Anyone having issues where when they register, session 1 doesn't come through via email for verification? Sessions 2,3, and 4 come through. They are still in December correct?

It was great! I'll rewatch it again when I get a moment. They went over a lot of info. Take care, Rick!

Hello all.

Just joined the site and was wondering if there are any slide sets available to instructors? I have navigated around the site but have only found the TTT series lessons. According to CompTIA this site is suppose to provide access to a multitude of learning aids that we can utilize in the classroom, but I have not been able to locate them.

Appreciate the assist.

So, general slide decks for teaching courses are not available through the CIN - you would get those through whomever your content publisher is, your CompTIA Business Development manager if you're using CompTIA content, or you'll have to construct your own, based on your requirements. We don't recommend using TTT slides for your course, as the TTT audience is established instructors who are delivering content to their students.

Can't remember from where I horked the image, but I suppose if you Google "computer repair hourly rate t-shirt", you'll hit about 30 different Etsy sites...

I taught boot camps for 20+ years. With the amount of lectures, labs, practice quizzes, and exams, I couldn't possibly fit all the content into a 40-hour boot camp. So, I skipped all the labs and practice quizzes/exams on focused on the lecture and demonstrations. My goal was to ensure the learners understood the theory of how things worked, and gave demonstrations on how to do them. I assigned the labs and quizzes/exams as outside homework.

This is why I absolutely detest pre-recorded videos like Udemy or Professor Messer. The students gain nothing useful by mindlessly watching 30 hours of video where the trainer regurgitates facts. They get no comprehensive understanding of the theory, nor hands-on activities.

I haven't heard anything back yet from the email I've sent to [email protected]
Is there anyway to tell who my rep is? And perhaps contact them directly?
I believe that person may have changed a few times over the years and so I'm not sure who it is now.
We've been an academy partner for close to 20 years.
Or if anyone knows who the rep is for Western Canada, I would super appreciate a contact name and email.

I suggest sending this request directly to @Stephen Schneiter and he may be able to assist you in determining your CompTIA rep.

Hi CINners, yes, I am hoping that I can have both Core 1 and Core 2 vouchers go out together. I am hoping the Data team can do this in the next couple of weeks. Again, thank you for your patience! I will post updates in this thread as I hear about the progress of the distribution.

Waiting for …

Thanks @BrianFord. Looking to deliver some of the basic certs up to Sec+ for my organization. I just started the process of getting some info from CompTIA to become a training partner. I appreciate the guidance. Just want to make certain I don't miss anything for the benefit of my students

I seem to remember a couple questions that had the NIST publications identified in the answers. Can't give you a lot of details, since it's been a little while and I've had my head down on so many other things as of late. However, knowing the relevant NIST certs, to me, is a good thing always.

imsrj.cse,

So I imagine you are running the course so that students work through the reading and practice on their own time and your ILT meetings are focused on the labs.

In that learning environment I'd suggest taking some time at the start of the day and after lunch to introduce topics covered in the labs. I call this 'Connecting the dots'. This is critically important to both learning the technology and passing the exam.

If I might ask how do you envision working through labs with students? Will you 'drive'; leading students through the lab that you display from your station? I find that helpful at the start of a cohort as many of my adult learners are let's say 'timid' in an online lab environment. OK. They're afraid. If I walk through a lab at the start I require that learners help direct me. After the first several commands I'll ask 'what do I do next?' or 'how do I get to the next step?'. This help me identify who won't have a problem with the labs. I then go over the roster and try to identify who I didn't hear from so I can draw them out by calling on them later.

I try to have a learner or a small team of learners drive in later labs. I try not to pick just one person. I'll ask two or three learners to lead a walk through. Multiple learners working together seems to move faster and avoids the uncomfortable situation were one person might get stuck.

I'd also suggest having a brief lab synopsis ready to deliver. Some of the labs (vulnerability assessment and packet capture/analysis) cover key concepts and are important to connecting those dots.

I'd also suggest assigning a few labs as homework to be completed outside of ILT and then go over important points or the questions that are asked after the labs completed.
