Single Sign On For Labsim.

I understand the reason for moving to the Single Sign On for Labsim, but doing that has caused a lot of issues for my students. Prior to this month, I was able to send my students temporary passwords if they forgot their passwords. With the new system now in place I no longer have the ability to do that. Because most of my students only have school email accounts(K12), the password reset procedure is creating a lot of unhappy students and parents. I already reached out to our corporate IT to see if they could whitelist CompTIA, but it seems to be a long and daunting process. I have also tried getting my students to move over to a personal email, but that still has its oen issues. Are there any suggestions as how to proceed with the issue? Are there any other instructors having the same issue?

I like that (y).
I like more the idea of daily life use case, since it hit a nerve with the trainees.

Linux+ V8 TTT Series by Jasson, I enjoyed it.

It's true; I will have the chance to learn new styles and adopt some interesting ones from others as well.
Thank you again for introducing me to an interesting method. Practical first and Theory second. I have applied to my current session of CEH.
I got the result as expected. I will apply it in my self-paced courses too.
Very true. Now is the time for all attendees to take and pass the Linux+ V8 exam.

Linux+ V8 TTT Series by Jasson, I enjoyed it.

An outstanding training experience. After completing the Linux+ V8 Train-the-Trainer (TTT) course, I feel significantly more confident in my ability to take and pass the certification exam. Jason Excert demonstrated exceptional expertise and made the course both engaging and enjoyable through his use of humor and well-designed, hands-on labs.

Linux+ V8 TTT Series by Jasson, I enjoyed it.

I have finished my training of the Linux+ TTT series with Jason this week. It was awesome. I have been delivering training on Linux, Networking, Cybersecurity, and Penetration Testing since 2014. I learned the following things from @jassonesckert .

1.) How can you engage students in an online session for 2 hours? It seems easy after this TTT series.
2.) Make an interactive session in Video tutorials (self-paced course).
3.) Practical First and Theory second. It seems a 3-5-time revision of the same topic. it is interesting.
4.) Always has a smiley face.
5.) Make available self-made resources.

Thank you, Jasson, for giving your valuable time in this TTT series.
Thanks for sharing!

CIN Exclusive Live Stream Event - Instructor Toolbox Session

Get ready to participate in a hands-on, practical cyber exercise with CompTIA, Cubic, and Cloud Range Cyber. For the next CompTIA Learning session, we’ll be conducting a cyber range exercise focused on protecting critical communications infrastructure. This will be a workshop, so prepare yourselves to interact with experts as you learn unique skill combinations that solve today’s critical issues. Throughout the session, AWS and Cubic will outline critical ways to manage, improve, and secure Mission Partner Environment (MPE) networks and communications. They will outline ways to cope with Denied, Degraded, Intermittent, and Limited (DDIL) environments, for example. All the while, we will all work hand-in-hand in a cyber range.

Great share!
