    Palo Alto Networks Academy Cybersecurity Accreditation (PACA) Exam v 1.0

    If you got the ACE or even the CNSE, go find this in Palo
    Alto Networks Customer Learning Center and become a PACA! icon_cool.gif

    That's interesting. Thanks. Will have a look at it after completing ACE.
    Have you cleared the exam? Know a place where i can get demo VM?

    Yeah, I cleared it. It's pretty straight-forward (super easy) and it has some repeat questions from the ACE exam. No to the demo; if you find one, lemme know!

    Has anyone done the Adtran certs? I am actually thinking of buying some switches from them, if there certs provide technical knowledge (and not just sales info) I would like to take a look.

    I did the Adtran ASTA/Internetworking as a refresher, and it was actually pretty good for a completely free online course. It was mostly technical, kind of like a miniature Network+ exam.

    $99 CompTIA Cloud+, Server+ and Project+ exams by taking it online with ProctorU. https://proctoru.com/portal/comptia

    Cheaper and at home...heck yeah!

    *edit* I decided to take all three exams after thinking about it. Too good of a deal to pass up.

    Btw, they tack on another 5 bucks if you want to take the exam sooner.

    $99 for a $269 certification at home instead of at a testing center? How the hell did they work that out?

    I haven't done the proctorU thing, but that big of a discount...Are we sure they're not charging $99 to proctor you at home while you take a $269 test that you paid for?

    Seems like simple business math to me. Online based anything, overhead speaking, is lots cheaper than brick and morter anything.

    And yes, it is $99 for those exams. Not 99 plus 269.

    It would seem that way, but the testing centers make barely anything doing this. Very little per test. The centers that I've been to (and the one my school runs) say that they lose money with what they get paid by the test providers. IE most of the money goes to CompTIA not the test center.

    I don't know if this has already been posted or not but this site sent me an email so I decided to check it out and it seems pretty legit. I made an account and they have launched or are launching free online training courses from things such as the CCNA, PMP, Sharepoint and numerous other useful IT related certifications.

    Feel free to check it out, and sorry if it has been posted already!

    zxbane, this could be an amazing resource. It looks legit so far but I have yet to sign up. Has anyone else used the site? I am curious about the validity and quality of their content.

    @Novovictus...I have and have watched a little bit of a couple of videos on Ethical Hacking. They seem to know what they're talking about but maybe one of the Cyber-Ninjas here can take a look and see what they think.
