Good stuff Dion is the man!
Hoping to pass my exam this Friday
I'm working on network plus maybe a week busy with it
I passed the CompTia A+ and Network + over 25 years ago. Just enrolled in WGU for a degree IT and studying for CompTIA exams in 2024. Being 60 years old, it is ruff but hanging in there.
Studying for the Network+ this week.
That’s awesome! It’s a great certification.
Studying for Network + and should be ready to test the first week of September. Using Dion Training and Professor Messer.
@@G_Body_Queen How did you do on the exam?
@@RoyalDog214 because of my location and internet service, I had to reschedule. My test is set for 17 Nov. I’ll let you know how it goes.
Was there a reason why you wanted to keep the Network+? I mean if you are experienced, i really see no value in an entry-level certification that was meant for gaining foundational knowledge. Most compita certs are for people just starting out or to fill in gaps of foundational knowledge and concepts that maybe missing before achieving more advanced associate and professional level Certifications.
Good question! So I originally took it the first time when I didn't have any experience. The second time I took it after I had a CCNA. When I took it the second time I had not been in a testing center in quiet a while and I was set to take my CCNP Switch exam a few weeks later. The testing center I was going to was new and I wanted to get familiar with the environment and there check in process. I personally do not like surprises so I felt like if I can go in and take an exam like Network+ and pass it, it will give me a boost of confidence as well as to familiarize myself with the environment. Lastly it kind of annoyed me that I had both an active A+ and Security+ and not a Network+.
I know that someone may fine my justification of this silly (and I completely understand) but at the time I felt that it was the best choice for me in helping me pass my CCNP Switch.
@@ITLumberjack oh ok that makes sense. Not sure if you knew about this but according to CompTIA any higher certifications you obtained or renews would automatically renew your A+ and Network+. So if you gotten the Security+ recently that should of had renewed the Network+. Also when did they get rid of the online testing? According to CompTIA they still do online proctor exams. I plan on sitting for both my Network+ and RHCSA this year. I wok with RHEL in my current role now that I have some experience under my belt.
@@eman0828 I did know about the renewals if you take higher certification. I took the Network+ in 2013 and I didn't take another CompTIA test until 2020 or 2021 so my Network+ lapsed. I probably could have submitted my CCENT and CCNA in for CEs for renewal but I didnt.
As for online vs in person, I prefer in person. I have had some not so plesant experiences with online exams thru Pearson. Also at my current job, the Pearson testing center is only a few minutes away so its pretty easy for me to get over there and take an exam.
Good luck on your Network+ and RHCSA! RHEL and Linux has always fascinated me. I use Linux on a few hobby project but its something I haven't run into much of it I'm my career.
You got it!
