    CompTIA Extends A+ Brand to Launch More Careers in Technology

    I echo Gregory's post. These are A+ certificate programs, offered via self-paced online through Coursera. Certification remains as Core 1 (1101) and Core 2 (1102). and I quote, "The first programs in the CompTIA A+_ series are scheduled for availability in October, delivered on Coursera, a...

    Teachers and Certification results

    I echo Rick's response. If the institution is an academic partner and a Pearson test centre as well, then it is possible that the institution would know how the student fared - whether pass/fail. Usually, we just ask the student. If they pass, yay! if not, then I ask them that we review what...

    CTT+ Zoom

    Yes, it is indeed possible to do self-study. I find the exam to be quite bookish - so, ensure that you read the book thoroughly. Meanwhile, I am fortunate that I had a group of people who supported me for my CTT+. It would be great to have people around particularly for the recording process...

    ? Importance of Attack Surface Expansion ?

    Having said, here is a reference to Microsoft's take on "attack surface reduction" https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/security/defender-endpoint/overview-attack-surface-reduction?view=o365-worldwide But I also agree with Rick. Zero trust. Trust nothing. All are vulnerable...

    ? Importance of Attack Surface Expansion ?

    I'm a bit confused with using the term "expansion" to "attack surface" Attack surface is the sum of all points for possible attack. So, the ideal scenario is to reduce it; not expand it. "the process of identifying and assessing the various entry points and vulnerabilities" is analysis... So...

    CTT+ Zoom

    For CTT+, I suggest having a fully in-class or fully virtual class, for recording. The reason is that: you need to ensure that you cover the basics prior to class i.e. talk about amenities, check physical environment, for in-class i.e. talk about online tools, check virtual environment, for...

    CTT+ Zoom

    The requirement is "atleast five learner names are visible in the attendee list". When recording your video, do a screen capture of your entire screen. Then in zoom, you can change the "view" to show the learners and their names, then keep the participants list open. Here's a screencapture...

    I'm getting disillusioned

    There is a way to get around the retest - use different account perhaps (?). Regarding vouchers, typically, they are country specific or user specific. I understand the query on vouchers, since it incurs cost, and people want to save money. I am not a fan of people wanting to circumnavigate...

    I'm getting disillusioned

    Unfortunately, this seems like the trend across various certification exams; not just CompTIA. As trainers, we just need to continue doing our job of providing quality training, so that our students will not only be "certified IT professionals", but will be distinguished among their peers as...

    Security+ SY0-601 sunset update?

    No official statement from CompTIA yet. Typically, the exams retire 3 years after the launch date. So, since it was launched in Nov 2020, it is possible that a new exam will be launched by Nov 2023. It is also typical that there'll be some overlap between the new and the old exam. So, it is...

    Cybersecurity Employability

    Depends on the country and State, I would say. Where are you located? In that way, other CINers could provide a more directed response.

    What's the benefit of achieving 'the trifecta'?

    Learning is the primary objective. Getting the certification proves you meet the objective. Stackable certs is just the icing on the cake, so to speak. It is indeed great to find a company that supports one's professional development. For the first few years of a person's career, it is great if...
