[Jeremiah Minner]

2022: CTT, A+, ITF, Server, and Linux.

On the plate for 2023: Cloud, Cloud Essentials, Project, and Data. That will complete the possible CompTIA certs unless something gets added (2021 included Net, Sec, CySA, PenTest, and CASP).

 

[Rae W]

In 2022...
A+ 1101/1102

In 2023, will definitely sit...
- for work: CCNA R/S
- for school: PenTest+, CySA+ (if I didn't pass the beta), ITIL Foundation, (ISC)² CCSP, (ISC)² SSCP
- for fun: Data+, Linux+

In 2023, might sit for...
- for work: CMNA
- for fun: LPIC-1, LPIC-2

That is an amazing list, kudos. 2023 will be busy for you, which I know you welcome.

I get bored if I'm not constantly challenging myself. Plus, I've always had a bad case of imposter syndrome so it helps my psyche every time I pass a new exam.

 

[Hod Berman]

In 2023, I am going for:

PenTest+
Data+
more MS Azure certs
more Adobe certs
LFSA
and a few others

2022:

Server+
CASP+
another one

2021:
passed over 20 certs


besides certs, getting my web skills back on track
and more Labs!

 

[Rick Butler]

If time permits, I also intend to take CCIE.

Not many go after that one - and I've only met three in my career. Go get it, mate.

Thanks for the support!

 

[Jill West]

Happy New Year CIN! Hope everyone has a good and successful 2023!

I got too many (16) certifications in 2022.
CompTIA: ITF+, Cloud Essentials+, A+, Data+, Project+, Linux+, PenTest+, CySA+ (maybe, took the beta)
Microsoft: AZ-900, AI-900, DP-900, PL-900, SC-900
(ISC)2: Certified in Cybersecurity (CC), SSCP
Scrum.org: PSM I, PSPO I

For 2023, my goals are:
CompTIA: Complete earning all active certs (Net+, Cloud+, Server+, CASP+)
(ISC)2: CISSP, CCSP (+ stretch goal: CAP/CGRC)
AWS: Security Specialty
Microsoft: SC-200, SC-100
And maybe PSM II, PSPO II, and/or a PMI cert as stretch goals

Studying for AWS Sec now, prepping for a series with ITProTV later this year. Have you taken any of the other AWS Specialty certs?

 

[Jill West]

I haven't taken any AWS certs at all. Amazon was offering a 50% off a specialty cert thing a few months back that I signed up for. I have until March I think to take it. It'll be a new experience for me.

Be ready for some fairly long questions with a lot of detail, lol. Good luck!

 

[Abby N Krane]

In 2023, I am going for:
- CTT+ -> already passed the exam, need to submit practical teaching video(s)
- AZ-900 -> I had OnVue issues when I took it previously and exam was voided, I got so mad I keep rescheduling it. I need to just get it out of the way so it isn't lingering.
- Project+
- SCRUMstudy Scrum Agile Master
- renew ITIL 4 since it is no longer a lifetime cert
- maybe Data+
- maybe DevOps Leader from DevOps Institute
- maybe DevOps Continuous Testing from DevOps Institute
