Employers are demanding AI skills. What's the best way to learn them?

Umm..... ask AI? (me in a joking mood...)

Asking the question, "how to learn AI" is like asking the generalized question, "how do I learn computers" or "how do I learn how to paint". I do agree that a focused approach is always preferred, but one doesn't always know what he/she needs or wants to learn. Sometimes, just striking out on something helps that.

A+ Instructor Mentor/Instructor Required

We have a mature student who is looking to receive some one-to-one support with CompTIA A+ (and then Security+). Initial requirement is 1 hour per week for 4 weeks.

We are launching some new products in the next couple of months that will also require one-to-one support in a similar format.

Would suit someone looking to earn some additional income and really make a difference to a great student!

We are based in London, UK but work can be completed remotely.
Is this offer still open? I indicated my interest here but there has not been a reply. Kindly let me know if the role has been filled.

It is a different contractor world

Have you reached out to any training brokers like TTA (the Training Associates), Alliance Micro, the Judge Group, or any others?

I've been a contract instructor, off and on, since 2007. You need to network as much as you can, with training brokers, training centers, etc.

Also, diversify your training options. I'm certified to teach 14 different CompTIA classes, but I also hold the CISSP, CISM, CCSP, CCSK, Microsoft certs, project management certs, and several other certs. I'm currently working on adding AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Associate to my list of certs.
Hi Greg, thanks for the useful reply! If you recall any other training companies or brokers to add the 3 you suggested, that would be great! Thanks again!

I would consider this opportunity if you are still looking?

Security+ CEU's

1. The CEU fee is $150 to renew for three years. I have no idea why CompTIA decided to sell it in $50 1-year increments.
2. The CertMaster program only applies if it covers the objectives for the NEXT VERSION of the cert. You CANNOT use CertMaster if it is the same version as your current cert. Continuing education means learning something new.
3. Never wait until the three-year time limit is close to expiration because it severely limits your options on how to renew. Most of my CompTIA certs are good through 2028 to 2031. I get all my CEUs out of the way as early as I can and then pay the fee, and CompTIA adds on an additional three years.
4. Higher level CompTIA certs in the cybersecurity track automatically renew lower level certs. SecurityX renews CySA+/PenTest+ which renew Security+ which renews Network+ which renews A+.
5. CompTIA also accepts other approved vendor certs. I used my ISACA CISM to renew my SecurityX, and everything underneath it.
