    Microsoft Quasi Open Book Certification Exams

    Microsoft appears to be following a new path: "On August 22, we will begin updating our exams so that you will be able to access Microsoft Learn as you complete your exam. This resource will be available in all role-based and specialty exams in all languages by mid-September." Thoughts...

    I recall those CompTIA socks that looked with their red and white bands look like they should be attire for Christmas elves only. Are they still giving those away or have they updated their swag?

    CompTIA Xpert series certifications 2024

    Maybe some of those CISSP holders are like me (retiring). Yesterday I received a reminder that I need to pay the $125 annual "maintenance fee" to retain my CISSP & CCSP certifications. I'm thinking the ROI on that expense doesn't make sense, so I'll let it go. The same it true for CompTIA certs...

    New to CompTIA - need help with purchase options

    My suggestion is you reach out to your CompTIA representative. They cover geographic areas. You can reach out to Brian (my West Coast representative at [email protected]) and I'm sure he will connect you up with the right person.

    Testout for A+ in the Classroom

    Of interest is what are going to be the consequences relating to CompTIA's acquisition of TestOut? Are these two alternative resource products going to continue to exist or will one of them disappear?

    High School Teacher - New to A+

    Well, despite the fact that I'm irreplaceable, I'm sure the colleges and universities where I've taught have managed to find qualified individuals to handle my teaching responsibilities. ;)

    High School Teacher - New to A+

    Speaking of free (or freemium) learning resources, last week as a career-closing effort, I taught a one-week course with K-12 teachers as my students, that focused on the current Security+ certification. In addition to telling the teachers that they should join CIN, I provided a list of learning...

    High School Teacher - New to A+

    There is a great deal of overlap with the current exams, so I'd recommend having students take them both with a short time period between exams (in other words take them at the end of the learning process). I've repeatedly suggested to the folks at CompTIA that there be a single A+ exam. The...

    High School Teacher - New to A+

    I agree with John's suggestion. A challenge with A+ is you are dealing with two certification exams in order to obtain this certification, coupled with the fact that it is a challenge to teach hardware concepts without providing actual access to the hardware. ITF+ is a mile wide in terms of...
