    Okay...do you not have the links to the content? They would be in the emails.

    Passed Cloud+

    You, sir, are in need of prayer. And since I'm taking some ministerial classes these days, I think you need to stop by for a little chat, my friend:

    Office Pro v.9 - Advanced Content??

    That would be a good question - I've never explored the Office Pro content, myself. I flirted a bit with the MOU certs before, but never got around to taking one.

    Renewing CloudNetX

    I haven't looked into it, but perhaps some of the higher end AWS or Azure certs might help with some of that? I know Data is relatively new as a pathway, so that may have not matured well enough yet. Just spitballin' here, without a lot of info.

    Exam Rules - BEWARE!

    I don't think I'd be in a good frame of mind to take an exam at 0330. But I guess that's one benefit to OnVUE. I suspect they'll remain out there for folks who can use it. For me, it's a mindset thing - like when I walk into that test center, it's a frame of mind that says, "okay, Rick, time...

    What Certifications Have You Added Alongside CompTIA?

    You mean, there are OTHER CERTS?!!? lol Lately, I've been working on Microsoft Azure stuff, since I've been doing a lot of work in Azure - just this week, I spun up a Managed Instance for SQL, stood up IIS, an NSG, and App Proxying - pretty straight forward, once I started learning what was...

    How can I join the live TTT session?

    And don't forget that if you miss a session, you can still catch it on the rewind by using the link that you get in your email. Those will link you back to each session in the series. /r

    Def Con 34

    Well, if they need to hear from the community at large, I'm pretty sure folks like me and others can raise the volume up to a level that would make R. Lee Ermey, Sam Kinison, or just about every metal band in existence proud.

    Def Con 34

    Wish I could be there. Maybe one of these years, I'll get out for a DefCon. Since we're talking conferences tho... any talk about getting Partner Summit back on the board? /r

    CYSA+ V4

    It usually takes about 6-8 weeks for CompTIA to process the attendees lists and validate them, before putting the order in. /r

    Exam Rules - BEWARE!

    Well, I'm glad it's working for you. As for me, I won't trust it for myself. My biggest problem is the stories that I've heard about the lack of grace that happens. I'm sure it's not that way in every situation, but I won't roll the dice like that when it comes to a cert. And again, it's more...

    Instructor Resources

    This is the correct channel. If you connect with your Business Development Manager at CompTIA, if you're in the system as a partner, you can order all that stuff up for yourself. Of course, make sure to read the appropriate EULAs before playing. CIN's purpose is for instructors to connect...

    Please Don't Distribute Copyrighted Materials

    Reminds me of the time that someone out there was stealing all the Train the Trainer videos and posting them on his YouTube channel...fun times.

    Exam Rules - BEWARE!

    I've said this before and I know others will disagree, but I don't believe OnVUE is worth the aggravation if you have a test center in close proximity. I know, for some, it's an 'only' option to allow for folks to test, but all the horror stories I've heard over the years, for me, it's not worth...

    Exam Rules - BEWARE!

    Yeah, I don't post on the CompTIA reddit anymore, either. Like Greg mentioned, it's basically a sub full of whiny entitled cheaters, dumpers, and thieves. Even with aggressive moderating, they'll still squirm out of the woodwork. Not worth the time anymore.

    PearsonVUE Test Center Rules -

    Right...but...the question I was wondering had to do with the rules for who got to be a Pearson VUE TA. Pearson is saying no to anyone who holds a current CompTIA cert. CompTIA's information says there is a six month wait period before or after taking an exam. Pearson's change came about in...

    What's the best training?

    We can always go off the rails and start doing Azure stuff... (that's what I'm doing anyway...LOL) /r

    PearsonVUE Test Center Rules -

    So, we have PV Test Centers within our schools. The rules at https://www.comptia.org/en-us/resources/test-policies/proctor-policies/ stipulate the six-month rule that prevents anyone who has taken an exam in the last six months must wait before he/she can be a PV Test Administrator, and six...
