If you recertify the high exams, the lower exams are recertified as well. Like if you take cysa+ the lower ones you passed in the past, also are extended.

You're not lying if you put A+, Security+ or other certifications on your resume and they expired. The fact is, you took those exams, passed and earned those certifications. I don't see anything unethical in it. If they ask if they are current, they be honest and let them know they expired.

You only renew if your employer ask you to do so esp for compliance regulations and partnerships. If you have over 5 to 10 plus experience, your experience trumps everything including degrees and certifications.

Hey Josh I recently spoke with Comptia and was told that you have to pay for the highest cert you have . So for example if you have the trifecta you only have to pay for the security +

I love these shorter videos that focus on something like this!

[realyoungsimba]

Does anyone know if it is worth renewing a ITIL certification? If so, what is the best strategy for this?

[ghostteller]

If you have to rent your professional credibility, you never had any to begin with.

[vonnpowell]

So true. When the cert expires doesn't mean that your knowledge or passing the exam expired. Depends on the job I guess.

Hey Josh, is there any upcoming discounts for your cyber course or any kind of payment plans?

[MarstonConner]

So yeah, for consulting they do receive certain incentives for have x number of [cert]. These are typically for higher level or specialized certs, definitely a bargaining chip. I got a contract once just because I had a specific AWS cert. They passed on me and then called me back that week because they were told they needed to have another cert holder in order to qualify for a special partnership with the vendor. So they can come in handy but I would say up-skill (go for a higher level cert) then renew your current, often times vendors will renew your previous cert as well upon passing a higher level certification.

.... It's $50... Yes you should recertify, people don't live in a dam bubble

I heard lie about certification and that was enough for me. There example after example of people who got canned for lying on their resume, even when they were responsible for turning a company around.

[robdawg]

Just do CySA and it will renew all of the CompTIA trifecta won't it?

[ScathGaming]

Honesty never found the certs to help in job prospects to begin with. Job experience is the best bargaining chip

I actually almost gave CompTia $150 and then saw this. Keeping CISSP/CISM current only. Thanks!
