    PASSED my CompTIA DataX exam!

    I had DataX scheduled for today, the last day before the voucher expired. When I went to sign in, it seemed that I had registered for 7AM and not 7PM, so I was marked as a "No Show" for the exam.

    Students Keep Asking for Social Media Postings

    The most disturbing thing is that this is only making the talent pipeline worse. Systems will be run by LLMs with little to no human intervention. When something breaks, we're all screwed.

    What happened with the Tech Trainer options that were discussed in 2023?

    In the last few years, I haven't seen anything from CompTIA that appears to be a comprehensive strategy at all. If I were running things, I would focus on improving the brand of the current suite of certifications, not adding continuing ed courses that you can get anywhere for a fraction of...

    What happened with the Tech Trainer options that were discussed in 2023?

    It wasn't going to be a requirement. The CTT+ wasn't a requirement. They were training courses for new trainers to learn how to be a trainer.

    Students Keep Asking for Social Media Postings

    I read it on Reddit all the time. They want to watch some prerecorded videos like those from Messer or Dion at 1.5X speed and take a battery of practice exams so they can put another cert on their resume for a job that they will never get.

    Compcert Courses -- Where's The Beef

    Like the EC-Council CEH. Without the DoD, that certification and certification body would dry up.

    What happened with the Tech Trainer options that were discussed in 2023?

    What happened with the Tech Trainer options that were discussed in 2023? Did they disappear with the new ownership group of the for-profit CompTIA?

    Students Keep Asking for Social Media Postings

    The best you can do it make it accessible. They have the responsibility to stay engaged. They have to meet you halfway. As the saying goes, "you can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink."

    Compcert Courses -- Where's The Beef

    Some vendors, such as OffSec, offer lab-based exams only. No MCQs anywhere in their exams.

    Three CompTIA Certification's in the Top 10 of Robert Half 2026 Salary Guide

    The last time I used Robert Half was in the 1990s. I had forgotten about them completely.

    Compcert Courses -- Where's The Beef

    There are newbies on Reddit who are passing exams with zero experience by watching Messer's and Dion's videos while using Quizlet to study definitions and acronyms. Over the years, the exams have become far too easy. I didn't have a single subnetting question on the most recent version of...

    Three CompTIA Certification's in the Top 10 of Robert Half 2026 Salary Guide

    I was under the impression that Robert Half is where entry-level tech people go between jobs.

    Compcert Courses -- Where's The Beef

    Demand for CompTIA certs has been limited to A+, Net+, Sec+, and Cloud+. A few people take CySA+, PenTest+, SecurityX, and Project+, but employers don't ask for those certs on job listings. The rest of their certs are low demand from students and no demand from employers. The CompCerts will...

    Three CompTIA Certification's in the Top 10 of Robert Half 2026 Salary Guide

    They listed them under "Hottest certifications," I stand by my earlier post. CISSP is the second most requested cert behind Security+.

    Three CompTIA Certification's in the Top 10 of Robert Half 2026 Salary Guide

    I find the list to be highly suspect because it includes the Certified Data Professional (CDP), but doesn't include the CISSP, CISM, or CCIE. A+ won't get you a higher salary. It's a minimum requirement for entry-level jobs.

    Vouchers

    I have long believed that CompTIA should add one more requirement for the free vouchers. People should actually contribute to the CIN community. Not just sign up, never post, and then demand free vouchers.
