    CompTIA PDI+

    I've just noticed that the new PDI+ is out of the beta and the final exam goes live on the 7th of January 2008.

    CompTIA PDI+™ Certification

    It's a little early but anyone got their hands on any study material for this one yet?

      Same here, but I shouldn't really book it without looking at a PDI+ study guide first.
      But I'm guessing alot of it will be entry level stuff that's covered in the core technology manual anyway.

        I took the beta, and if you have been in the business for more than 6 mo. and can't pass without studying, you need another job.

          I could just take it and no doubt achieve a passing score.
          But personally I would rather do a refresher and score as high as I possibly can.
          Plus it never hurts to revisit stuff you have covered years before, you may even learn something new.

            Just took the test and scored over 800. No studying invoved. If you have been doing this for a while it should be easy.

              Hi Daz
              You really don't need to study for this one.
              I took it without reading and got a good score. If I can you certainly will.
              It is very entry level, but thats not to denigrate it. It does test basic knowledge.

                I had forgotten all about it to be honest, guess I should take it for the hell of it.
