    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.

    Congratulation Gregory, I have schedule my Tech+ exam for Saturday 4 January, 2025. Good you taken it.
     
    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.
     
    • Wow
    Reactions: precious
    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.

    But CompTIA have content develop already. 1736024868943.png
     
    But CompTIA have content develop already.
    That has no bearing on my previous statement. Clients are concerned.

    For example, DataX training does not offer hard copy courseware or downloadable PDFs. They provide online courseware.

    And no one knows what the new ownership group intends to do in the future.

    I passed the test yesterday. It was my first Comptia Test. I studied the Comptia Study. I found the actual test to be a little trickier than the practice questions. It seemed like some of the questions could have two correct answers, and you had to pick the best one. I'm a High CS and Cybersecurity teacher. Now, my challenge is to get high school students to pass the exam by the end of the semester. I had 60 minutes to answer 60 questions.
