The truth is I forgot about this blog site because I’ve been very busy, and I try to “unplug” the the last part of the day.
That being said, my CompTIA certs are about to expire and I need to CE points to add. I will be adding several blog entries to acquire those points.
This is basically a way to extend the expiration of your certification without purchasing and passing another exam. There are costs involved, but they are much less than the cost of another certificate.
To add CEU points to a CompTIA cert, the following is listed for blogs:
You can earn 1 CEU for each blog post of at least 500 words.
Timing: Your blog post must be written and published during your three-year renewal cycle.
Relevance: At least 50 percent of the blog post content must relate to one or more of the exam objectives for the certification you’re renewing.
Documentation: Submit the following documentation to receive CEUs for the blog post:
- URL or copy of the published work with your name and the date published.
- Description of the content covered
I currently need 28 more points. I will be using other means of acquiring points, such as work experience which requires a letter from my supervisor on company letterhead.
