Thank you! Yes, it's hard but a must!

Hey, sorry for the late response. The Security + is just one exam.

Why?

how so? Please expand

They are just trolling lol.

Ok

100% I’ve done both, online and in person. My online education was much better.

@growwithme7451 We basically had to do it all on our own anyways cause we didn't have great professors. What was the differentiator was access to clubs, internships, and networking events. The name of the university plays a part as well with reputation. But, tuition is way too high at brick and mortars for those to be the only differentiator.

@@emilyau8023it truly depends on the institution. Most universities carry regional accreditation so unless it’s a big big name school nobody will really know the university outside of that local area. This is something that I experienced moving from STL to South Georgia. For me, as an adult, I’ve done a good job networking and believe that there are ways around that with apps like meetup and linked in. Again, this is my personal preference based on what I’ve experienced I’m sure that ppl will disagree.

@growwithme7451 yah, that's why it's so important to consider the benefits to cons. My university had a high employment rate after graduating and is a well-known school, so it definitely gave more advantages if a person can afford it. I wouldn't choose a no-name school for expensive tuition with a low employment rate.

@@emilyau8023agreed!

Consider doing it in steps. . . take a couple free courses somewhere to build up your confidence and see how it might fit into your schedule. If you feel you need a refresher course on the high school or lower courses, u.s. career institute and penn foster are popular, though of course, many community colleges offer options as well - unfortunately, it's difficult to find these kinds of courses online with a CC or at least those don't require physically attending the school's orientation. . . and of course, there's self study or non transcript options out there, but they can still help you to pass placement tests. Anyway, consider working towards a certificate or an associate degree. Some courses may transfer, especially the more related it is to your chosen major. It's practical to make it so each step of the way you can earn a little something whether you stop or continue, of course, they each have their own expenses but it might save you $ in the long run... and it could help secure more funding as you establish you're a serious student than being a high risk investment. Also, some schools will try to convert life/work/volunteer experiences into elective credit, so look into that as well. There are a lot of options if you want to learn to code - virtually a group catering to every demographic, every background, at every level. Some as short as a weekend boot camps and others considerably longer, but for the most part it's largely geared to earn you professional certificates recognizing your competency in a programming language. They might help out with other things too. At the starting level, it's not that difficult to find a free program to familiarize you with the basics but competition increases with each level. There are a handful of apprenticeship programs, largely in trade fields but one semi-related path might be in agricultural business. Which has one of the better apprenticeship programs with Zurich North America, a farming insurance company. One school in their program off the top of my head would be northeast iowa community college, I believe it's an online associate and if accepted to apprenticeship, they'll cover the bulk of tuition for the associate. But they are partnered with other schools and you might check with the department of labor (or it's equivalent, if you're not in the states) about other apprenticeship programs. You can also check in with your local unemployment office or vocational rehab and see what programs they have available. Sometimes they'll pay a portion of your tuition as well. Then there's a wide variety of awards, grants, scholarships and programs for special interest groups (age, sexuality, gender, ethnicity, culture, religion, disabilities, etc). If you're close to 60. It might be worth it to wait but do research your options. There's more than a few schools that reduce tuition or offer free career courses for those 60 and older returning to school.

I couldn't have said it better.

I think you should look into the ROI on communication degrees with it not just focused on online education. If it's just for fun, wish you luck.

The cysa and pentest +

Yeah, I ran into this same issue with some of the certs. They are not easy at all. I often tell people 1 cert is equivalent to 3 or 4 classes jammed into one. Just know that when you finish, it'll show employers how dedicated you are to you career and you'll stand out more than most. Good luck on your journey brother. Always here if you have any questions!!

thank you appreicate the videos and reply @@growwithme7451

@@growwithme7451 barlery passed at the end of the quarter lol. on to core 2 and term 2 .

Thank you man, I sincerely appreciate the positive content. Just want to create content for people that are considering the same career and just need reassurance. WGU provides you with a lot of good certifications that i believe really help out in your career.

Thank you so much!!

Yes, Net + was the hardest one for me not going to lie. With time you can definitely get it done, i failed on my first attempt and then past on my second attempt. Sec + was the easiest for me.

No THANK YOU!

You got this my man!!

Good stuff! Let me know if you need help with anything! I'm going to make a video on the Aws Cloud practitioner as well.

Welcome aboard! Keep studying you got this!

probably linux essentials, in network academy, this is a older cisco page they are migrating to skill for all's page

Hello fellow Night owl

that's great info. I had no idea! Thanks man!!

I only watch, i hardly ever take notes.

@@growwithme7451 but how do you remember all the information. I can’t take it all in even when writing notes. I was watching the videos about port numbers and stuff and I can’t take it all in

@@Jordan-ff6mc sorry for taking so long to respond. Quizlet is a good resource for having notes but not taking them. There are plenty of quizlet flash card sets available for the A+. It'll save you a lot of time.

Sorry for the late reply. I actually got my current job ( jr sys admin) before I completed my first cert.

no problem big guy!

Jason Dion

You got this!

Honestly I would say stick with A+. If you are already in a Help desk / Tech role then I would say jump to Net + or Security +

np bro!

One Month for both test if you can put a lot of times towards it. If not, I would say 1 month per each test at the longest. It seems like alot of material but when you get started, it really isn't that bad.

Very true.

I greatly appreciate that.

@@growwithme7451 You're welcome

You've got this!

@@growwithme7451 Thank you will keep you posted once I pass the exam..

Thank you!!!

No problem best of luck

Yes, that is a great resource. I personally used the Exam objectives and then followed professor Messer Videos and Mike Meyers on Udemy. If unable to purchase udemy then I would just use professor Messer.

Sounds like you have a great plan. With me responding this late, I surely hope you passed the exam. I would say getting 90% or higher consistently is good enough to move forward with the exam.

@@growwithme7451 Thank you! I did pass 😊

I’m studying the Dion practice exams as well,

Thanks buddy

Haven't looked at that material. I would say just use professor Messer and CompTIA exam objectives and you'll be fine.

They should lol. The test is already almost $500.

Yup they send you an email a few days later to confirm you address then they ship the cert at no cost.

I love his practice exams. If you follow those, you'll pass for sure.

Where do I get Jason Dion's practice exams

@@mirembejamaimah2495udemy

@@mirembejamaimah2495udemy..

If you buy those practice exams, does it expire after a period of time? Or you can keep it for months?

You got this!!

Thank you!!!!!

get it man!!!!!

I'm Comptia A+ certified as of November 2023. Took a break now on to N+( I clearly watched your N+ video too,lol).

You're going to pass!

I passed this cert about a year ago. I'm getting back to content, and what better way to start? Yes, I work as a junior sys admin. SO I'll be doing some videos on things I do at work. Also, I'll be posting a video this evening on the network +. Good luck on your journey, and please reach out if you have any questions.

Don't be nervous. The exam is very very similar to the practice exams. Keep doing the practice exams and then take it. You won't fail!

@@growwithme7451 thank you!

Passed both 1101 and 1102. I think if u could get 70 plus on the practice example u should be good. IMO Jason dion practice exam are a lot harder than the test which is a good thing. Good luck! Hope u pass!

@@tomastob5760 thank you! I passed. 1101 a month ago. Working on 1102 any thoughts and words of wisdom?
