Talk about the path of least resistance. A year ago, I faced dealing with that $125 certification maintenance fee for my CISSP certification. In checking with the (ISC)2, I found our that for a nominal one-time fee of $375, I could maintain the certification, add the word "Emeritus" to it, and...

Brandon, let's talk. By way of background, I'm a retired community college faculty member and for a while I've been a volunteer instructor for the Diversity Cyber Council. You can reach out to me at [email protected].

Thanks for digesting the news and laying it out in a way that helps map what appears to be happening. It sort of feels like I'm losing a valued friend.

My sense is NHCLC, with its focus on physical "learning centers" located in cities across the Country saw a rapid decline in these physical centers. The Covid-19 pandemic probably dealt the final blow. I tried to find when my neighboring NHCLC closed (San Diego), but that information wasn't...

Recent postings relating to changes at CompTIA had me thinking about the great days of the late '90s and early 2000s. I recall with fondness Microsoft's AATP program. Googling the program, I found a useful history of the program, well worth reading. Back in the good old days, many of us in the...

Admittedly the silence is deafening. This transaction, along with the decision by ACI to close its Gainesville video production center (the former ITPro.TV operation), and the recent shrinking of Leo Laporte's TWIT.TV operation to an attic studio in his Petaluma house has me wondering where...

All of this reminds me just how lucky I am, having reached a point where I'm retired (from a monetary perspective), and my current involvement is in the form of serving as a "volunteer" instructor in situations where I see value in my participation. As to content authoring, given the limited...

Wow. Those were quality people. I actually worked with ITProTV in creating video content for the CyberPatriot program, back in 2016, as part of a grant I managed. Spent a week in Gainsville at their location and enjoyed the experience.

You can see what we've done here in the California Community College system in an effort to align courses taught at our 116 colleges that have as a directive alignment with CompTIA certifications by downloading copies of final course descriptors available at: https://c-id.net/ Click on...

Email sent. I want to share the information below, because it explains how this Canvas course was created, giving credit where credit is due: This project was funded through the Strong Workforce Program, managed by the California Community College Chancellor's OfficeLinks to an external site...

Mary, I have a Canvas Shell I can provide that was developed by me, two other community college faculty, and a high school teacher. The project was grant funded (I managed the grant). Reach out to me at [email protected] and I'll send it to you. I'm currently using it as I do volunteer...

An obvious resource for academic jobs here in the U.S. is https://www.edjoin.org/.

In California's community college system, for career-type courses (what we teach and other fields like, welding, construction, automotive, etc.), you can teach by having an associates degree and six (6) years of work experience. This relaxed requirement makes sense, given the fact that teaching...

Scott, don't hesitate to reach out to me. My background in the academic community lasted over 30 years, recently retiring and serving for most of those years as a full-time professor, and ultimately winding down my career as an adjunct faculty member. There continues to be a critical need for...

Mallory, can you email me at [email protected] and I'll provide access. Note that this content is tied to the current ITF+ exam that is going to be retired shortly.

Seems like years ago that I was there (that's because it was in 2019). Enjoy yourself.....

In today's emails I received a bunch of them that were from CompTIA, each saying the same thing but identifying different certifications I hold: Dear Steven Linthicum, This is a friendly reminder that your CompTIA CySA+ ce certification will expire on Apr 21, 2026. While that is still a couple...

While I'm understandably impressed with the efforts of those on the hampster wheel of certification attainment, I can tell you that I'm much happier in my retiree role which has reduced the importance of keeping up with the everchanging technological changes in this field. Exhaustion relating to...
