    I'm getting disillusioned

    Potential employers should ask candidates how they received their cert. If the candidate did a 5-day boot camp, you can bet retention has fallen to 20%. If the candidate did self-study or a well-paced multi-week course, the retention and hireability are much higher. CompTIA needs to publish more...

    VOUCHER CTT + DISCOUNT

    This brings up the $1,000,000 question. Why invest in a certification when you know in advance the publisher will sunset it? We will find ourselves promoting a certification in a sunsetted certification.

    Partner Summit 2023

    Well, it seems the Venetian website has lower prices than CompTIA's $135. Luxor is even lower. After registering for the conference, go shopping for hotel rooms.

    Adaptive exams?

    Why is it that we do not get a percentage of correct answers? My PenTest+ result showed a number which was good enough to pass.

    CompTIA and TestOut Joining Forces

    Responding to 1) (above), the instructor should lead the class and be able to communicate the material in case technology fails. The simulated labs help further define and crystalize concepts but they do not serve as a replacement human instructor.
