to challenge or not to challenge

[abcampa at gmail.com (Albert R. Campa)]

I think the 401 does have a lot of information, and the 501, even better.

I went straight to the IDS class cuz thats what I focus on.

Now I am debating on whether to take the 560 before the Incident Handling.

Thanks for the advice on the assessment, im gonna check that out.
