I am glad I passed SecurityX in the summer! They sent me not one but TWO kits (at no charge!)

Okay thanks... November 6, huh? I guess that's why I don't have one for Linux+. In my opinion, the junior exams (Tech+ and such) it makes sense... but for senior certs where the exams cost HUNDREDS of dollars? It seems a bit cheap to me. But then again... I stopped getting wallet cards from...

Hey folks! I did not even notice it when I did not get a fulfillment package for my last couple of certifications. I was telling my students recently (they are doing Tech+ A+ and Network+) that when you earn a new certification CompTIA will mail you a hard copy of the certificate and wallet...

Not for nothing, but the current A+ courses and exams (220-1201 & 220-1202) are less than a year old. I wouldn't hold my breath if I were you...

I am registered and excited! I think I passed the CySA+ v2 with three days to spare before it was retired. Now I'm all in!

You beat me by a mile! However I think there is something to be said for someone who once had trouble understanding octal permissions scoring 777 on this one! ;)

I have to ask... based on the link NOT being at *.comptia.org, is this the official page? I am happy with it, but I would be happier knowing that it was (or was not). Thanks!

Let me start by saying that I think this is an absolutely terrible question. With that said, the contacts and calendars would only sync through Microsoft Outlook, and not through just any old 'corporate communication software.'

Woohoo! That is great news. Thanks for letting us know :)

Congratulations!!

I know what you mean. A few months ago I had a group from the military learning SecurityX and I was told they expected a 100% pass rate. I told the coordinator at the end of the first day that I would gladly point out which students would (or should) pass the exam, and the 50% who did not have...

Here is hoping and praying to whoever you pray to that you don't die over Net+/Sec+ :) Please let us know if your rep does provide :)

I really do empathize; I understand your frustrations, and while I know the documents are available (I just checked Security+), I also know that we as instructors are not allowed to share CompTIA's intellectual property with others. With that said, if you were to look for a CompTIA support email...

Those documents are available when you purchase (or the learning org purchases for you) the Instructor material. Without that it would be a violation for anyone to share it with you. As an aside, I used to be afraid to ask the training orgs that hired me for the Instructor Material. Coming from...

While I spend most of my time teaching cybersecurity, most people know me as a Microsoft guy. I was a Microsoft MVP, a Technology Evangelist with Microsoft Canada, and a Fast Track Engineer with Microsoft (both as a contractor). I have probably delivered a thousand lectures on Microsoft...

Hi Katie! I would be delighted. What do you need from me? :)

I completely agree! I have been asked to take the newest version of an exam once, but when I told the training provider (who is known for not paying very well) that my certs were current, and I would only take the new exam if they provided me a voucher, they demurred. With that said, you have...

For the first couple of years I framed my certs. I eventually threw them out. I also want to learn what is useful, but the reality is a lot of companies want us to hold certifications for the classes we teach.

Thank you! Yes, I have failed Microsoft a lot, VMware a couple of times (renewals only)... but never a CompTIA, ISC2, or CSA exam. As for keeping records... how could I not? It is so important to measuring one's progression :)

In my career I have sat 114 exams, and have passed 78 of them. (In the early days when I was getting free vouchers from Microsoft I failed a lot... my current streak since November 2017 is 29 passed, 3 failed (two of which I'd already passed but tried a new beta version, the other I failed on...
