CompTIA Reneges, Reconsiders on Lifetime Certifications

garg0yle writes "Recently, it was reported that IT certification house CompTIA had changed their A+, Network+, and Security+ certifications — rather than being 'for life,' there would now be a recertification requirement through continuing-education credits (and an accompanying fee). Needless to say, this made a lot of people very unhappy, and today it was announced that CompTIA has reversed their decision. Basically, any certification obtained before 2011 will still be 'for life.'" Ars notes the coincidence that CompTIA contacted them about the change of heart an hour after Ars's story about CompTIA's initial switcheroo went live.

    "I'm not calling that number, you sociopath. You want my number so you can harass me. The number has been forwarded to my buddy in internal investigations. He says the number it forwards to, in area code 479, is in Arkansas. Interesting. That's a lot of effort to go through just to fuck with someone. Hope it was worth it. You really shouldn't try interstate fraud, it gets you put on some fun little lists"

    Hi spun!

    you should avoid making retarded posts where you give out verifiable information, so i can prove you're a liar like I did today.

    And if your "friend" said that's in "arkansas" then both you AND your friend are fucking imbeciles.

    But your post demonstrated that clearly anyway.
