Those with CompTia A+, Network+ and Security+ certification!

[Admiral Huddy]

Just a heads up really.

Like me, some of you may have taken these exams in the past. At the time, certification was for life but it seems that as the industry moves forward, so does the knowledge and this the certification becomes somewhat out of date and pointless. CompTia have introduced a Continued Education program to validate your existing certifications and bring them up to date. Makes sense really.

If you have these already , you have until the 31st December to enrol. There is a small fee and the program help yo maintain it validity. If you don't your existing certifications become expired and you'll have to take them.

The deadline to enrol in the CompTIA Continuing Education (CE) Program for individuals who hold a "certified for life" A+, Network+ and/or Security+ certification and want to join the CE Program is December 31st, 2012. Individuals are considered "certified for life" if their certification was earned on or prior to December 31, 2010.

Enrollment in the CE program is optional unless mandated by an employer. Individuals that need continuing education credentials must enrol in the CE program by December 31, 2012. Once the enrolment period is closed, individuals will need to retake the certification test to earn a continuing education credential. Don’t miss out on this opportunity to keep your skills current.
