    How to upgrade from the Network+ (N10-008) to Network+ (N10-009)?

    Access is for a limited time. Less than a year, I believe. And no, your students will not get access. The access key is for CompTIA Instructor Network attendees of the webinar series.

    What is the shortest time to teach A+

    Can both be done in one week? Yes, if you do lecture only with no labs or demonstrations. Should both be done in one week? That is a much better question.

    CIN The Pulse - If a bad organizational culture eats ethics for breakfast, then will AI steal your lunch money?

    I'm registered, but I'll be teaching Cloud+ at that time. I'll have to watch the recording when I'm done.

    Ruh Roh...More Bad Press for Gemini AI

    I have a fundamental zero trust on almost everything. But since I'm nowhere close to retirement and it appears that AI will have an increased presence in the future, I plan on learning as much as I can about it so that I can help others use it safely, securely, and ethically.

    ACI Learning is Hiring in Colorado Springs!

    $2500 in relocation reimbursement. They want someone who lives in the region. When we moved two and a half years ago, we spent between $4K-$5k in relocation expenses, and I drove the UHaul myself.

    Selected for Beta exam for CloudNetX

    It looks like fortune smiled on me. I was added to the closed beta exam. It appears that the last day to schedule the exam is September 4th. The estimated release date for the live exam is January 2025.

    How do you display your student's certs?

    I've got over 60 certs. I only put the fun ones on the wall. CISSP, CISM, CASP+ etc. The rest are in a folder in a filing cabinet. The other walls have nautical maps and concert posters.

    After passing exam

    The only ones with access to that data would be Pearson Vue or CompTIA. Other than that, no one knows what the pass rates are for any of the exams.

    How do you display your student's certs?

    When I worked full-time at a training center, they had a wall of fame with students' pictures and the certifications they had earned. Now that most of my work is remote, the only certs on display are my own. I hang a few of them on the wall behind me to give me a bit of street cred.

    Good luck on the exam. I have applied to be added to the group of beta testers. Hopefully, I'll hear if I'm confirmed or not very soon.

    PearsonVue / OnVue problems June 2024

    The only exams I take at a physical test center are ISC2 exams because they do not offer online exams. I have taken more than a dozen exams with only one incident, and that one was quickly resolved.

    PearsonVue / OnVue problems June 2024

    I see that Carl Bowman responded on LinkedIn. It appears that Pearson Vue is having issues. They are making it difficult for testers for CompTIA and a variety of other certification organizations.

    Contradicting information on CompTIA web site about Network+

    With the TTT being run, the new Network+ will be available soon. However, I found some conflicting information on the CompTIA website and wanted to report it. The Network+ page shows that the new version of the exam went live on June 20, 2024. https://www.comptia.org/certifications/network...

    DataX Results are finally here!

    Wasn't the beta test for this last year?

    CloudNetX beta exam

    I heard that some people have been sent a private access code. I can't see the exam when I go to the Pearson Vue website. After reading through the objectives, I'd love to try it. I'd really appreciate any advice or help joining the beta.
