Training and Tutoring Process Logging

A
Hello everyone,
I am new here. I am Ayomide Oluwaga, Head Coach and CIO at Techstartersafrica and I successfully trained 100+ Cybersecurity professionals last year alone.

I will be training 30 students from the 29th and would be documenting the processes I use in making these individuals into professionals. I feel, this process might be useful for a fellow instructor in here. You can choose to follow me to see how I do it or constructively criticise it to make ot better. I would be updating daily on Linkedin & Instagram. (Just make a search for my name or click Ayomide Oluwaga)

I look forward to bringing value into the community

Planning for automatic renewal of certifications achieved

Ednei P. de Melo
Hello everyone, everything good?

I have CompTIA A+, Network+ and Security+ certifications and in view of the growing number of certifications (as I intend to obtain more), I need to carry out planning to minimize costs and efforts for future renewals. For example, as soon as I took Security+, A+ and Network+ were automatically renewed. I also intend to obtain Linux+ and Cloud+ certifications, but I saw on the official page that the latter only has A+, Network+ and Linux+ certifications, leaving Security+ out. However, I also learned that non-CompTIA certifications can also be used to earn CE credits to renew equivalent CompTIA certifications (as I have AWS Certified Solutions Architect Associate and Cisco CCNA and CyberOps).

In short, I intend to do the following:
  • Renew A+, Linux+ (which I'm still going to take) and Network+, by submitting to the Cloud+ exam;
  • Renew Security+, through Cisco CCNA CyberOps renewal (which I took almost 1 year after Security+).
If you can give me more tips and recommendations I would appreciate it! &;-D

With Retirement Losing Certifications

In today's emails I received a bunch of them that were from CompTIA, each saying the same thing but identifying different certifications I hold:

Dear Steven Linthicum,

This is a friendly reminder that your CompTIA CySA+ ce certification will expire on Apr 21, 2026. While that is still a couple years away, it is important to think about how you might renew your certification so that you have ample time to prepare.

(ISC)2 has what they call "emeritus" status. I paid $375 and I keep the CISSP cert but you must be "retired".

But I thought you had different options to renew for CompTIA? So you can either identify continuing education opportunities, hit the number of credits you need to renew your cert, pay the fee, and you're good to go. Or, you could do a beta test, which is cheaper, and if you pass, you get to renew. Or, you can dp the certmaster labs for that certification and pay the fee to recertify, or you could do the certification above that, which would automatically review all the certifications in that pathway that fall under it.

I thought those were different ways. I don't know a ton about ISC2, but I thought we had to maintain the yearly fees and the continuing ed in order to maintain certifications obtained through ISC2. But I'm newer to both organizations, so I'm not sure. I'd be interested to hear what other people know about renewing.

Thoughts?
