    Cert expiration extended?

    Yes, I knew it wouldn't renew higher level certs. But it's still showing my new expiration date for A+/Net+/Sec+ as Aug 2027 (5 yrs, 4 mos after I passed the Sec+ exam last week). I've been renewing CompTIA certs for many years--always by retaking the exams so I know what's on the exams compared...

    Cert expiration extended?

    I don't remember that being the case for any other exams I've taken, though. Maybe I just didn't notice? I'll check them later to see. If you time it well, you could get certified a decade or more into the future, if that's the case, lol!

    Cert expiration extended?

    Interesting. I passed CySA+ last summer, too, and I don't remember there being anything unusual about the dates. I'll have to go back and look.

    Cert expiration extended?

    I passed my Security+ last week (got it done the last day before the voucher expired!), and, as expected, received the emails that my A+, Net+, and Sec+ certifications were all renewed. The interesting thing is that all three gave an expiration date in 2027, which is 5 years instead of the usual...

    So... Partner Summit, anyone?

    Do we have an ETA for Partner Summit registration? I'm so excited to hopefully be back in person this year!! Looks like ChannelCon registration is open already, but I couldn't find a link for the Partner Summit. Did I miss the info in a TTT session?

    Cloud Lab

    Yeah, I think, in order to give a true vendor-neutral learning experience, you have to look for what the various platforms have in common, not what makes them different. You can't really teach or learn cloud well without getting into vendor platforms, but you don't want to get too focused on any...

    Cloud Lab

    I haven't looked at the CertMaster labs yet. With AWS Academy, you can create a sandbox environment that uses the live AWS cloud, so it's always updated. Then you have students do whatever they need to do. They have access to most services they would need all the way through Cloud+ (starting...

    Hi @PETER HANWITH HORDEN, all the labs I create are available through Cengage. I know they work with schools outside the U.S. Do you have a Cengage sales rep, or do you need help contacting someone?

    Cloud Lab

    I use an AWS lab with my A+ hardware students--it's super helpful for them to see how the stuff they've been learning in class about CPUs, storage, memory, etc., applies in the cloud. You can get them into AWS for free if you sign up for AWS Academy, create a course using the AWS Academy Learner...

    Anyone else taking the Project+ beta? What are you doing to study in addition to reviewing the objectives?

    Need some Advice

    Hi Cole, Have you heard of the NCCIA (http://nccia.net/index.php/conference)? They have an excellent conference every year...this year's is in mid-March in Winston-Salem. They offer dozens of excellent sessions, and many address CompTIA certs or related material. You can also network with some...

    The Times They Are a-Changin'

    Great points, thanks for posting on this. I'm not sure which publisher you have in mind. I know Cengage is making sweeping changes on this front, even implementing extensive training for editors to make sure the language is cleaned up and authors receive guidance from the start of authoring...
