTIA exams for 22 years and they change maybe 10%-15% from one version to the next. Most of the topics in the current versions of A+/Net+/Sec+ were covered on versions that I took 20 years ago. I don't even study when I retest. I just get a voucher and go take the exam and pass it. BECAUSE I'VE ALREADY PASSED A PREVIOUS VERSION. It's not like I suddenly forgot everything since the last one.

Does anyone have a legitimate reason why we should continue to retake CompTIA exams over and over, if we're already staying current with CEUs. Clients and employers don't ask for the latest version of any ISC2, ISACA, OffSec, EC-Council, or GIAC exams, but they insist on doing it for CompTIA exams.

Why?

One thing is constant, and that is change. Some folks call it progress, while others do not. But, alas, I have heard that the certification cards are gone for good.

So, on another note, hold onto the ones you have, as someday, they may turn into quite a collector's item! I always enjoy meeting up with folks at conferences who can pull out their certification card from their wallet or purse, showing they have had the certification for a long time! The certification cards will be missed.

Oh no!! Yeah, that's sad. In context, I realize a lot of the other changes at CompTIA have been much more disruptive to some people's lives (e.g., losing jobs). No comparison. But still. I always looked forward to getting my next card.

I don't carry them--way too many, lol. But I do like adding to my stack on my shelf! It's my collection. 😁

Well, if you have a tall enough stack, glue them together, drill a whole through the center, thread a power cable through them and make a lamp.

I considered doing this with a stack of old America Online trial CD's I had back in the day...
