@lastpeony , except when the exams have 10 years ago deprecated features.

My CompTIA A+ certification I took back in 2001 covered the 8088 and WinNT.

@lastpeony CS is not about programming. Programming is just fundamentals for evaluating cs concepts. More important are proofs about runtime and memory analysis, correctness, probabilities. There are lots of interesting problems like eg clock sync, routing, scheduling, ML,... . I found it very helpful to have lectures about that instead of learning everything from books.
