    CE Maintenance Fees

    It's $50 a year, whether you have 1 or a 100 certifications. Your payment should point towards your highest cert, in your case CySA+

    With CompTIA rebranding CASP+ & ITF, will they also rebrand A+?

    From what CompTIA published the Security X will be the new king of the hill of the Cybersecurity path. So now we have A+, Network+, Security+, Pentest+, CySA+, CASP+ and Security X. I'm sure they will come up with some new stackable cert to include Security X. I also read that if our CASP+ is...

    Data Analytics Pathway - certification renewal

    I found this blog article https://www.comptia.org/blog/enhance-your-training-solutions-with-the-comptia-data-pathway-certification?utm_source=advocacy&medium=social&blaid=6576091 It doesn't mention the CEU, but it mention the "order" of the certs, so we might see it as a trio of certs that will...

    With CompTIA rebranding CASP+ & ITF, will they also rebrand A+?

    CASP+ is now on version CAS-004. Security X will be CAS-005. The cool thing is that I don't have to take the exam, my CASP+ version 4 will be upgraded to Security X and all my certs will be renewed automatically

    Addressing the Skills Gap: Bridging Theory and Practice in IT Education

    In my case If I'm teaching a Network class (not a certification course, a college class aligned with CompTIA) I start using tools like packet tracer to show them the basics. In a networking 101 you can teach them how to set DNS, HTTP and email servers. Then on a more advanced class you can use...

    Data certification path is incomplete...

    Yes, another thing I found kind of baffling is that they don't provide information for CEU's that allows to renew Server+, that cert is not listed anywhere on the recommended external courses or certs to get CEU's.

    Teaching CASP+ next week

    Yes, some training companies are just trying to sell seats, telling students they can jump into any course without telling them the right background they need to get the most out of the class. It sets them up for failure when they hit the material and realize they’re way over their heads

    Teaching CASP+ next week

    In my Pentest+ and CySA+ classes, I’ve encountered students who come in with completely unrealistic expectations, especially those new to the field or making a career change. Some have little to no understanding of the material or the depth of knowledge required, yet expect to be able to conduct...

    CEU's for other certifications earned

    That's excellent! One of the universities I work for asked me to take the CISM as they have an academic partnership with ISACA. But for those tests you need to get rid of the practitioner hat and focus on thinking like a manager. I'm still thinking about taking that test.....

    CEU's for other certifications earned

    Thanks, some of us on the thread are looking things from different point of views and that's great. I'm sure as technology develops and more and more certifications objectives start to overlap CompTIA will make it easier to add CEU's, in the meantime I'll concentrate on the CASP+/Security X...

    AI Essentials and AI+ expansions

    That would have been cooler in Germany! Yes, that's why I'm so eager to see what they come up with. My feeling in Atlanta after I asked the panelists was that they are still figuring out how to do it. Maybe they are realizing that all those tiny add ons are not the right answer

    CEU's for other certifications earned

    In most places, you'd expect to focus on a specific role, but in Puerto Rico, it's different. You have to be prepared to handle much more than what the job description outlines. It’s a cultural thing here—you’re hired for one position, but you often end up managing multiple responsibilities. For...

    CEU's for other certifications earned

    That's good to know, as a matter of fact the CASP+ I think I did pretty well, from all the tests taken it had the shortest list of failed objectives, 5 to be exact and objective 4 - GRC wasn't even there.

    AI Essentials and AI+ expansions

    That is a great move. I don't know if you were in Atlanta. They explained the multi domain model, but I honestly don't remember much, other than they were thinking of being cert specific, like a course for AI directed at a Pentester, another directed as a Cyber Security Analyst and so on. I've...

    CEU's for other certifications earned

    I supervise people, but I’ve maintained hands-on involvement, just like many others I know. In my experience, I’m often the one the CISSP or CISM call on to do the heavy lifting, even though we work on the same floor and are seen as part of the top-level IT/cybersecurity chain, where managerial...

    CEU's for other certifications earned

    Interesting, you're the first person I've heard of who passed that exam while skipping that section entirely. Most stories point to that as a significant part, especially in the simulation. Did you take the regular exam or the beta version?

    I am waiting those expansions like you have no idea! Since I saw them in Atlanta I became really interested on how they will be implemented, the type of test, educational material, etc.....

    CEU's for other certifications earned

    Maybe we’re approaching this exchange of ideas from two different perspectives—you’re focusing on what’s required to pass the exam, while I’m looking at it from the viewpoint of actual fieldwork and practical responsibilities of the certified person. So it's good to mention that one of the...

    CEU's for other certifications earned

    It depends. If you lack foundational skills in networking, Linux, or SOC operations and jump straight to earning CASP+, you might be setting yourself up for a challenge. Unlike certifications from ISACA or CISSP, where you need to demonstrate real-world experience to become certified, CompTIA...

    Thank you so much for taking the time to find this! I already hold the trifecta (A+, Network+, Security+), along with Pentest+, CySA+, and CASP+. I recently passed Linux+, and I plan to earn Cloud+ around Christmas, which will automatically renew Linux+. For the Cloud+ CEUs, I’m thinking of...
