Security+ SY0-701: Where to find CertMaster Labs, practice questions and exam voucher?

O
Bonjour à tous,

Je suis membre CIN et j’ai accès à la série CIN TTT - Security+ SY0-701 CML. J’enseigne le réseautage et je me prépare à enseigner Security+ et à passer la certification moi-même. J’ai trois questions :

1. Labs : Où puis-je trouver les laboratoires CertMaster pour Security+ SY0-701 ? Sont-ils inclus dans l’accès pour l’instructeur, ou ai-je besoin d’une licence séparée ? S’ils ne sont pas inclus, comment puis-je demander l’accès ?

2. Questions d’entraînement : Existe-t-il une banque de questions (par exemple CertMaster Practice) ou un ensemble imprimable de questions à choix multiples et de clés de réponses que les enseignants peuvent utiliser avec les étudiants ? Où puis-je télécharger les ressources pour l’instructeur (guide de l’instructeur, diapositives) ?

3. Certification : Comment puis-je m’inscrire à l’examen SY0-701 ? Y a-t-il une réduction ou un bon d’achat pour les membres du CIN ou les instructeurs ? Je suis basé à Dakar, au Sénégal, donc j’aimerais aussi savoir comment trouver un centre d’examen Pearson VUE ou passer l’examen en ligne. Enfin, avec l’arrivée prochaine du SY0-801, conseilleriez-vous de suivre le SY0-701 maintenant ?

Merci beaucoup pour votre aide.

Cordialement,
Aristide

Certified Technical Instructor (10+ Years Delivery) Open for 1099 Cohorts, Contract Delivery, and Full-Time Roles

mwebler
Hello CIN Community,

After a dedicated 10-year tenure delivering technical instruction and curriculum design, I am officially opening my calendar and exploring new opportunities for instructional delivery, curriculum architecture, and technical consulting.

Over the past decade, I have specialized in taking enterprise, defense, and career-transitioning cohorts through mission-critical IT and cybersecurity frameworks. My instructional approach is hands-on and outcome-driven, prioritizing disciplined, practical execution over generic theory to ensure high student engagement and exceptional first-time exam pass rates.

Core Areas of Instruction & Expertise:​

  • CompTIA Pathways: Security+, Network+, PenTest+, SecurityX (CASP+), CEH|CEI and emerging security frameworks.
  • Networking & Infrastructure: Cisco CCNA, routing and switching topologies, and network architecture.
  • Delivery Modalities: Experienced in live remote/virtual classrooms (Zoom, Teams, Webex), hybrid setups, and on-site corporate/defense delivery.
  • Curriculum & Lab Architecture: Custom hands-on lab topology engineering, exam prep blueprint development, and student assessment workflows.

Engagement Availability:​

  • 1099 Independent Contractor Delivery: Available for dedicated 5-day virtual or on-site cohorts, accelerated bootcamps, and evening/weekend modules.
  • Curriculum Consulting: Lab design, course customization, and technical curriculum review.
  • Full-Time Opportunities: Open to discussions for senior technical instructor, training lead, or instructional designer roles.
If your training organization, defense partner, or academic institution has upcoming scheduling gaps or needs immediate, reliable instructional support, I would welcome the opportunity to connect.

Feel free to send me a direct message here on CIN, connect on LinkedIn, or reach out directly at [email protected].

I'd love to get rid of Windows on my final laptop, but to be honest I do need an environment that's representative of what my students are using. I need to verify all my lab instructions and find the quirks they run into. :(

For me, a pristine environment (virtual or physical) that I'd use to validate the student experience, is what I've always done - that way, I can run what I want for how I do my work without having to worry about those things, to me, is the way to go.

Well, my disdain for Microsoft has developed over the course of decades of using their products and feeling constrained by Redmond in doing things. They weren't always that way.
