I already have the 2008 version of Security + which was suppose to be a lifetime certification. My company has been hounding me for month to get the newer version. They even tried to make me sign a 90 agreement. I didn't. I fail to doing the continuing education bcuz it was too late when I found out about. Last week my company signed a lot of us for a Sec + Bootcamp. Starting Saturday morning thru Monday.

I work nightshift. They're really sticking it to us for be delinquent. And how, the teacher was great, but no way you're learning all of that with 2.5 days. We sat in class for 8 hrs and had a minimum of 5 hours of homework. This class consumed me this past weekend.
Finally took the test yesterday. I thought I failed it every step of the way. I zoomed thru it. I was 2nd to finish. This new version is 10x harder than the one from 09. I passed it! I passed it!

"More certs, more money"
I have a lot of study materials and the exact labs that are on the test.
