    Meyers: Sec+ 601 retirement date pushed back to December 2024 instead of July

    https://www.totalsem.com/blog/comptia-certification-news-you-dont-want-to-miss/ CompTIA's site still says July, but I doubt that Meyers is making this up. I just wish that CompTIA would add a confidentiality clause when they tell the big-time instructors news like this first until they can...

    Cloud+ beta, february 2024

    I just looked at my invite email and don't know how I missed this right at the bottom... So, if history is any indicator, we'll get results around May. (For instance, CySA+ 003 was released in June 2023 and beta testers got results in early May.)

    Cloud+ beta, february 2024

    I sat for this recently. 118 questions, including four PBQs. My sentiment is similar to others' here. I'd be surprised if we get results before September, but I hope I'm wrong.

    Passed XK0-005 on the last day of my TTT voucher's validity 🎉

    It's been an incredibly busy and haphazard last few months and I just hadn't had the time or headspace to go back and review. Finally speed-ran back through both the TTT and the Dion course and managed to pass yesterday with about six hours of validity left on the voucher. 😆

    CySA+ CS1-003 beta results coming in.

    On release exams where we get results immediately, they generally show up on CompTIA/CertMetrics within five business days. I'm guessing that for beta exams, they show up within five days of results becoming available from PearsonVue, so... next Monday? Here's the thread for the TTT. The...

    CYSA+ 003 is an amazing course and labs

    I'm excited for the TTT!

    CySA+ CS1-003 beta results coming in.

    Happened to be looking at my CompTIA/Pearson account today and decided to peek at the status of the CySA+ beta I took in December. I saw the words "Status: Pass". (🥳) Looked for it under score reports to verify and it's true. I haven't received an official email yet and it's not appearing in my...

    I'm getting disillusioned

    @Gregory Childers I saw that thread and it was (and is)... a mess. I feel like there were a few folks who pushed back against you or that had differing viewpoints who actually seemed to be interested in a conversation but it mostly consisted of you getting shouted down. Ridiculous.

    Multiple CertMaster accounts?

    Alright, so... I changed the email I use to access the CompTIA SSO to my university email address. But now when I try to access my CertMaster materials when logged in through SSO, I get "There was an error logging you in." Then when trying to just log directly into learn.comptia.org with my new...

    Multiple CertMaster accounts?

    Cool, I'll give that a try and report back on how it worked. Thanks!

    Multiple CertMaster accounts?

    Asking this as a student, rather than as an instructor... I have a CertMaster account under my personal e-mail address, where I access my CertMaster CE and TTT/Instructor Guide materials. I'm also starting a bachelor's program which uses CertMaster, and I just received an email to my university...

    Hypothetical question re: beta vs. soon-retiring exams

    Yeah, earning CEUs by other (less expensive) means is the way to go if at all possible.

    Hypothetical question re: beta vs. soon-retiring exams

    Let's say someone takes a beta exam in January. They then take the soon-to-be retired version of the same exam in March before they even get the result of the beta in May. What are the possible scenarios? Does anyone know for sure? (It's not entirely hypothetical. Someone on reddit said they're...

    I still waiting for my Linux+, DATA+, Project+ Vouchers

    I was just coming here to see about the Linux+ vouchers as well. I'm glad it's not just me! People have side-hustles! 😄 When I first joined CIN, my primary job was teaching CompTIA certs in the classroom. Since then, I've moved onto an engineering position with Cisco as my primary gig, but I...
