    N10-008 vs N10-007 Exam Objectives Comparison

    I would like to see this for all exams and also very early in the process.

    Ring Topology

    There are still a lot of XP machines, floppy disks being used, and other old stuff. But all these eventually have to be dropped from the objectives. What makes Ring Topology so special is what I'm wondering.

    Ring Topology

    Please tell me that I'm wrong but isn't it time for Ring Topology to be removed from the Network+ objectives? I understand that there are things left in the objectives that are relevant and still in use but not sure about this one. I do see that Cat 3 cabling is gone though.

    Microsoft Change of Heart - Windows....11?

    If there is a Windows 11 that is substantially different, what does that do for the recent release of the 220-1101 and 220-1102 A+ Objectives? Would CompTIA revise those if there are major changes or just wait three years for the next release of the A+ Objectives?

    Number of CompTIA Exams Passed

    If you count Microsoft, CompTIA, Cisco, CIW, and so on, I'm at least at 20+. I have certs older than my students.

    Pearson Vue Revoked Exam

    I took the CEH practical at home. My dog was barking at the door and I turned around for a second and looked at the door. The proctor literally about freaked out. Told me not to communicate with anyone. I told him my dog barked and my instinct was to look at the door. It was a horrible...

    Network+ Beta Exam (Will there be one?)

    I see that Network+ will be updated this Fall. Will there be a beta exam for it? I'm guessing not since the timeline is getting short.

    A+ Curriculum (Do you teach it as one course or two?)

    So my question is do you teach the A+ curriculum as one course or two? Do you do the 1001 objectives separate from the 1002 objectives when teaching or do you just blend it together? How does this work out for students who are mostly wanting to prepare for the exams rather than those students...

    How long have you been CompTIA certified?

    A+ and Network+ both since about 2001.

    A+ Objectives

    Question: Why can't CompTIA perhaps do a better job at organizing objectives in a more logical order? For example, with A+ Core 2 (220-1002) Safety and Professionalism is in the very last part. As a teacher, this is the very first thing I would want to teach, especially before we do any...

    Not CompTIA but a Server Cert Question

    If you view the CompTIA A+ objectives there is a lot of Microsoft specific things. Below are just a few from the 1002 objectives. Based on this, I'm not sure why CompTIA would not include some Windows Server features in the objectives for Server+. Compare and contrast features of Microsoft...

    Not CompTIA but a Server Cert Question

    That are my thoughts. Sauk Valley Community College has a few courses aligned and mapped to the Microsoft Certs. Without a cert, curriculum will disappear probably also. Maybe CompTIA should fill that void with a new cert that focuses on Server Operating Systems.

    Not CompTIA but a Server Cert Question

    For those who teach on-premise server courses that aligned to the following: 70-740: Installation, Storage, and Compute with Windows Server 2016 70-741: Networking with Windows Server 2016 70-742: Identity with Windows Server 2016 What do you plan to do since there is no longer a cert for...

    Next Update for ITF?

    Any talk to when the next update will be out for ITF? ITF is about three years old. Looking at offering it at the college I teach at but if new objectives are coming soon, I'll wait to build the course and develop a syllabus.

    ifconfig vs. ip addr

    My original post was not about ifconfig being used, or not used, but rather is the inconsistency to if the various CompTIA objectives are going to go with it or not. With Linux+ ifconfig is gone. Security+ ifconfig is back. During the CySA+ Train the Trainer, it was brought up again. Just asking...

    ifconfig vs. ip addr

    it looks like 'ifconfig' is also in the brand new Network+ objectives. Not saying I want it to go away, it's just that when you teach it, students sometimes like to point out that it is deprecated. I then have to pull out the CompTIA objectives to show them that it is still covered and could be...

    Looking at what equipment would be best to stand up a lab to train for Network+, Security+ and Server+?

    You can do a lot with VirtualBox and HyperV. Especially for Security+ and Networking. Packet Tracer for Cisco labs. Cisco has a recommended set of routers and switches for the CCNA labs. Over the years I just kept on crating more and more labs for students with very little equipment due to cost.
