Passed CompTIA Cloud + CV0-001

---

Hi guys - I passed the Cloud + exam on Tuesday. I would like to thank the ITPro staff for their Cloud + course. The course is very helpful when studying for the Exam

I realize the Cloud + Exam is a pretty basic certification but I wanted to get a cloud certification on my resume. The exam was a pretty standard CompTIA exam. You need to know the information and concepts inside and out. They will try and trick you with vague and interestingly worded questions. Memorization of practice question is not enough to pass this exam. I really liked Cloud + because it has given me a basic foundation to at least talk intelligently about cloud computing. I have been through interviews and have been asked basic questions about moving to the cloud or what would be most important about securing systems in the cloud. If I had this certification at that time I could have answered those question in a more detailed and accurate way.

Below is what I used to study for the exam:

1. ITPRO.TV Cloud + class
2. CompTIA Cloud + Certification study guide (Nate Stammer and Scott Wildon) Practice questions in the book and on an included CD
3. Practice test found on Udemy
4. Cybrary IT Cloud + videos (These are not even close to as good as the ITPro.TV videos)

I realize CV0-002 will be out soon so this information might not be that relevant but I figured I would share =)

@lowell-luplow,
Thanks for sharing your path to success. We at ITProTV congratulate and celebrate with you!

Congratulations Lowell!!

I just got word this week that I passed the CV0-002 Beta exam (taken back in October), so it's good to join the crowd of Cloud+ Certified!!

I have to say it was tricky, because all the resources were for the CV0-001 exam. I relied heavily on the ITProTV Cloud+ course - it was great material guys. I also used the following books: Deploying and Managing a Cloud Infrastructure by Salam, Gilani, Ul Haq; and CompTIA Cloud+ Study Guide by Todd Montgomery (this is now out for the CV0-002 exam); and CompTIA Cloud+ CV0-001 In Depth by Ron Gilster.
I also viewed some material from the Server+ Course. I would suggest watching the whole series along with Cloud+. Hopefully you guys intend on filming a new course for the CV0-002 objectives.

Anyway, thanks again for all the great work done here at ITProTV.

William

@william-fields,
Thanks for sharing your study methods too. Lowell's post and your response will definitely help the ITProTV community to learn from each other and make it better. The ITProTV team appreciates your help!!

@william-fields Contrats William =) I am not sure if I should attempt the CV0-002 beta or not. I am currently studying for the CISSP exam. Maybe by the time I am done with CISSP the beta exam will have an official release. Thanks for sharing how you studied for the CV0-002 exam =)
