This one was tough for a few different reasons but I succeeded…..finally.&lt;/p>
&lt;p>Network+ is the latest certification that I have earned. This is one that I had planned to take much earlier in the year but scheduling had pushed it back several months.&lt;/p>
&lt;p>The college that I went to provides boot camps that once completed, will provide a voucher to take the actual exam. All that is required is that you pass the required class related to the subject matter. I took the network class several years ago. It was one of the first classes I took when I started going back to school.&lt;/p></description></item><item><title>CompTIA CySA+ Certified</title><link>https://shanetalkstech.com/posts/comptia-cysa-certified/</link><pubDate>Sat, 03 Aug 2024 16:36:04 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://shanetalkstech.com/posts/comptia-cysa-certified/</guid><description>&lt;p>Recently I have set a reminder in my phone to remind me to make updates for my page more frequently. I have been terrible about that. This is going to be a quick life update. Not much exciting going on as far as tech goes.&lt;/p>
&lt;p>The highlight of my update I will go ahead and get out of the way. I got my CySA+ certification. It was a bit funny how this turned out. The lady that does CompTIA tests at work called me and asked if I was interested in CySA+. The only caveat, I had to take the test within the next three days.&lt;/p></description></item><item><title>Getting my A+ certification</title><link>https://shanetalkstech.com/posts/getting-my-a-certification/</link><pubDate>Thu, 08 Feb 2024 12:45:09 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://shanetalkstech.com/posts/getting-my-a-certification/</guid><description>&lt;p>The CompTIA A+is typically the first IT certification that people pursue. Myself, I chose to do things backwards. I got the highest level of the initial trio of certifications first, Security+. I initially chose to get this one in hopes that it would help me with the job hunt after graduating. I did not intend to go after A+ and Network+. I just wanted to familiarize myself with the knowledge required for those exams.&lt;/p></description></item><item><title>What is new for me in 2024</title><link>https://shanetalkstech.com/posts/what-is-new-for-me-in-2024/</link><pubDate>Fri, 02 Feb 2024 13:28:47 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://shanetalkstech.com/posts/what-is-new-for-me-in-2024/</guid><description>&lt;p>What has been new with me? I haven’t posted on here in a while. I want to get better about that this year and in the future. I have several idea for articles that I want to post and even a few that I have bad before and others that I have started and never finished.&lt;/p>
&lt;p>The last article I wrote was about my study process and earning my CompTIA Security+ certification. I will likely also do a write up on my study process for A+ because I also earned that certification as well.&lt;/p></description></item><item><title>How I passed the CompTIA Security+ exam</title><link>https://shanetalkstech.com/posts/how-i-passed-the-comptia-security-exam/</link><pubDate>Fri, 22 Sep 2023 15:59:22 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://shanetalkstech.com/posts/how-i-passed-the-comptia-security-exam/</guid><description>&lt;p>After graduating from college, I finally decided it was time to get some certifications to help in my job search. I went about this a little backwards but that’s OK because not everyone does things the same way. That is an important lesson to learn in life. Your way and your path is going to be different from others and that is OK.&lt;/p>
&lt;p>I am referring to CompTIA certifications for right now. CompTIA recommends starting with A+ and then getting Network+ before getting Security+. If you do this, getting Security+ will renew your other two certifications.&lt;/p></description></item></channel></rss>
