Don’t be left out in the dark about CompTIA 2024 certification changes. CompTIA is making several updates this year in their certification pathways. If you are studying for a CompTIA certification this year, be certain to know if your studies are affected.
CompTIA has been making some great changes in their certifications. Their latest changes have been significant changes, in a good way! The recent updates in the Security+ certification were not only toward new technologies, but they have restructured the certification to be more relevant to security job roles. CompTIA is addressing cybersecurity trends and techniques that are needed to ensure performance on the job.
But even more changes are coming. CompTIA has been working on adding certification programs for certifications to focus on different areas of IT. We all know the Plus (+) series, but CompTIA is working on new certification series that will focus on the universal need for digital fluency across the IT professions. They have added CompTIA Essentials Series, CompTIA a+ Series Series (referred to as little a+), CompTIA Pro Series, and CompTIA Xpert Series. (The CASP+ certification will be rebranded as SecurityX and become a part of Xpert series.)
The 2024 changes that I want to focus highlight are some of oldies but goodies that we have been working with for years. First and foremost, look for Network+ N10-008 to change this year, it was last released in September 2021. If you are studying now, get a move on it! Although not released yet, if the changes to Security+ and their new certification series are an indication, we will see some big changes in its structure.
Another big change will be the long-awaited update to IT Fundamentals! They will be rebranding the certification name to Tech+ and making some well awaited updates. Also coming in 2024 will be updates to the Cloud+ and PenTest+ certifications.
Keep watching my blog, we will talk more details of the changes.
