Well, there's that - but there were questions that I legit didn't know or had to guess.

When I've built classes in the past, I've had to use a combination of a previous version book and the CompTIA objectives to put together a class, in the absence of updated material. In my experience, 20-25% of a course changes between revisions, so it's not too hard to build a working outline...

BDM is a Business Development Manager, the representative in CompTIA that interfaces with partners. I haven't heard of a voucher or materials freeze, but perhaps while CompTIA restructures its business to more of a for-profit model, it has to manage costs. But then, I haven't had to request a...

I took the 061, cold turkey, zero prep, just to see how I'd do. Even after 30+ years in the industry, I still got questions wrong - which means there's always something more to learn, even at entry level.

Casual hours are basically on an as-needed basis. There are no guarantees of hours or timing, a contrast from Part-Time work which has a set schedule, albeit less than the 40 hour US standard. There are no ongoing commitments between employer or employee and the pay is akin to gig-work.

Well done! That's a great accomplishment. I remember when I passed CySA the first time - I came out of the test room at our school...and into the middle of a major server outage, with everyone trying to find me... Good times. Again, congrats on your win!

It's all good. CIN did add a bit more control with the business email thing - which I'm completely fine with. I would say it's more about what they DON'T want, such as fraudsters that just want free vouchers.

Snaer: If you use the same On24 links from your email, they will always point to the on-demand recordings as well. Meanwhile, here's the link for CNX-001 Session 1. /r

CIN is a global community of instructors, program directors, managers, or basically anyone who is involved in helping students learn the CompTIA content. It's not specific to Authorized partners, as there are plenty of individual trainers, content producers, freelancers and so forth, who are...

True for playing the lottery. But I think CompTIA sees an opportunity to secure business and profit. They see an opportunity to do business and they, perhaps, see a calculus that we don't see.

Undoubtedly. Can't win a game if you don't play.

I've heard of a number of issues with OnVUE over the years, to the point where, I, myself, will never take an OnVUE exam; I'll continue to go to a testing center. Just safer that way,, IMAO. Hopefully appealing to their support staff will help.

So, my thought on this is that CompTIA's leadership and ownership has decided that profit is more essential than the high-ground it once had by being a non-profit. But again, when you're non-profit, you are always on the edge of financial collapse because you don't/or can't make too much money...

So, I finally am getting caught up on things. It's been a wild ride this month as try to keep Anthology from slowly taking over my life. What I see, first of all, is that the Essentials series is not for established IT specialists. This was brought up a few years ago at CompTIA Summit (I want...

Meanwhile, I'm still trying to get caught up... On Demand this AM...lol /r

Woot. I'm loaded up.

Certainly has been. Thanks for the shoutout! Thanks for that. I don't like being too long away from the CIN motley crew.

No, not quite so glamorous. Just buried in the deluge of software rollout issues. First it was a lot of them - now it's fewer, but more complex. Ahh... I was starting to get the itch to start up a degree program myself...but...not sure if the return on investment is there for me... Good luck...

All tee'd up!

Hey CIN: It seems like more than a minute since I've been about. We've been deploying Anthology Student here at the school, and that has dominated all of my time. I didn't want y'all to think I disappeared or abandoned you or something. And then I come back to a whole long...
