Cloud Essentials Experts Needed
CompTIA is currently seeking professionals with strong knowledge and understanding of main cloud computing principles and concepts from a business and technical perspective to participate in an Item Writing workshop for our Cloud Essentials Certification exam.
During the Item Writing workshop, Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) will create, develop, and review item content (questions) for the CompTIA Cloud Essentials Certification exam.
Assistance from SMEs is crucial in providing an industry relevant exam. While it is preferred that SMEs are Cloud Essentials certified, or have equivalent or higher credentials, potential SMEs must have at least 2 years of experience working in an environment that markets or relies on IT services with a keen understanding of what is involved in moving to and governing the Cloud.
SMEs who attend the workshop will receive:
- An honorarium of $400 per day (or $2000 total for the week), pending adequate level of participation
- A complimentary CompTIA testing voucher for the exam of his/her choice
- Breakfast, lunch, and refreshments daily during the workshop
In recognition of their contributions, all SMEs who participate in the Item Writing workshop will have their names and companies (if provided) listed on the CompTIA website.
International SMEs (outside of the US) will also receive an additional $100 per day stipend to help defer travel costs for a total $2500.
When: Feburary 4th-8th, 2019
Where: CompTIA Headquarters; 3500 Lacey Rd. Suite 100, Downers Grove, IL 60515 (Downers Grove is a suburb of Chicago)
Only professionals who are currently working in one of the fields above should apply. Although CompTIA appreciates interest from the training community, applications from trainers, authors, or individuals who may profit or materially benefit from knowledge of the CompTIA credential content are not eligible to participate.
