When will the CIN TTT Series: Linux+ V8 recorded sessions become available, and where?

It was a great series; unfortunately, I missed two sessions and look forward to making them up. Plus, I want to review several of the sessions.

Students Keep Asking for Social Media Postings

The best you can do it make it accessible. They have the responsibility to stay engaged. They have to meet you halfway.

OMG...this is a constant headache I deal with. They think I'm supposed to be Jim Rohn or Les Brown the motivational speaker every class. It's partly why I focus on online instruction via video now. It's soul draining at times with some students. I actually had a few students ask why videos can't be under 5 minutes and why training has to take over 30 days (so they can go pass the exam and get their $100,000 job). I mean...you can't make this stuff up.

What happened with the Tech Trainer options that were discussed in 2023?

Shea Bennett
I personally think it would have been a ridiculous requirement. I have taught at Universities as adjunct and at Community colleges and I do not think you need a CompTIA training certification to instruct students if you have graduate or undergrad degree's, CompTIA certifications and teaching experience.

Compcert Courses -- Where's The Beef

Totally agree, I would add if it was not for the Department of Defense DoD 8140 Cyber Workforce Qualification Program requiring both IT staff (Both contractors and employees) to obtain CompTIA and even ISC certifications, the demand would be half.

The DOD 8140 really keeps some of these crappy certifications alive. Their ridiculous requirements.

Compcert Courses -- Where's The Beef

I teach Linux+ two times a year, in a long extended class, but only because it's the most suitable option for my particular student demographic.

I would much rather help my students towards LFCS than Linux+. Ironically the resumé value for the two is very similar here in the EUW, but I like the LFCs exam and the Linux Foundation organisation a lot more. Some of my students self-study for Pentest+ because it's the only pentesting exam that does multiple choice, disregarding the behemoth that is SANS.

LFCS and RHCSA has also been a golden ticket for me as well. Our team actually finally started excepting Linux+ (BUT...only version 8). We have very low respect for multiple choice only exams. Those hires tended and has proven to be the most difficult to onboard and train up over hands-on learners.
