I have first hand knowledge of a huge cover up- flaw that Comptia the so called standard for IT certifications does not want anyone to know about. Here is the just of it. An employee of mine recently took the A+ certification in which the system said he passed but due to network connectivity issues they can not actually show that he passed where as others have provided witness testimony including staff from the testing center who have stated to the fact that he did pass. Comptia would rather sweep this under the rug and make him retest which is unfair to him to have to take more time away from work having to retest. When it is clearly evident that he passed. Comptia is only looking to make more money off of people to line their own pockets then to do what is right.

Comptia cover up part II

AUTHOR: - ()

POSTED: Monday, August 31, 2015

 Robert, I do not know if he will need to re take the exam we are hopeful that he will not need to do so. You enjoy playing devils advocate which is fine. I just pointed out there flaws, they were trying to sweep things under the rug. We hope they he does not have to get retested we hope that there will not be any additional fees that he will need to pay. We are ONLY asking that they admit there was an issue and that they send him his actual cert. Nothing more nothing less. I have answered all of your questions now if that is not good enough for you then to bad so sad! Quit butting in to this since you have nothing to do with Comptia.

Original issue..

AUTHOR: Robert - (USA)

POSTED: Sunday, August 30, 2015

I made my final comments about one of your issues, so I won't go there again.  But I will now make my final comment about the rest.

Your original claim was that the reason they won't say he passed is because they wanted more money from him.  You remember saying that...right?  Well just in case let me refresh your memory from your original post.

Comptia is only looking to make more money off of people to line their own pockets then to do what is right.So yes contrary to your claim that it doesn't matter if they are charging him again...that does matter.  As if they are not charging him your original claim that they are only in it for the money goes out the window.

Now, you refusing to answer it in ANY of your rebuttles says one of two things.  Either you don't know the answer(because you were not directly involved..sorry had to do it), or he is not being charged and you are refusing to say because it does destroy your original claim.  After all if he was being charged you would be screaming that from the nearest rooftop.

But it gets worse...it is now that he "possibly" may need to retake the test...so you don't even know that for sure.  Although it only took you three posts to admit that.

By the way, no I am not now or have I ever been an employee of this or any testing/certification company.

Comptia experience

AUTHOR: - ()

POSTED: Sunday, August 30, 2015

 Robert, I specifically asked my employee not to post anything about his experience, furthermore I am trying to be an advocate for him and for everyone who has had poor experiences with Comptia. I am not sure if you are with Comptia or if you represent Comptia. But for my employee to have to possibly retake the test either he pays or does not pay to have to retake a test is completely and utterly unacceptable.

Not Firsthand Knowledge

AUTHOR: Robert - (USA)

POSTED: Sunday, August 30, 2015

Obviously we could go back and forth talking about your "reality" but that does not take away the fact that you are not posting "First Hand Knowledge". 

Directly from the Merriam-Webster Dictionary

Firsthand - "coming directly from actually experiencing or seeing something"

So once again(and for the last time) YOU were not at the testing center, YOU are not the employee who took the test, YOU are not one of the employees of the testing center.  By your own admission the only information you are getting is what other people are telling you. 

Had your employee posted here...firsthand information.  Had your other employee posted here...firsthand information.  Even if one of the members of the center posted here...firsthand information. 

You also really need to go back and read what I wrote.  Not once did I say that what you are saying did not happen.  In fact I even said that if it did happen AND they are charging your employee to take another test, HE may even have a valid complaint.  So how come you failed to mention if he was being charged again or not?  Because that goes a long way to any of the other claims you are making.

1st hand Knowledge

AUTHOR: - ()

POSTED: Sunday, August 30, 2015

 Robert I am not sure who you are but let's be clear the employee that took the exam was not the one who told me 1st it was my office mgr who was also testing there on another subject when she too had issues . 2nd of all yes the staff members at the testing center will testify in court as they also told me straight up what they saw. So get off of your high horse come down to what I call reality. I would not have posted anything in here if it was not 100% verified!

First hand knowlege?

AUTHOR: Robert - (USA)

POSTED: Sunday, August 30, 2015

Perhaps you should re-check your terminology.

YOU were not the one testing..one of your employees were.  You were not one of these other people who "verified" he passed.  You are getting your information from what your employee(and perhaps these other people) have told you.  That is NOT first hand information, that is second hand information.   So you can not provide any thing to prove that at that time he had passed his test. 

But the key to this is your claim that they are only doing this to make money.  Okay, so with this verified "network connectivity" issue are they charging your employee to take another test?  If not, just how are they making money off of this "issue"?  Yes, it is an issue for you, but they are not making any money off of it(in fact they are losing money in having to do the retest).

Now, if by chance they are charging him again your employee may have a valid claim.  But that really depends on exactly what proof he does have that shows he actually did pass.  Will these employees at the testing center be willing to go to court and under oath state that he passed?
