    DataSys+

    The exam covered the exam objectives. Because SQL is covered in multiple objectives, there were quite a few questions on it. You should be able to read SQL code blocks and understand the syntax, including transactions. You should understand indexes, performance, BCDR, data security, & GRC. If...

    DataSys+

    I have plans to take DataX when it comes out. I also need to complete Linux+ and renew each of the new versions of the older exams.

    DataSys+

    Yesterday, I passed the DataSys+ exam. I have lots of experience with SQL, MS SQL Server, and MS Access so a lot of it was review. It's a pretty good exam for people who are working with databases in a business context, as well as a technical role designing, installing, monitoring...

    Application of credits for exam renewal

    Did you pay your CEU fees as well? Renewal requires both the achievement of the minimum number of CEUs as well as payment of the CEU fee.

    PenTest+ (PT1-003) Beta Exam is also available

    Mine is good through 2028, so I'll sit this one out. Working for CompTIA as an Adjunct Instructor, I can get a voucher when it goes live.

    CA1-005: CompTIA SecurityX Certification Beta Exam

    The only issue with taking a beta exam is that you don't know the results immediately as you do with the live exam. I took the Cloud+ beta exam in February and I'm still waiting on the results.

    CA1-005: CompTIA SecurityX Certification Beta Exam

    PearsonVue has the CA1-005: CompTIA SecurityX Certification Beta Exam listed under "Other exams." When I attempted to register for it, it stated "Scheduling for this exam will begin in the future." Apparently, registration doesn't start until May 17, 2024. My current CASP+ doesn't expire...

    To validate that I am an official CompTIA instructor, do I need to have the CTT+ or is there another new related certification?

    I did a quick search for Train-the-Trainer programs and found the following. I have no experience with them and cannot vouch for their validity. https://www.amanet.org/training-topics/employee-training-and-development/ https://www.td.org/education-courses/courses-by-role/trainer...

    To validate that I am an official CompTIA instructor, do I need to have the CTT+ or is there another new related certification?

    I think I may be the only person who was ever granted that distinction. Logical Operations created both the Modern Classroom Certified Trainer (MCCT) and the Certified Virtual Educator (CVE) during the pandemic as a means of training trainers to work in an online environment. The CVE was...

    Proctoring Issues

    No complaints from me. I love remote testing. I wish ISC2 would do it too. The people who have most of the problems are the ones who either didn't read the rules or read them but didn't follow them. And these are the people trying to get IT jobs.........I weep for our industry.

    Proctoring Issues

    I have taken a dozen CompTIA exams online using OnVue since the pandemic started. I've taken OnVue for other certification exams as well. I've never had any significant problems. One time, a proctor claimed to have lost my webcam feed. The proctor rebooted my exam and everything went fine...

    When Can we Purchase Learn, Labs & Practice for the CompTIA Network+N10-009

    Considering that the go-live date for the exam isn't until June 20, 2024, I wouldn't expect CertMaster to be available until closer to that time.

    Planning for automatic renewal of certifications achieved

    If you're doing the cybersecurity track, do the certifications in this order so each new one renews all the previous ones. 1, A+ 2. Network+ 3. Security+ 4. CySA+ or PenTest+ 5. PenTest+ or CySA+ 6. CASP+ CySA+ and PenTest+ are considered to be at the same level. Neither will automatically...

    I'm teaching Network+ this week. Five days of training, from 9 AM until 4 PM. It is an official CompTIA training course using CertMaster resources. We cover four lessons per day. The CertMaster labs literally have step-by-step instructions in the virtual labs. I introduce the students to...

    AI Training

    CompTIA has to be very careful about diluting its brand. Everyone in the known universe knows about the A+/Network+/Security+ trifecta because they have been around for so long. CASP+ is rebranding as SecurityX and ITF+ is rebranding as Tech+. I understand that CompTIA certifications are...
