Comptia Exams

Speaking of over-selling, this is straight from CompTIA's marketing blurb about Project+.


Uh, no. Passing Project+ or any other exam does not give hands-on experience, or the equiv thereof. It may test for it...

I agree. That statement is not quite right.

The statement for recommended experience for Project+ is good though, and I quote:
"At least 12 months of cumulative project management experience or equivalent education"

This, I don't necessarily stand behind. There's also the matter of training and certification vendors over-selling these tracks as the golden path to better income.

I will wholeheartedly agree that vendors go overboard overselling tracks. People should be independently evaluated so that their training aligns with their needs.

That being said, I've seen countless students start with CySA+ and PenTest+ with zero of the recommended prerequisites.

Hello Tess yes must experience like I have 10 years A+ wrote the first one windows 3.1 and dos . But spent 10 years in Office Automation. With out experience you wont get a high salary.
ON another note I am the guy From Johannesburg South Africa in the Last Chat you mentioned you may know some one who could help with CYSA+ .
I used the Certmaster Practice waste of time in my case. Did nothing for my prep.
I would be grateful to see where I am going wrong.
Look forward to hearing from you, When Pass CYSA will help out to get the experience.

Recently the latest comptia Exams are testing on programming languages reading the output of a code or scripts in few programming languages. In official book or lab we don't have any info about it. For IT students it's easy for them to understand. But for non IT students even corporate people for example accounting or management people is quite hard for them to take up without knowing basic programming. We as trainer also having hard time explain to them when they ask why all this not in book but is tested in exam?

Is future comptia course going to be for IT students only?

My suggestion is add in a module to teach basic programming in our modules. Non IT Students will be able to answer the questions tested in exam.

The output from tools or OS is easy for students bcos they practice in lab and they have it in official book.

Programming languages?

I usually teach programming languages using heavy metal.
It works well...
