Re: Schools and certs...
In all honesty I see certain certs losing value over time while other will retain their value. The whole IT college or IT school threads is almost as irritating to me as the whole "which cert makes the most money" threads. I really wish that people would sit back a little bit and think about IT as a career instead of a… -
Re: WGU Complete!
Hey all thanks for the kudos and compliments it's much appreciated. To answer the above question I did transfer in a lot, I transferred in my previous Bachelor of Arts in History from a B&M college and I also transferred in CompTIA A+, Net+, Sec+, Server + and a CIW cert. I also had taken a few courses towards an A.A.S… -
Re: Security Certs
1. A lot of certifications currently (or will) require "maintenance credits" to maintain the certification. These are typically called CPEs. You get them from doing security related learning, like reading books, writing books, writing articles, going to conferences, going to chapter meetings, watching web casts. You also… -
Re: IT Job with no IT degree?
Short answer - Yes it can be done. The company will determine a lot however. Some companies require a CS or IT Degree on the other side of the spectrum some require nothing. Then you have everyone else inbetween. Landing a certification or two would be a great way to get into the IT world. You have your PMP so you could… -
Re: Linux vs. Windows
To get a linux/unix job to do that kind of setup, usually a minimum of 5+ years experience is needed. Actually, it's usually 10+ yrs of experience to be trusted in setting up a real unix production environment. Also, the IT backbone of a respectful company shouldn't be a customized solution done by 20something because it's… -
Re: Passed
Congrats on the new Cert and a great score! The more that I read, ponder, and observe, the more I believe that CompTIA has a better idea of how to test a person for IT security issues than people give them credit for. Network problems, security or otherwise, are often simple but may be located/hidden in a very unlikely… -
Re: CCNA/CCNP - Is it possible to self Study?
No, no one will care how you obtain the certificate -- but they will care that you actually know the material that you were certified on. Passing the exam is 100% achievable without attending a class, but be sure to get every exposure to the technology that you can. One of the nice things about the classes is that they… -
Re: Tough time studying for Network+
Here is a way I've found to be pretty solid. First go here http://www.comptia.org/certification/Network/objectives.aspx?sent=1 Download these official objectives from CompTIA. This will give you a very clear idea on what you will be tested on. Make sure you have a good understanding of all the material listed. If not read… -
Re: Passed LPI 102! My views
Thank you Varelg. A big thank you for pointing out to me that I had been studying outdated material. I probably would have failed if I kept studying the Nutshell book. The main problem I found when preparing was lack of practice questions. There isn't much online and what I found were on the old syllabus. Anyway I did… -
Re: New to certifications, quick question
To be perfectly blunt on some specifics, you simply don't take 681 and 682. I think 70-680 is a great starting point, especially if you're going for desktop support or helpdesk type roles. If you're ready to break more into servers or are already working with servers, you might consider 70-640 instead. Each of the 70-64x…
