"Hopefully, I Don’t Get Canceled for This": Renewing IT Certifications is a Scam

[LevelUP]

I can see his point about not renewing entry level certs on the theory that your experience should outweigh them at that point. However, I can't get behind his stance of continuing to claim the expired cert. I guess if you want to list it on your resume with an "expired" or a range of dates (2019-2021), you could, but my feeling is that if that if you really want/need it on your resume, then you should be willing to renew it.

Ya you could listed them as expired like this for example:

Certifications

CompTIA A+ (Certified: Jan 2018 - Expired: Jan 2021)
Cisco CCNA (Certified: Mar 2019 - Expired: Mar 2022)
AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Associate (Certified: May 2022 - Present)

I wonder how much extra value you gain from using his example in the video, where someone lies and says their certification is current, rather than listing it as expired, considering you already have a few years of experience.
