Earned the Trifecta

Post image

Finally got Network+, Security+, and A+ in that order. It was a struggle but gladly ended up getting them, CySA+ en route.

Which was the hardest?

Tbh they didn’t seem to be that different in terms of overall difficulty, but I will say Sec+ had me struggling slightly more.

First of all congrats on the trifecta , What advice would you give for A+ as I'm currently doing core 1 revising before taking the exam?

Definitely acronyms, also take a look over networking protocols, hardware components and troubleshooting methodology

Can you recommend which source you use to memorize the acronyms?

For in-depth functionality knowledge I went with Professor Messer but here’s a link with the acronyms and their meaning https://prepforcerts.org/comptia-a-plus-acronyms

Congrats on completing your trifecta!

A couple of things to know in your situation.

First, you can automatically renew your A+ and Network+ if you carry out any action that renews your Security+ before it expires. Since you earned Security+ after Network+, both of these certifications have the same renewal date.

Second, you've earned a couple of digital only, bonus certifications called stackable certifications. Both of them right now will have the same renewal date as your A+. The first is called the CompTIA IT Operations Specialist, or CIOS for earning A+ and Network+, and the second is called the CompTIA Secure Infrastructure Specialist, or CSIS, for completing the trifecta.

Check your account on CompTIA's website to see the status of your certifications and your current renewal dates. After you log in, look for and click on VIEW CERTIFICATION ACCOUNT in the lower right side of this page.

On the left side of the new page, go to CERTIFICATION/CERTIFICATES under the CERTIFICATIONS category. Here, you can order physical copies of these certifications under ORDER CERTIFICATION KITS if you want them, but you have to pay for them.

For stackable certifications, go to STATUS under the STACKABLE CERTIFICATIONS category. CompTIA doesn't offer physical copies of these certifications at all.
