    Update to CompTIA Project+ in 2025?

    There has been no announcement about the Project+ certification. If i had to guess, I'd say we won't see an update any sooner than 2026.

    Train the trainer.

    There is no calendar of events. Typically, @Stephen Schneiter announces upcoming TTT sessions on the CIN boards.

    DeepSeek

    A Chinese artificial intelligence company called DeepSeek has released an AI app with development costs estimated at only $6 million. OpenAI, Google, and other major US companies are on track to invest roughly $1 trillion over the coming years. The news has caused NVIDIA to lose 15% of its stock...

    Printed courseware is gone, but what about the PDFs?

    I've seen this discussion on Reddit hundreds of times. Almost all of them have come to the conclusion that a cheap exam prep book, free or cheap abridged videos, and practices exams of questionable legal status are the best way to exam cram their way to certification without labs or experience...

    Printed courseware is gone, but what about the PDFs?

    I have long agreed that CompTIA courseware is priced well beyond the rest of the market. Their books and PDFs were over $100 USD, while the average comparable exam prep book can be found online for $40-$60 USD. The labs are useful for providing hands-on experiences to illustrate the technical...

    AI Essentials

    According to my sources inside CompTIA, AI Essentials should be available in the next few weeks. The first expansions will be available later this year, focusing on AI skills for security professionals.

    Printed courseware is gone, but what about the PDFs?

    We know that CompTIA is no longer producing printed courseware, but what about the PDF Instructor Guides? I know they exist for some certs, but not for others. E-books are available when PDFs are not. I can speak for myself and my students. E-books suck. They require network access. There...

    How would you filter TikTok?

    There is no doubt Cambridge Analytica was a huge scandal. The courts should've leveraged much stiffer penalties in that case. But a hostile nation harvesting data on US citizens is much worse.

    Post Quality and CIN (long-read - get some coffee)

    I have spoken with @Rick Butler and several others about this very topic. There have been quite a few low-quality posts ranging from people posting random topics just to ask which exams covered them in their exam objectives to posting a list of quiz questions and then answering them. We don't...

    How would you filter TikTok?

    It's one thing if an American company is aggressively harvesting data to market to the customers. It's another if a hostile foreign government is harvesting PII on American citizens.

    How would you filter TikTok?

    It's ridiculous that this has become a political issue. The app, along with several other online services, has legitimate cybersecurity concerns.

    where is v9 module 0 PPT slides?

    This is a crazy idea, but hear me out. Maybe CompTIA should solicit feedback from CompTIA instructors about potential offerings.

    where is v9 module 0 PPT slides?

    CompTIA is thinning out the content. The Cloud+ instructor guide PDF doesn't include a cover page, table of contents, or labs. They only publish the contents in the lessons and nothing else.

    Discussion on Cloud + Platform

    Who are you posting for? You made seven consecutive posts, with no response. It looks like a quiz you would give a brand new student, and there are none of them here. CIN is made up of experienced CompTIA instructors and technical subject matter experts. Raise the level of discourse. Don't...

    how to get network+ v9 license to practice labs ?

    Instructors do not get free CertMaster resources directly from CompTIA. You would have to get it through a CompTIA partner.

    Large Language Models

    Trevor, your post is completely unprofessional. You should be ashamed of yourself.

    AI Essentials

    CompTIA hasn't commented on the AI certs since they were announced on March 24, 2024. https://www.comptia.org/newsroom/comptia-announces-ai-product-roadmap-expansion-covering-six-domains Updates from the new owners and management of CompTIA have been nonexistent.

    Upcoming SME Workshops

    I know what they told all of us when we were working on exam questions. It surprised all of us as well, but they said we were welcome to take the exam and teach the class.
