    Thanks again! Nope - not more enticing because it was that deal. :D I just couldn't resist even if you only really save 10-12 bucks and might be retired soon.

    I used to work in a hospital but I wanted to get certified instead of letting only my experience speak - the double whammy skill credibility! icon_cheers.gif

    Only 7 chapters so it shouldn't be that bad...I think?! icon_cool.gif

    We'll see in about 4.5 hours! icon_cool.gif

    Honestly, most of the material is a review of stuff I did at work. I helped a hospital with enterprise migration as a project lead then landed a full-time position there doing network/desktop. While there, I was in charge and part of many lean and transformative projects (ie. wireless ap, thin clients/virtualization).

    Is the cert lifetime or do you need to re certify every 3 years?

    Lifetime. The way I see it, the healthcare niche is just going to grow so having this in your back pocket - especially for 98 bucks - isn't a bad deal at all. Plus, it helps me prove to potential employers that my experience matches my skill set/knowledge-base.

    Congrats. I took HIT about a year, or two. I thought it was pretty basic, but decent review of terminology and info from when I worked for an health insurance company.

    Thanks! Yup - I felt it gave me a good review of my experience at a hospital which is what I wanted to validate with this cert.

    This exam was kind of like part A+, part N+, part Sec+, and part compliance. I thought it was a pretty decent overview of the typical work environment in a hospital. No curveballs, pretty straightforward.

    I'm glad they didn't discontinue it like they were planning on doing. I think it still serves a purpose.
