Hi everyone,

Please share your experience for A+ Core1 and Core2 preparation.
Do you think attending TTT series alone is enough?
What materials/sites you used for prep?
How long you took to prepare?
Any specific tips?

Regards

Try to include more of animations, PPTs, White Board session, labs and demos, short videos and use cases with comparing different products, examples and daily life use case with scenario based troubleshooting

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

Vijay Kumar said:
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.

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. We’ll be working inline and in real-time with experts who will help you learn the skills to help unify and secure edge and cloud for better communications and outcomes.

Hey everyone! Hope you're all doing great :)

I'm a new A+ instructor and just getting started. Quick question, where can I find extra training resources like slides or the Instructor Guide? I’ve checked CompTIA Central and here’s what I’ve got access to so far:

A+ Core 1 and Core 2 CertMaster Learn
A+ Core 1 and Core 2 CertMaster Perform
A+ Core 1 and Core 2 CertMaster Study

Thank you all in advance!

From what I see, the PPT slides aren't actually shared - just the links to the ON24 sessions you must register for (which include downloadable PPTs) alongside the labs I encourage others to freely use/share (and a Rocky Linux version of the Fedora setup that still lists Fedora throughout ;-).

Whether you can reuse/share the PPTs from each ON24 session you attended, well that's more a question for Stephen :)

Good morning everyone, I have enjoyed the Linux + V8 TTT course as well. I have the Linux Essentials Certification and have used UNIX before and Linux to an extent for Database Administration in the Military. But, I have learned so much from this course and thanks for putting this together. I had finished all the videos in the series and look forward to getting the voucher to test.
