Good morning you CIN'ers from across the sphere. Summit is on us and your Fedora sporting Agent is here to capture some of it for you all that cannot be here. Watch these threads through the day.

But before we start, some of you need to be in the Fitness Center with me. While some are running or doing some...Tai Chi...?!

No, y'all...it's time for some morning pain.

Come get some.

To add on to that, there are some folk out there that would love to see it come back. Certifications, however, also come with a Return on Investment for CompTIA and CTT didn't make the cut with the number of people testing vs. the costs.

So, if there were a lot of folk, say out of this community, that would like to see it come back, I'm sure we could demonstrate a demand.

I think if CTT (or the like) were on a three year expiration/CE, that would probably help...if enough instructors and training houses found it valuable

But it does have to be in CompTIAs interests too, since they have to invest in development, marketing, and maintainance of any cert on the books.

I would say that I tried to please everyone in the beginning. Remember that they are there for you first and then you can be there for them as they need it. I also didn't know things in the beginning or how to word things so I practiced to myself and made instructor notes that I added to over the years. Roman wasn't built in a day, neither will your teaching and style. I have developed a way to make sure the student can get the word, definition, and ways it applies (If any). Most need hands on but you can turn them into visual learners overtime if you can show them things. Patience is the key, active listening, and being there role model even if they fail a cert the first time. They really do at times just need an ear to listen, they know what to do.

Also, don't rush the material, you always have tomorrow since some areas are going to be longer than others. So take it smooth and in complete thoughts.

Don't worry about reviews. I hate them honestly but I tell students to do them logically...not emotionally. They could just randomly put things and scores and it could just been for one thing. So you will have a student now and then that hates everything because of one thing you didn't do. I teach them all the same. Lord knows we all been there...lol. I give my all know matter the student. They helped me with a job and are trusting me to help them get a job or career change. So I do all I can.

After all is said and done, treat yourself to a dinner and pay for someone else's that night. Every two weeks I did that as a ritual to relax, let tension go, and not get burnt out always doing the same thing over and over again.

I hope this honestly helps anyone, just some ramblings off a young-old man...lol.

For my friends across the pound...cheers.
