Zach, your encouragement has changed my life. 15 months ago I was stuck in a job where things had changed and it was hard for me to balance responsibilities for work and family. I saw one of your videos on the A+, heard your encouragement, and got to work. Fast forward to today, I'm 10 months into my first IT job and just completed the Trifecta. Future looks bright and I'm so thankful

I job hunted for over a year with an Associates degree/ other certs and got very little interest from employers. After I got the Net+ I had employers reaching out to me within hours of uploading my updated resume to indeed/other job sites and I’m starting my first IT job on Monday! Studying for Sec+ now hopefully will take that around the first of the year. Huge CompTIA fan!

3 months of hard studying for me and got my Sec+ certification on my first try. That was my first certificate, moving to an ISSO job and got a $25, 000 pay bump. Was well worth it for me.

My kid is 16 and is pursuing his Net+, Sec+for this Summer and the Linux+ for the Fall.

He is already taking college courses and completing his associates in Computer Science with a focus in Information Security.


Thank you for this video confirming that he is in the right direction.

Just want to say that this video has a lot of good information. Keep it mind that you may or may not require a cert depending on the company. That's why I tell folks to build a homelab and add those skills to the resume. You should also fix your resume and linkedin profile so hiring managers can find you. Networking with hiring managers and getting a reference definitely helps.

Zach knocked out his own trifecta (new job, new body, new passion for IT)

You've just restored my faith in my journey my friend thank you, I've been getting anxiety really bad thinking after my degree is done and my certs are done I wont find a job. but you just helped me with my anxiety. I will have all 3 Comptia certs by feb. 2023 plus my B.S in Information Tech.

I have the CompTIA Trifecta. You do learn TONS of useful information preparing for these three exams, and SEC+ by far is the most difficult one (I really loved NET+). The difficult thing as actually finding a job, because these days most employers required some kind of ungrad degree so if you don't have that you might struggle to even be considered. I have been job hunting for months, and even entry level helpdesk jobs are passing me over 😅

Great video. I got my Comptia Trifecta in August, now I'm working on some Microsoft certs and about to start a bachelor's program for IT management. After that I'm heading towards getting some Cisco certs. I used professor messer for Comptia certs and an currently using IT Pro TV for microsoft. I agree the lessons, labs, and practice tests are a life saver.

[soldiermedic]

got my first IT job with no experience and basic skills. over a 7 month period, got the trifecta. second IT role almost doubled my salary from my first job. and i'm in a role with more opportunities to learn even more and quadruple my skillset.

Used certmaster learn to study for A+. Passed it but for Network + I've been using ITpro and am enjoying much more. A lot less dry and the labs/ practice labs are great resources for the price.

I just wanna say to the watchers I know it sounds like he’s just doing a forced sponsor for IT Pro Tv. But it is a really good recourse to use they have high quality courses almost every cert you can think of. Shout out to Wes that man is the goat.

[zacsisolak]

I just watched a vid from 2 years ago and now this one. I wasn't sure if it was the same channel because you look like a brand-new person. Congrats on the weight loss man. I just got my degree and am probably gonna shoot for these certs to bolster my resume since I have almost no real experience.

[vincentmanuel]

Only 17 but I just passed the 1101, studying for the 1102 rn. Going to college for a bachelors in information systems during the fall but gonna continue to study for certifications on the side

[GentlemenMonkey]

Just completed the trifecta today. Feels good.

[danielhager]

I love how much healthier you look in your recent videos compared to 6 years ago. Good for you!

[Jason-jktn]

Just wanted to say you are looking much healthier! Happy for you, thanks for the content
