Ctp+

It seems that Comptia has partnered with the Certification Partners to create/re-imagine the CTP+ certification. Because of overlapping content, I imagine the Convergence+ cert will go away...

Cool! I figured this is where they would be going with most of their less known certifications.

Good to see CompTIA partnered up. I looked on the CompTIA site about this
CTP+ Certified | Powered by Certification Partners
The strangest thing I found was that at the bottom right it limks you to CIW. I'm glad to see that as it gives CIW more visibility and our CIW certs a little more value.
Does anyone think CompTIA may partner up with CIW in the future?

Probably. I also think the "storage plus" is going to be the SCSP. I think comptia is going to eventually become the defacto vendor neutral certification organization (besides security like SANS, etc).

Since it's about storage then do some reading here Storage Certifications - TechExams.net IT Certification Forums

Their not grandfathering in current Convergence+ or CTP holders into the new program. Their basically invalidating those current certs by creating the CTP+.

Comptia has really been up to some shenanigans, lately!

I understand some of their reasoning, but I refuse to pursue any otheir certifications after the Project+.

I don't trust them any longer.

Where can i get some books or guides to study for this exam?

I checked ebay and amazon but there is nothing there.

At one time there was a CTP manual put out before they combined with CompTIA but it seems to have disappeared. I did find this bit of information though Convergence+ Becomes CTP+ | Tom Carpenter's Blog. He was the one who wrote the Convergence+ book from McGraw Hill.

Oh and being a current Convergence+ holder I call shenanigans

can we compare CTP+ with another similar certification?

CTP+ would be to ccna voice what net+ is to ccent?

The comparison to the material is close. But TYPICALLY Cisco's certifications are usually held in higher regard.
