CIN Essentials TTT Series: CompTIA AI Essentials

CIN is kicking off a new TTT series! This TTT series will focus on professional development around the CompTIA Compcert courses. While these will not be tied to a CompTIA certification exam, as always, we will provide a certificate of attendance that you can use to show for professional development.

Our first series will be the CompTIA AI Essentials. This will be a four-session series designed to provide the following knowledge and skills:
  • Learn what defines artificial intelligence from other types of intelligence and computing
  • Practice communicating about AI effectively
  • Explore AI tools and the ways they can support your organization
  • Craft AI prompts
  • Navigate the privacy and security concerns AI technology presents
  • Prepare for AI's effect on the future of technology

Thanks @Stephen Schneiter Is the course already available on the CompTIA platform, or when can we expect it to be released?

How often do you teach each of the CompTIA courses per year?

I am certified in all of them except Linux+ and DataX, so I've never taught those. I am certified in CloudNetX, Data+, and DataSys+ but have never taught them.

In the last three years, I have taught Cloud+, CySA+, Network+, PenTest+, Project+, Security+, SecurityX, and Tech+. The ones I've taught the most are Cloud+, Project+, Security+, and SecurityX. I have taught A+ and Server+, but not in the last three years, probably much longer than that. I help write and record training sessions for Tech+, but have never taught it for a class.
DataX is good, It helped with Advanced AI Security Management (AAISM-ISACA) . CloudNetX is good too but I don't think its on par CCDE

New CompTIA A+ Perform vs Learn

Hi,

Probably a bit late to the party, but I’ve recently switched to the A+ Perform solution after previously using the CertMaster Learn + Labs product. Overall, both my students and I prefer Perform.

The differences aren’t huge, but Perform offers a few more videos, and the lab environment feels more polished and engaging. Personally, I find it an improvement over the Learn + Labs version.

If you can, I’d recommend asking your account manager for a quick demo so you can see the features for yourself and decide which will work best for your teaching style and students.

Sorry I can’t give you a more detailed comparison, but hopefully this helps point you in the right direction.

Cheers,
SteveO

If it is either post the new address here or DM me and I will make sure the team updates the email for distribution. We will make sure you get your vouchers.
Thank @Stephen Schneiter I sent you a DM about this. Thanks

Future TTT course

Future TTT courses should include a session on how to answer a mock simulation question in exam so we can train our students well or can tell what they will looking for in the simulation exam. Most of students get scared when they think the simulation will be like lab exercise.

In TTT we should be trained on our training a mock simulation exam, it will be very helpful to trainer when teaching the course.
Agree. @Sivanesan
