    Upcoming CompTIA Certification Launches and CIN Webinars

    Thank you for the updates! Definitely looking forward to seeing that CloudNetX. Any word yet on the next Cloud+? I passed the Beta on the last go-around, and that's about to expire.

    Passed 1101 Exam

    Sweet! It's great when instructors take the initiative to keep up with current exams, even if they had the cert already.

    CIN TTT Series - DataSys+ DS0-001 - Session 6 Content not available or is still being processed

    Reloading the page fixed it each time for me, too. Weird that it kept getting snagged, though.

    Does DataSys+ help for Data+?

    I think it depends on their background as to which to take first. If students have more of an IT background, especially a solid foundation in networking, DataSys+ will probably be more manageable as a starting place. If they have more of a math background, and have had some statistics training...

    TTT Roadmap

    Teresa Sears told me it would just be learning materials--curated course materials to enable students to go straight to the Sec+ course. But maybe I didn't clarify my question well enough? Or maybe they have future plans to create new certs? They also talked about working on digital literacy...

    TTT Roadmap

    The underscore products are just training materials, though, right? Not exams/certs?

    Assessments

    Not sure if you heard--this is about to change. CompTIA acquired TestOut earlier this year. They said the TestOut certs will be removed from the platform. The exams will still be there, but they won't be associated with any certification.

    Glad to finally meet you in person! Great pics this week!

    Network+ or A+?

    What you might be thinking of is the renewal process. If you pass A+, you get your one certification. If you have already passed A+ and then pass Net+, it also renews your lower level certs, including A+. But have to have already passed A+ within the previous 3 years...

    3rd Party Training Materials or Official CompTIA Learn & Labs

    From a content developer's perspective, I'll just say... Some companies place greater emphasis on learning design, pedagogy, and learning theory than others do. There are also many different learning audiences, and no single product can do a good job of addressing all these audiences' needs...

    Will taking the new A+ 1101 & 1102 jeopardize my 2028 expiration date?

    Teaching to the test is not the same thing as helping students prepare for the test. I think it's completely legitimate to discuss how concepts might be tested, and what kinds of surprise topics might show up on the exam. The only way I can know those things is if I've taken these types of exams...

    Will taking the new A+ 1101 & 1102 jeopardize my 2028 expiration date?

    But when we can renew these certs via TTT vouchers, it's not "spending money", it's instructors keeping up with the exams as the TTTs are intended to do. I think keeping certs current is less important to me than seeing the exams regularly, so I can better help my students know what to expect...
