    Troubleshooting?

    Troubleshooting is one area of overlap with multiple CompTIA exams. There are several other topics that are also covered on multiple CompTIA exams. CompTIA needs to take a look at the exam objectives for all of its certifications to ensure that any overlapping topics are covered consistently...

    Troubleshooting?

    Troubleshooting is discussed in multiple CompTIA certifications. It's covered in Tech+, A+, Network+, and Cloud+ to name a few. What I'd like to know is why are the steps in the troubleshooting methodology different in each of the certifications. I'm teaching Cloud+ this week and there are...

    Upcoming SME Workshops

    It's not accurate to say that Trainers cannot be SMEs for CompTIA exams. I was retained as an SME to help write exam questions for a Cybersecurity Fundamentals+ exam, which CompTIA ultimately did not choose to pursue further. I was told by the staff at CompTIA that trainers could participate...

    Partner Summit 2025??

    ChannelCon's web page redirects to the GTIA page. The Partner Summit's web page redirects to the CompTIA main page. The two groups may have split up the two events with each one getting one.

    GTIA?

    Yeah, LinkedIn had a ton of people posting that they were "Open To Work." Looks like January 9th was the day many people were being let go.

    Partner Summit 2025??

    The two private equity firms' acquisition of CompTIA became complete this week, so I expect many changes to come soon. The old non-profit portion is named the Global Technology Industry Association (GTIA). I don't know which group owns the Partner Summit. Other than public press releases...

    GTIA?

    CompTIA. The two private equity firms bought most of the IP, the certifications, the training, and the brand itself.

    GTIA?

    Sounds like the old CompTIA non-profit association has a new name picked out finally. It also appears that some of the previous staff will be staying with the non-profit, some will be moving to the for-profit, and some will be moving on to other opportunities with other organizations.

    An A+ History question

    My first of four A+ certifications were the 220-231 and 220-232 in November 2003. Apparently, the previous versions were 220-221 and 220-222 and they were adaptive.

    What prevents our students from completing their goals

    I post there because there are a few learners on the subreddit who want to do things legitimately. But yes, there is a large number of people who want to cut corners so they can jump up to a six-figure, mid-career job, with no experience, no skills, and just a few "paper" certs. Plus, the...

    CIN TTT Series - PenTest+ PT0-003

    Learn Coding for Cybersecurity?

    I do not. CompTIA is vendor and technology-agnostic. The certs are starting points, not destinations. They should be paired with other non-CompTIA vendor-specific certifications, such as MS Azure, AWS, Cisco, Palo Alto, Red Hat, etc.

    What prevents our students from completing their goals

    It's been that way for decades. And part of the blame goes to the sales and marketing teams with various certification organizations and training companies. They sell expensive boot camps with a test pass guarantee so students can exam cram a certification. I just saw one a moment ago in my...

    Ransomware Response Plan

    It's called business continuity & disaster recovery and everyone should be doing it already.

    Learn Coding for Cybersecurity?

    Both PenTest+ and SecurityX require a basic understanding of Bash, PowerShell, and Python. They are explicitly listed in the exam objectives.

    Tech+ exam

    That has no bearing on my previous statement. Clients are concerned. For example, DataX training does not offer hard copy courseware or downloadable PDFs. They provide online courseware. And no one knows what the new ownership group intends to do in the future.

    Tech+ exam

    Generally speaking, the clients are uncertain what training and content offerings will be available from CompTIA once the acquisition is final. The new owners will operate CompTIA as a for-profit organization, so some offerings may be discontinued while new offerings may become available...
