    Is this just for live-stream or will it be available on the rewind?

    Credential Value index

    The pendulum always swings. Every few years, we see articles like these that poo-poo on this certification or that credential. Whether it's someone in the education sector that is trying to accentuate the importance of secondary education (as a means to get more students to take out phat...

    Cautionary tale for IT professionals

    I have a new shirt for you, Jason... (another reason why I don't do apple products...btw...)

    Congrats on that!

    Knowing NIST

    I seem to remember a couple questions that had the NIST publications identified in the answers. Can't give you a lot of details, since it's been a little while and I've had my head down on so many other things as of late. However, knowing the relevant NIST certs, to me, is a good thing always.

    Are Project+ and Server+ changing from "good for life" to CE certifications?

    I never saw any e-mails on that either. But I would not be surprised by the move. I can see a CE requirement for Project+, as things tend to shift in the world of PM. Server+...well, perhaps not as pervasive unless we wanted to focus more on virtual server technology, rather than on-prem...

    CompTIA A+ 1201 and 1202 passed

    Good job - congrats on your win. /r

    How often do you teach each of the CompTIA courses per year?

    I think the more certs you have, the more plates you get to spin to have to keep them all current.

    Where to Find Security+ 701 Instructor Guide PDF and PPTs?

    Are you trying to get these because you're signed up on a TTT webinar series?

    CIN TTT Series: How to find new courses to register?

    The one feature I hope we get on the new CIN board when it comes out is having discussions pinned on the home screen - for just these events - although I think I like how Discord does it better. ;)

    How often do you teach each of the CompTIA courses per year?

    Well, in the last year, I've not been in the classroom - I've been more of an Enterprise Architect...or something like that. I've only taught A+, Net+, and Sec+ in a classroom setting. Project+ and Server+ here on CIN. The rest of them, well, not so much. I do miss being in the classroom -...

    I often say, Reddit is like playing Doom on Nightmare mode, using only your fists.

    Passed SecurityX CAS-005

    Because in the end, as we see time and time again, many candidates don't care about possessing the skill and experience to actually *do* a job, but rather, they just want a fast track to that phat paycheck that might come a smidge easier if they have a few dozen letters hanging off their...

    Future TTT course

    Totally agree. These things *can* be a bit tricky with On24 as a platform out of the box - one of the reasons why using OBS works great to switch scenes like that.

    What's in a name?

    I can see that. With the proverbial alphabet soup of certifications out there, it's hard to differentiate who is 'technical' and who is 'managerial' focused. I see that most with HR staffers who latch onto a cert, such as Security+, thinking that they want their Level 1 helpdesk people to have...

    What's in a name?

    I think there are some certs that have held their value. I think getting rid of CTT+ was a big mistake, but, well, not my mistake to make. I quite literally got mine done on the very last day of eligibility - mostly because I told myself for years I was going to get it. I wonder if something...

    Got me all excited and then...

    I wouldn't go *that* far. Besides, it's the magic of the Fedora. Seriously. Last year, I tried a couple of small social experiments. When I was at Anthology Together 24, I didn't have my hat with me. No one even gave me a notice. And despite my *trying* to meet new people, well, I guess I...

    Course Migration

    I've never done anything like that, myself, but perhaps you can do a Provisioning export the data in Settings > Reports into a CSV, change the associated Course ID (and other fields as needed) and push it back using the SIS Import tool, doing the UI Override. Maybe move one student using the UI...

    You'd be proud of me, Jason - I crafted that particular response...on my old Surface 5 - running Linux Mint. We could always go with X - but then Elon Musk might have something to say about it.

    Got me all excited and then...

    So, it would seem that I'm starting to reach artifact status here in the CIN....today, this came through: So, hurriedly, I thought I'd check my new pixel acquisition and: *sigh* Oh well - womp-womp. Oh well. I guess that means @Stephen Schneiter owes me beer now. /r
