Penetration Testing/Threat Modeling Reporting Tool?

Can you be a bit more specific in what you want to achieve and/or replace? There are a ton of tools out there, and it may be just me not fully understanding your request, but if you could add some detail I and the community might be able to help.
Appreciate the assistance. The tool we're replacing is https://dradis.com/, It's a pen testing reporting tool that allows users to save bugs and issues in a library to reuse in future assessments, create templates, etc. Their licensing has become burdensome and support has become untenable.

LinkedIn Exam Scammers

The scammer will not care because either A) there's no bad publicity, you're actually advertising for them, B) their account on LinkedIn is fake anyway, it's not their real identity.

I've worked with the exam ethics team quite heavily over the years, but as @BrianFord says: it's a never-ending deluge. After I gave my my moderator status of r/comptia I also stopped putting so much time into this.
That's exactly why I said putting the exam center testing location on the Certification Certificate and verification is the cure. Trying to play "we'll find you" will do nothing.
Thanks @Shea Bennett, for sharing. CompTIA does take exam security very seriously. If you have an URL or company name that is being advertised and can share it with me, I will send to Legal and the Exam Dev team and they will investigate.

Network + in 5 Days

Yeah we used to offer the bootcamps but had higher requirements for those courses and explained that the fast paced class in a bootcamp are NOT meant for those entering into the IT/Cyber field. They are meant for professionals that have the experience and knowledge but need guidance on how to apply that to a proctored exam.

A majority of our students were transitioning into IT so we offer a longer term course, usually two nights a week for 3-4 hours, for several weeks this allows time for the students to digest the material covered and work on reading and lab activities before we dive into new content.
Thank you Nick, you have given me very useful information. On a separate note: I enjoyed your CySA+ TTT Series, thank you so much for running such an insightful series.

Network + in 5 Days

There is not enough time to cover the lectures, labs, and quizzes in one week.

If you only do the lecture, and tell the students to complete the labs and quizzes on their own time, you can cover the class in one week.
Thanks for your reply Gregory, I will take this into consideration, when I plan for my upcoming classes.
