gratz man!

I have a few questions for security+
Please if someone can help me here.


Security+ = 2 exams?
SY0-201, JK0-015 ?

I read members pay less for the exams, members are comptia certified? Or is some other membership?

Is it better to buy a voucher or pay directly for the exam? How much usually vouchers save you?


I would be very grateful if someone could help me with this.
Thank you for your time.

Nope, only 1 exam. It is an either or, and they are the same test. The JK0 is part of the J2C program. It is a program where your school can pay something like $800 a year, and then get cheap vouchers. So if you are going somewhere that can get you one of these vouchers, you are going to save some money. I forget the price for the discounted voucher, something like $150 or $160.

Thank you very much.
I was getting worried that it was two exams. Not because the material, but of the costs.
40$ discount sounds very good to me.
Thank you.

The vouchers are good for 12 months from the date of purchase.

From the E2C factbook. So check with your school and see if they are a memeber. Being a member of E2C doesn't make them a memeber of CompTIA. (That is different, and I don't believe as good of a deal)

You think NYC and Boston are great areas for IT, you should see how DC is. I live just outside of DC, and there are so many IT jobs its not even funny. We have license plates that say the .com capital

My shop is a large one...the organization is not necessarily large, but the IT shop definitely is. I do recognize that a lot of organizations want a JOAT, and that's why I'm going into IT management....

I do not disagree with you and I was not aware of your background (you probably said it in another thread that I didn't read OR maybe I glanced over it when you did....if you did mention it, my apologies).

There is still demand for just networking folks, especially in New England..."Bah-stahn" in particular. Of course that CCENT is gonna need to turn into a CCNA and perhaps a CCNP at some point, but Boston is still great for IT, hands down! (Though I'm by a better place, NYC, but I do know Boston is nice for IT work, but I hate the cold....bad enough in Jersey....it's worst in NE!).

I do like your plan though and it sounds like you do have one. You should have no problem doing what you have/need to do.

Yes I am well aware that the Department of Motor Vehicles, (D[C]M[D]V[A]-area) is quite bountiful with IT jobs...high paying ones too....

DC is certainly an option to consider, I'll say that much.
