    PASSED my CompTIA DataX exam!

    I contacted the support center, and they provided me with a new voucher that doesn't expire until November 25, 2026. They were INCREDIBLY helpful.

    Linux+ XK0-006 vs. 005...?

    It never made any sense to me why some clients insisted that I constantly retest every time a new version of a CompTIA exam was released. I have six Security+ versions, five Network+ versions, four A+ versions, three CySA+ versions, two Cloud+ versions, two CASP+/SecurityX versions, two...

    Linux+ XK0-006 vs. 005...?

    I quit counting after the first 60. Microsoft, CompTIA, Axelos, PMI, ISC2, ISACA, CertNexus, ScrumStudy, Certiport, CSA, CIWCertified, and some others that I've forgotten. I no longer care about getting another piece of paper to shove in a folder and care more about learning something new and...

    PASSED my CompTIA DataX exam!

    I had DataX scheduled for today, the last day before the voucher expired. When I went to sign in, it seemed that I had registered for 7AM and not 7PM, so I was marked as a "No Show" for the exam.

    Students Keep Asking for Social Media Postings

    The most disturbing thing is that this is only making the talent pipeline worse. Systems will be run by LLMs with little to no human intervention. When something breaks, we're all screwed.

    What happened with the Tech Trainer options that were discussed in 2023?

    In the last few years, I haven't seen anything from CompTIA that appears to be a comprehensive strategy at all. If I were running things, I would focus on improving the brand of the current suite of certifications, not adding continuing ed courses that you can get anywhere for a fraction of...

    What happened with the Tech Trainer options that were discussed in 2023?

    It wasn't going to be a requirement. The CTT+ wasn't a requirement. They were training courses for new trainers to learn how to be a trainer.

    Students Keep Asking for Social Media Postings

    I read it on Reddit all the time. They want to watch some prerecorded videos like those from Messer or Dion at 1.5X speed and take a battery of practice exams so they can put another cert on their resume for a job that they will never get.

    Compcert Courses -- Where's The Beef

    Like the EC-Council CEH. Without the DoD, that certification and certification body would dry up.

    What happened with the Tech Trainer options that were discussed in 2023?

    What happened with the Tech Trainer options that were discussed in 2023? Did they disappear with the new ownership group of the for-profit CompTIA?

    Students Keep Asking for Social Media Postings

    The best you can do it make it accessible. They have the responsibility to stay engaged. They have to meet you halfway. As the saying goes, "you can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink."

    Compcert Courses -- Where's The Beef

    Some vendors, such as OffSec, offer lab-based exams only. No MCQs anywhere in their exams.

    Compcert Courses -- Where's The Beef

    There are newbies on Reddit who are passing exams with zero experience by watching Messer's and Dion's videos while using Quizlet to study definitions and acronyms. Over the years, the exams have become far too easy. I didn't have a single subnetting question on the most recent version of...
