PocketCastsIT certifications might be on the edge of a major transformation. With CompTIA recently being acquired by a private equity firm, many are wondering: is this the end of IT certifications as we know them? In this episode, I sit down with Wes Bryan—former IT trainer at ITProTV and a long-time advocate for tech professionals—to unpack what this acquisition could mean for the future of certs, their relevance in 2025, and whether they’re still a smart investment for your career.
We also dive deep into a growing trend: the shift from certifications to real-world skills. Are hiring managers starting to care less about the letters after your name and more about what you can actually do? Wes brings the insider perspective, career advice, and future-proofing tips you need to stay ahead in an ever-changing industry.
