Can you give more info on the OSCP and CPTS

CPTS is a practical and easy to grasp certification with flexible examinations, OSCP is considered to be hands-on full-on nitty-gritty for advanced penetration testers.

Always learning something new

This is interesting as the organisation I work for was told the lab access was an additional cost and was not included with the cert master learn?

Hi everyone-

I'm in the process of launching a new CompTIA A+ Training Program at a Minnesota based non-profit organization. We need to train 200 students over roughly 5 weeks (40 clock hours of training each week - 25 students per week - 1 week 'makeup' at the end.)

I'm curious if anyone has data or person experience regarding a sufficient hourly rate. This would be a contract role but is likely to be extended at the end of this initiative.

Let me know if you have additional questions - seeking someone with at least 1 or 2 years teaching experience (technical or otherwise,) is comfortable with remote instruction, and currently holds at least their CompTIA A+ certification.

Thanks! I can provide further details upon request.

Please folk apply

I also assume that pay rates will differ per region and sometimes per instructor.

My commercial training rate is around 100 EUR per hour, which is quite a bit higher than the mentioned 55.

Correct

Great feedback—there’s a lot to consider! My initial thought was to design this as a boot camp for students planning to take the certification exam. Participation would be optional, not a requirement for the class. The bootcamp could be held on Fridays, as there are no regular classes scheduled then. Students would need to bring their own computers because the college systems are configured to erase any installed software overnight.

The lead professor encourages students to form their own study groups, and based on the feedback received, this approach seems like the best option.

Thank you, Stephen! Yeah, everyone: I've been curious, lately, how folks are feeling about cyber ranges. What are your experiences, and what specific vendors do you use? And, to expand on our above questions just a bit, what features do you and your students appreciate?

TryHackme and HackTheBox are good.

There's also the practice CTF boxes from picoCTF by Carnegie Mellon University.

picoCTF - CMU Cybersecurity Competition

picoCTF is a free computer security education program with original content built on a capture-the-flag framework created by security and privacy experts at Carnegie Mellon University.

We don't have an internal cyber range, as the maintenance ain't something we can afford since Broadcom bought VMware; and there are now rumours in Reddit that Broadcom now plans to buy Proxmox

Good news! CISA has renewed its contract with MITRE, ensuring the continued operation of the CVE program. This essential resource, crucial for identifying and responding to threats worldwide, will continue to function thanks to this timely action. See link for more details:

CISA Provides Last-Minute Support to Keep CVE Program Running

The U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) has extended its contract with MITRE Corporation, ensuring the uninterrupted operation of the Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) program, a cornerstone of global cybersecurity that was hours away from losing federal funding.

There was an old book that I got when I was at UPhoenix called "Tools for Teams" which talked about the idea of Learning Teams. The general idea is that they would be student study groups, but would be mentored by an instructor. I think whenever they were promoted and 'believed in', they worked well.

To Tess' point, I'd say this is right. If the students don't organically make it happen, it won't be real enough to be useful. One of the best ones we had called themselves "The IntelliTards" - four in my CNST program that pushed each other through the A+. Got some very high marks. I wasn't involved in their group; they made it work. And it worked well.

So yes, organic groups work. Mandated ones, not so much.
