I think you cant have a beta exam for an exam that isn't new or the first version - beta exams are normally for exams that are completely new in the market.

so a regular TTT will suffice

Thanks.

Thank you for the explanation

Hello CINers

Good to say I found out time to take both Competency Assessment and passed on first attempt - completed the learning path via the courseware which will suffice for knowledge acquisition

had issue completing the learning path , for some persons that dont see some items load or with the new courseware update cant get up to 100% completion, please do try a different browser. switched from chrome to edge and it worked for me - loaded all items and finished learning in Dec.

Though this isnt a credly badge based achievement- it validates skills in AI basics and prompting. comes with a sharable and verifiable cert/link + this competency doesn't expire( I guess it should)

Above are my thoughts -

Big thanks to @Stephen Schneiter @Nick Pierce #1 for putting this together.

Awesome- registered

Let me start by saying that I think this is an absolutely terrible question. With that said, the contacts and calendars would only sync through Microsoft Outlook, and not through just any old 'corporate communication software.'

The keyword in this question is 'communication software.' While the calendar is commonly supported, it is not the primary expected sync item for a baseline Exchange setup.

This question is wrongly stated or is wrongly answered.
My logic is as follows:
With Microsoft Exchange on a corporate smartphone, the user can expect to sync:
- Email
- Contacts
- Calendar
So the answers should be text boxes to select 3 options.
Texts (SMS) do not sync through Microsoft Exchange.
So the correct synced items are Email, Contacts, and Calendar.

What do you think?

Email
I will answer only this question because i was told that posting question on the platform is against our rule

Where can I get instructor resources for tech+? What is the recommended duration for instructor-led training?

BrianFord · Monday at 4:44 PM

Throughout the CompTIA course and certification offerings, there is a common thread: that people using computing need three things. Those three things are:

access to data,
the ability to send email, and
the ability to receive email.

We cover this in Network+, Security+, and Cloud+. I believe it is in Tech+. That's the answer I would have chosen.

BrianFord · Monday at 4:37 PM

The entire cost of a private cloud is borne by the organization that uses it. I would suggest that "does not have capital" rules out Private Cloud as a choice. The statement that "they do not want to share resources" would only rule out the Community cloud. Any organization that uses the cloud (with any CSP) would start with a VPC (Virtual Private Cloud) that meets its implementation requirements.

I think this question is wrong! I think the right answer is Private Cloud,

Why:
- They **don’t want to share resources** with other organizations → this rules out **public** and **community** clouds.
- They **don’t have the capital** to build infrastructure or hire engineers → a **hosted private cloud** from a provider fits perfectly.
- Strict access control is **not** a concern, so they don’t need the complexity of a hybrid setup.

A **private cloud hosted by a cloud provider** gives them dedicated resources without the cost of building or managing the infrastructure themselves.
What do you think?

A great way to start the new year, it does sound interesting and an opportunity to learn something new.

Thanks to @Stephen Schneiter, and the CIN team.
