There is really no good time to do this, but I am definitely having a tough time. As I said earlier, doing this during the school year was definitely the wrong time to do it. I have over 150 students that log in at different times of the day, so it makes it even more difficult for both students and myself. I have tried reaching out to my account representative, but have not had any luck contacting them. I have a lot of students that need their accounts merged because they used a seperate email account accidently, so now they can't access the content. Custormer support is slow to respond, probably because they have been overloaded with issues like this.

I run my training through LabSim, and the way CompTIA has implemented SSO has been devastating to my business. My school LabSim/TestOut account has been merged with my personal SSO, and as a result I’ve lost access to all my current and archived class data.


This isn’t a minor inconvenience. My business has been directly and negatively impacted. Even if my students eventually recover their accounts, I still have no access to years worth of training reports, custom exams, and related data that I rely on to track progress, document outcomes, and run my program responsibly.


At this level, I expected a smoother transition and far more care for the data that underpins my work

Playing around with Data+v2

I was playing around Data+v2 group chat and made the following graphic with "my friend" deepseek, that can be found in:
https://github.com/Webgace/TTT-Data-v2-World-Audience

Is an interactive dashboard visualizes the global participation data from CompTIA's Data+ Train-the-Trainer (TTT) series, demonstrating the worldwide reach of data analytics education. The project transforms raw chat log data into compelling visual stories about global learning communities.

CIN TTT Series: AI Essentials and AI Prompting Essentials

BrianFord
I can tell everyone that I completed AI Essentials and am working through the Prompting course now. They are both tremendously interesting and feature some very new types of assignments and assessment techniques. These are truly skill development courses that will help anyone seeking to use AI tools both in the workplace and in their personal lives.

Implementation Experiences: Aligning CompTIA Training with U.S. State CTE Frameworks (e.g., DESE Massachusetts)

A
I just took over the cyber program here and they have been using codehs. My idea was to align and teach comptia certs so that the kids could get certifications along with grades. My thought process is to put students into a position where they could graduate and find a help desk or NOC job. Or if they went to college test out of some of the classes. I think I'm going to have to write out a 1 to 1 relationship to the state objectives. Probably gonna fire up chatgpt for that one lol

Implementation Experiences: Aligning CompTIA Training with U.S. State CTE Frameworks (e.g., DESE Massachusetts)

Hello everyone,

I’m an Information Technology instructor at a Chapter 74 Career and Technical Education (CTE) high school in Massachusetts, working under the DESE Information Support Services and Networking (ISSN) framework.

I’d like to learn from others about their experience implementing CompTIA training programs (such as A+, Network+, Security+, etc.) in alignment with state-level CTE frameworks across the U.S.

Specifically:
  • How have schools structured CompTIA coursework within multi-year high school CTE pathways?
  • Which CompTIA certifications have you integrated at each grade level (e.g., sophomore, junior, senior years)?
  • How do you ensure compliance with your state’s CTE standards (for example, DESE’s six strands: Safety & Health, Technical Skills, Employability, etc.) while maintaining industry relevance?
  • What methodologies or pacing models have proven most effective (semester-based, full-year, hybrid, or modular)?
I’m currently mapping CompTIA A+ Core 1 & 2 (CertMaster Learn v15) against the DESE CTE framework and would appreciate insights, success stories, or lesson structures that have worked well in your districts.

Thank you in advance for sharing your experience and best practices.

I can tell you what my district does. Currently we offer CompTIA A+ Core 1 as a semester course and CompTIA A+ Core 2 as a semester course at our comprehensive high schools. These courses are open to 9-12. We meet daily for 52 minutes a class period.

As for CompTIA Security+, Network+ and Linux+, we offer those as well at our CTE school that meets daily in block schedule. Those classes are all semester courses and students (juniors and seniors) have to apply to be accepted at our CTE school.
