I'm helping a client develop some training materials for the Tech+ course, so I took and passed the exam to see what the questions would be like.

I only had 60 questions, with no PBQs. It was the shortest CompTIA certification exam I've taken in 25 years. Mostly, it consisted of understanding the vocabulary terms and being able to pick information from an example. In my opinion, it was much easier than the previous IT Fundamentals+ certification that preceded it.

It provides the learning with very basic digital literacy but the exam is very surface-oriented. It does not go deep on any topic at all.

Congrats+.......Thanks for sharing your experience!........Are you finding that clients are looking for more specialized training materials as the exams get more streamlined?
I am finding that more clients are developing their own specialized training materials due to the uncertainties of the upcoming CompTIA acquisition.

Can you share more about how these uncertainties are influencing their decisions to create specialized training materials?
Generally speaking, the clients are uncertain what training and content offerings will be available from CompTIA once the acquisition is final. The new owners will operate CompTIA as a for-profit organization, so some offerings may be discontinued while new offerings may become available. Clients want to know they have reliable content, and one way to do that is to produce your own.
