    Complete ITF+ Course In Canvas

    Sort of, with the placement of Professor Messer videos, but it relates to the old course (220-1001 and 1002). But that is something I may work on this summer as I get bored. Send me an email at [email protected] and I'll get you what I currently have and get your thoughts on whether an update...

    HTI+ Sadly No Longer Live

    Rick, loved this: It is a capital mistake to theorize before one has data. Insensibly one begins to twist facts to suit theories, instead of theories to suit facts.” - Sherlock Holmes As noted in the article I wrote, "... enabled me to make data-driven decisions relating to energy use and...

    CYSA+ 002 Labs

    I think I've said it a number of times, but the three-year cycle we face with ANSI accredited CompTIA exams, coupled with the rapid changes in technology, has resulted in a reduction of technical textbooks and lab choices that are available. Think about it from an author or publisher's...

    "(ISC)² has created an entry-level cybersecurity certification – a first step through which we can attract and develop diverse talent to round out the cybersecurity teams of the future, including students, recent college graduates and career changers.

    Sort of Retired

    The article that I mentioned in the first posting in this forum string was finally published on Certification Magazine's website. You can view it by clicking HERE. Great to get my student and co-author recognition (see below): Helena Trukki is a National University student pursuing an...

    A+ Core 1 220-1101 & Core 2 220-1102 Sneak Peek

    For those who don't know Allen, he is Mr. CyberPatriot (or should I say, Commander CyberPatriot). Allen is a retired Naval Officer, teaching in Orange County just North of me. If you go through the history of CyberPatriot finals competition, his teams are always placing at (or sometimes near)...

    Opportunity to learn about becoming a registered apprenticeship intermediary!

    Having written and served as the initial $1M grant-funded cybersecurity apprenticeship as its principal investigator (I'm still involved with as a volunteer), these efforts are not without challenges.

    ITF Update / Date

    The one thing that suggests a "non-three year" path is the ITF+, like the Server+, is not ANSI accredited. The listed certifications shown on the link are ANSI accredited and on the three-year cycle.

    Question About Timeframe for Part-Time A+ Students

    Hands-on needs to be relevant. In high school, my favorite class was auto shop. Today as I gaze under the hood of my plug-in hybrid vehicle, I know the best thing I can do is close the hood as quickly as possible. Back in a time, before the turn of the century, like gas stations, there were...

    Question About Timeframe for Part-Time A+ Students

    This has been a challenging question and one that raises a side issue. That is should the A+ certification be structured in a two-exam format? As we all know, this is the only CompTIA certification that requires passing two exams in order to become certified. That made sense, back in the day...

    CompTIA DFIR certification

    There has never been broad buy-in relative to industry recognition for forensics certifications, other than the recognized vendor certifications (specifically Encase or FTK). Best to provide "forensics" evidence of this truth. A while back (ISC)2 had their CCFP (Certified Cyber Forensics...

    What "floats my boat" evidences itself in a page from a book written by the former Vice-Chancellor of the California Community College System. The bottom line is we need to focus on drawing potential students to the fields of IT and cybersecurity.
