    CEU's for other certifications earned

    You said it perfectly! You move where your professional journey naturally takes you, not towards a 1 2 3 4 5 6 scheme designed to cost you more money if you deviate from it, or more money because in order to get the cert you actually need you have to get another one that right now does not apply...

    CEU's for other certifications earned

    Yes, and like I said, it doesn't have to be a ton of CEU's, core certs 15 CEU's, specialization like Cloud, Linux, Server, CySA, Pentest 25 CEU's, they should start somewhere and then add Data+ and DataSys+ in the end we all need to manage data theses days, not only logs and scripts. We need to...

    CEU's for other certifications earned

    I certainly do, IT doesn't have a cut and dry path. You can start with Network+ and then move to Linux+ because your job requires it. Then you decide to move into a managerial area and get Project+ and end up with CASP+. Years go by and you decide to become a SOC analyst and Security+ and CySA+...

    CEU's for other certifications earned

    I don't know if anybody has ever thought of this. When we certify, CompTIA has certain paths and order of certifications that allows you to cover a whole set of certifications if you take an upper level exam. Like for example: you have A+, Network+ and Security+, you pass CySA+and all three...

    Just passed my Linux+

    Thank you all!!!!! My goal is to finish both the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure paths, and earn all the stackable certificacions. I'm one cert short, Cloud+. Thanks to Ana G Mendez University I was able to get the material for Cloud+ from Cert Master as well as the Test Out Hybryd Server Core...

    CASP+/SecurityX PBQ & Lab Practice Recommendations

    The TryHackMe SOC Levels 1 and 2 are great for CASP+. You use tools like Splunk, and work with Threat Hunting and Emulation, Incident Response, and Malware Analysis. On the search bar look for "governance, risk, compliance" and you’ll find some solid rooms that tie directly into CASP+...

    Just passed my Linux+

    Wow! I just passed my Linux+ test. I don't know why but I spend more time preparing for this exam when compared with my Pentest+ and CySA+, I was kind of intimidated by the fact that the vast majority of these questions you were not able to do an educated guess, you needed to know the commands...

    Pentest+ delivery Firebrand training

    Yes I have, the labs are key to the course. I've taught Pentest+ to students who have very little real experience and zero professional experience. For that I try to move a bit faster through the theory so we can do the Cert Master Labs and delve into the Try Hack Me Pentest+ Path so they get...

    CompTIA AI add ons

    The main buzz is that it won't be a full exam like the CCNA Voice and CCNA Security.... It seems that it will be like the CE courses we have for A+, Network+ and Security+, but who knows

    CompTIA AI add ons

    Yes, I am eagerly awaiting on the method developed to add the AI to those three certifications. As soon as they are live I will buy the educational material to get them.

    Thank you Stephen, looking forward to add those to my knowledge base. I would love to read official CompTIA content on how to apply AI to the Pentest and CySA skillset

    CompTIA AI add ons

    I read this article yesterday: https://www.comptia.org/newsroom/comptia-announces-ai-product-roadmap-expansion-covering-six-domains Does anyone knows when the Security+ / AI, Pentest+ / AI and CySA+ / AI are coming out? Also, will it be a course, a mini exam, or a full exam in order to get...

    SecurityX

    Thank you! It was a really good experience. I used the Cert Master Material and Try Hack Me SOC levels 1 and 2. Still it was tough. I was so relieved when the screen showed me I had passed!

    SecurityX

    Got CASP+ last month, I'm looking for the new Security X Cert Master Course so I can use it not only to study for the test, but to get CEU's for CASP+

    Proposal for Integrating CompTIA Training into State University Curriculum

    I work at a university where we created a cybersecurity analyst one year certificate. All of our classes use 100% Cert Master / Test Out content and are 8 weeks long. We have courses that cover Network+, Security+, Linux+ and CySA+. Everything is integrated though Canvas via API's that connect...

    You are absolutely right, I didn't account for the "actual experience" factor....

    ONLY two certifications

    If you're looking at which CompTIA certs would be the most valuable for someone transitioning from the military into IT, it really depends on what area you’re aiming to move into. If you're leaning towards cybersecurity, then Security+ and CySA+ would be a solid combo. Security+ gives you the...

    AI’s Different Results Thwart Plagiarism Checkers

    I use Cert Master and Test Out material even for in person classes. It's good to make them run labs and quizzes with the instructor present. You walk around the room to make sure they are not using special aids and no phones are allowed on their desks, they go on their back packs.
