    SY0-701 beta?

    CompTIA has recently listed the retirement date for the SY0-601 exam as July 2024 (see https://www.comptia.org/certifications/security#examdetails ). Briefly looking at the differences in focus from the current exam to new exam draft objectives, I'm sensing a substantial difference. Below is a...

    I'm getting disillusioned

    Below is content in the (ISC)2 website. Before obtaining the CISSP and CCSP certifications, I was required to satisfy the requirements relating to work experience. Would it make sense for CompTIA to adopt similar requirements that are aligned with their experience recommendations for those...

    I'm getting disillusioned

    This thread goes a long way toward supporting why I've taught in an academic environment.

    I'm getting disillusioned

    Let me pose it in a manner few want to consider. Some training companies (notice I did not say all), focus their efforts on "career changers" as their customers. They rush them through a series of three certification-related courses in a boot camp style 5-day format for each course. The students...

    How should I display my certificates in my office?

    I display them in a box in the attic. From a practical standpoint, probably best to display them in your LinkedIn profile. We're geeks afterall.

    My Life in Retirement (Post-Teaching)

    Below a message I spammed out today to the residents in my senior (55+) community: As some of you know, I'm approaching full retirement from teaching in May as I leave my current role as an IT/cybersecurity professor at Saddleback College and National University. My efforts will then focus on...

    A+ Instructor Needed for Online Class

    In talking to Jamie he indicated that the position requires that you are a California resident. That is apparently a requirement of their accreditation issuer.
