Hello, @MOHAMMAD SALAH. You need to contact your CompTIA Customer Success representative. They will activate your access to the portal's resources.

Does that mean the Instructor guide & Student guide are no longer available for the trainers when attending the TTT sessions?
With the codes that are usually there

I understand that vouchers are being sent out in batches, and I understand that Stephen Has a lot going on with all of the TTTs lately. I am looking for an update on how that process is going for the Network+ vouchers though, as I still have not received that one.

Same here. It is my understanding that I met all requirements. Please review my stats and let me know if I'm wrong so I won't continue to bug you guys!

Hello community,

What's the difference between passkeys being used for authentication
vs. public-key authentication?

That sounds great, @Eugene! If you find the video, definitely share it with me—I'd love to check it out for reference. In the meantime, I can start drafting the step-by-step guide and include some examples for using OpenSSL in the command prompt to verify certificates and protocols. Once I have a draft, we can go over it together and refine it. We can also brainstorm on how best to format the guide or video for everyone. Looking forward to collaborating on this

Sounds good to me.

Thanks for the suggestion @Eugene! I think creating a step-by-step guide or even recording a video on using the command prompt for OpenSSL and TLS certificate verification would be a great way to help everyone learn more effectively. It would cover verifying certificates, checking protocol versions, and ensuring secure connections. We could collaborate on this or You/I can put together a draft and we can refine it together. Let me know what you think!

I think could be a great idea, I was looking for a particular video I watched to so I could share it but will have to hunt for it.

@Gregory Childers That's a great approach—educating your classes about the proper use of TLS 1.3 and why it's more accurate than referring to SSL is important for keeping them up-to-date with modern standards.

SSL they say because people are familiar with that term but I agree should just call it TLS 1.3 on everything instead of saying it is SSL when it is not. I inform my classes about those kind of things.

I tell my classes that SSL was deprecated in June 2015, but they may still find references to it.

I know this is a necrobump, but A+ has changed quite a bit since 1999...

Would I ask a prospective instructor to take the entire course again? absolutely not! In fact, if an employer told me to take an entire A+ course, just to teach a course for that employer, I'd tell them thanks but no thanks, and withdraw my application.

the TTT would be nice, but that wouldn't be something I mandated... but it should be in the resources I profile him)

What I would do is require any new instructor to hold a current cert for the course they are going to teach (and GFL and ce certs are not the same). I'd provide the voucher so he wouldn't have to buy it himself, but no one should be teaching a course unless they have passed that exam. When I started in my current role, my director told me I needed to take the ITF exam to teach the course. I have ~20 years in IT... and passed the exam

here is my perspective: if he has 20 years of experience, and he is up to date on his knowledge, then he should have no issues passing the exam.

If he can't, do I really want him teaching a course for an exam that he couldn't pass?

Sounds like a company I was working for. They make you take ever cert over and over again and try to make the Train-the-Train mandatory which is why I pretty much left. Cost to much to get and they started going down hill anyway so I look for companies that accept me for what I can do for students.

For Precious maybe could link up and go through some commands some time or some. I would like to show more using the command prompt in verify those kinds of things.

What is a database schema?

A type of data storage device
A programming language
A type of software
The architecture of how a database is structured and organized

Explanation

A database schema is the architecture of how a database is structured and organized. It defines the tables, fields, relationships, views, indexes, and other elements within the database. A schema serves as a blueprint that outlines how data is stored, how it can be accessed, and how different data entities relate to each other.

What is the purpose of data modeling?
To help programmers and others understand the complex flow of data within an organization
To create new programming languages
To manage network security
To design hardware components

Explanation

The purpose of data modeling is to help programmers and others understand the complex flow of data within an organization. Data modeling involves creating visual representations of data structures and relationships, which can clarify how data is organized, stored, and used. This understanding aids in designing databases, improving data management, and ensuring that data meets business requirements.

What is the purpose of forms in a database?
To reduce data entry errors
To create new tables
To change database settings
To delete records

Explanation

The purpose of forms in a database is to reduce data entry errors. Forms provide a user-friendly interface for inputting data, ensuring that users enter information in a structured and consistent manner. By using forms, databases can enforce data validation rules, guiding users to input correct and complete information, which helps minimize errors during data entry

Which type of data is best stored in a relational database?

Random data
Structured data
Semi-structured data
Non-structured data

Explanation

The type of data best stored in a relational database is structured data. Relational databases are designed to handle data that fits neatly into tables with predefined schemas, making it easy to enforce data integrity and perform complex queries using SQL. Structured data typically includes numbers, dates, and fixed-length strings, which can be organized into rows and columns

precious · Oct 14, 2024

abiodun1991 said:
What does a relationship in a database do?

Connects two entities
Stores data
Deletes data
Creates a new database

Explanation

A relationship in a database connects two entities. It links data between tables based on common fields, such as primary and foreign keys. This allows the database to associate related information across different tables, enabling more complex queries and better organization of data.

abiodun1991 said:
What is non-structured data?
Data that is always numerical
Data that fits neatly into rows and columns
Correct Answer:
Data that doesn't have a clear order or pattern
Data that is always textual

Explanation

Non-structured data is data that doesn't have a clear order or pattern. Unlike structured data, which is organized into rows and columns (like in relational databases), non-structured data can include various forms such as text, images, videos, emails, and more. This type of data doesn't follow a predefined format or schema, making it more flexible but also more challenging to store and analyze.

What does a key in a key-value database represent?
A type of data
Correct Answer:
A unique identifier
A column
A table

Explanation

In a key-value database, a key represents a unique identifier. It is used to identify and retrieve a specific value or set of data stored in the database. Each key is paired with a corresponding value, and the key ensures that the value can be accessed quickly and efficiently.

precious · Oct 14, 2024

abiodun1991 said:
What can the value in a key-value pair be?
Only dates
Only numbers
Correct Answer:
Any type of data
Only words

Explanation

The value in a key-value pair can be any type of data. This could include numbers, strings (words), dates, objects, or even more complex data structures, depending on the database being used. Key-value databases are highly flexible and allow for storing various data types in a simple, efficient manner.
