How to Get a CompTIA Certification

Let’s take a trip back in time. The year is 2000, and I just logged on to manage my first Windows NT 4.0 server. Things like plug and play and active directory are nowhere to be found. If you wanted a USB device, you needed to install drivers. This seems so long ago.

Fast forward to today, 2019, and I’m learning Linux. You may ask why, when I am a network engineer. Well the answer is simple! Linux plays a major role in every IT infrastructure. From backend to front-end devices, to the cloud and even in the networking tools that I use. Linux is all around us!

So, over the past two months I have partnered with CompTIA to earn the CompTIA Linux+ (XK0-004) certification. With so many changes, in this industry, you need to embrace a mindset of continuous learning and adapting. This is why it was so important to me to partner with CompTIA and earn Linux+. It allowed me to not only improve my skills, but also to encourage others to adapt.

In this post I'll help you learn how to get a CompTIA certification and answer some questions that you may have:
How can I get CompTIA Linux+ certified?
How can I study for CompTIA Linux+?
How difficult was the CompTIA Linux+ exam?

Tech Industry Takes the Lead in Redefining Work

One common theme during the pandemic has been an acceleration in the changes taking place at work. Whether it is cloud adoption, remote working or general workforce practices, the rapid response to restrictions has driven new thinking about long-term operations. Many tech firms have been out in front when it comes to redefining how work gets done. Examples include: Major companies such as Twitter, Facebook, Google and Microsoft extending remote work policies until the end of the year or indefinitely. Tech firms such as Zoom, Uber, Snap and Pinterest joining a coalition aimed at improving conditions for working parents. Salesforce launching work.com as a resource to help businesses reopen safely. Most businesses realize that digital transformation is only partially about the technology. The real key to transformation is changing workflow and culture. Technology tools open up new possibilities, but the full potential is not realized if the processes and behavior stay the same. No one kn

Questions a+ certification

As always, CompTIA exams like to really test how well you follow instructions. Read the questions slowly and thoroughly. Then read the question again. I found myself flustered with a very simple question. Here’s what happened: On the 902 exam, one of the interactive questions asked to configure a new disk while accounting for future redundancy. Simple enough! So I went to initialize it and set the partitions as requested. There was a second disk available. I tried to configure a mirrored array. CompTIA simulations are very limited and won’t let you really click on a wrong answer. I couldn’t configure a mirrored array and got frustrated. I flagged the question for later to avoid wasting time. At last I returned with forty minutes left to answer. Suddenly, my error come apparent. They asked me to configure the disk for future redundancy, not redundancy right now. I set it to a dynamic disk and called it a day. This is the kind of stuff they love to throw at you in a CompTIA exam. A few
