I got access to a course that was released last year "a+ cyber" that looks like a great review of material for refreshing students and supporting Security+, CYSA and PenTest+. It even has a unit devoted to scripting. I like what I see but I'm curious if anyone has any experience with the course and how it worked out for you.
Anyone Using "a+ cyber?"

Hi Tess, my CompTIA rep gave me access to it on the training platform.
Something I'd like to do, after getting through the pile of other certs I want to do...
Oh no.
They're pulling the same mistake Apple made in the 1990s: making too large a variety of different products, confusing everybody as to which to pick or use. Because, is "A+ Cyber" A+ and Sec+? No? So do I need A+, Sec+ and A+Cyber? Or just A+Cyber?! It's messy.
EDIT:
Holy moley, five hundred bucks for something I have no idea what it is or does? And the industry also doesn't know it yet? No thanks. I'm really not a fan of what they're pulling here.
