    Cloud Essentials+ retires on September 25, 2025

    Anyone remember the long-retired Mobility+ certification back in the days of BlackBerry and the rise of Exchange ActiveSync?

    Pearsonvue test center? You got one?

    Yes - a number of our campuses run a Pearson VUE testing center. They have a dedicated test center administrator, and yes, we are paid for hosting and administering exams (otherwise we wouldn't do it).

    Unused servers

    In a physical lab, provisioning a bare metal server (e.g., with Proxmox) and configuring iDRAC or iLO is a valuable skill for IT students. If, however, your students could benefit from building some upper body strength, I suggest: https://www.cloudfest.com/world-server-throwing-championship

    Xpert Series - DataX and CloudNetX

    Ditto here - more hybrid cloud-specific design and technology topics for me too that I didn't notice on Network+ or Cloud+ (hence the theme I approached the CloudNetX TTT with).

    Ah - security for the 'non-carpeted IT' :)

    Partner Summit 2025??

    Even an online Summit could work - I've been to several large online tech conferences during the pandemic and they were just as fun and almost as engaging as the in-person events.

    CIN TTT Series: A+ Core 1 220-1201

    Registered! Just kidding... I have other obligations and can't make this one ;-)

    Ohhh... another new cert! Autocode+

    It seems like a certification geared towards introductory coding for configuration management (CM) automation and orchestration (e.g., Kubernetes and similar technologies in the space). While these topics have formed the crutch of loosely-defined devops/SRE roles these past 5 years, that space...

    Pearsonvue

    According to Network+, the first troubleshooting step in this situation is to verify whether your network adapter is properly connected to the network cable and that there is a link light present :)

    CloudNetX not showing up in my list of certifications

    Mine shows up in the exam history page (date taken + pass grade), but not in the list of certifications. If yours is the same, it's likely just a website issue.

    Is DOGE a threat to national security, or at the very least, Americans' PII?

    I follow Krebs on Security (excellent), and this was recently posted: https://krebsonsecurity.com/2025/02/teen-on-musks-doge-team-graduated-from-the-com/ There are too many red flags around this whole topic to mention in a single post here. It's scary to say the least.

    Printed courseware is gone, but what about the PDFs?

    1 point for me, mainly because I've never heard of 'vynil' records ;)

    Printed courseware is gone, but what about the PDFs?

    100% agree with all of this! First and foremost should be teaching a skill or topic area, with an end goal of having students feel confident in their practical abilities in that skill or topic area. It's a bad thing if people skip that and just focus on getting certified (remember the days of...

    Printed courseware is gone, but what about the PDFs?

    Obviously, I had to like this post! :) I wholeheartedly agree with everything mentioned in this thread - we choose courseware/textbooks at our college based on content and value. As a result, most of the courses that have an associated CompTIA certification attached to them use materials from...
