Hi everyone,

For those students that got the Sec+ this year, with version 501 do you think is it worth taking a new test and have it 'upgraded' to 601? Or it's better to just get the C.E point and get a renew in a couple of years?

Thank you all for your attention,

Hi Wendell, to me personally, I would go with the CE credit towards updating the cert. If students just took the exam this year, they are good to go. On top of that, it would be a cost saving to work towards CE instead of having to pay for another exam voucher.
