A+ Instructor Mentor/Instructor Required

Jonathan Davies said:
We have a mature student who is looking to receive some one-to-one support with CompTIA A+ (and then Security+). Initial requirement is 1 hour per week for 4 weeks.

We are launching some new products in the next couple of months that will also require one-to-one support in a similar format.

Would suit someone looking to earn some additional income and really make a difference to a great student!

We are based in London, UK but work can be completed remotely.

Have you reached out to any training brokers like TTA (the Training Associates), Alliance Micro, the Judge Group, or any others?

I've been a contract instructor, off and on, since 2007. You need to network as much as you can, with training brokers, training centers, etc.

Also, diversify your training options. I'm certified to teach 14 different CompTIA classes, but I also hold the CISSP, CISM, CCSP, CCSK, Microsoft certs, project management certs, and several other certs. I'm currently working on adding AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Associate to my list of certs.

Hi Greg, thanks for the useful reply! If you recall any other training companies or brokers to add the 3 you suggested, that would be great! Thanks again!

Security+ CEU's

Gregory Childers
1. The CEU fee is $150 to renew for three years. I have no idea why CompTIA decided to sell it in $50 1-year increments.
2. The CertMaster program only applies if it covers the objectives for the NEXT VERSION of the cert. You CANNOT use CertMaster if it is the same version as your current cert. Continuing education means learning something new.
3. Never wait until the three-year time limit is close to expiration because it severely limits your options on how to renew. Most of my CompTIA certs are good through 2028 to 2031. I get all my CEUs out of the way as early as I can and then pay the fee, and CompTIA adds on an additional three years.
4. Higher level CompTIA certs in the cybersecurity track automatically renew lower level certs. SecurityX renews CySA+/PenTest+ which renew Security+ which renews Network+ which renews A+.
5. CompTIA also accepts other approved vendor certs. I used my ISACA CISM to renew my SecurityX, and everything underneath it.

Well greetings @Joel Mayberry! Yes, you have been a CINner for quite awhile! WOW! CSA+ V1, that was our very first TTT series! That brings back memories! We have come a long way! 🎉

So, let me look. The platform actually tracts status by number of posts or amount of activity in the platform. ;) I will see how it can be adjusted.

Hi @ChrisChavez, I think you want to reach out to the Products team with this question. When you log into the CertMaster Platform, click on the ? button in the upper right corner. They will respond to your request pretty quick, and have a better answer for you.

I’m proud to share that I’ve just passed SecAI. This achievement would not have been possible without the incredible support of Stephen. Thank you so much, Stephen, for guiding me through this journey. It was a tough exam, I was close to being taken down but I pushed through and made it.

Security+ CEU's

Z
Bruce Weaver said:
I advise when the 3 years are nearly up for this student that they use CertMaster CE for Security+. Short answer: Do the short course, and you get 3 more years. As for the CEU route, it is a good deal of work to save approximately $50 USD. They pay the $150 and yes they do have to submit qualifying activities in addition to the payement. As for an outside CE program, unless they charge her for the CertMaster CE (at a higher rate obviously) yes they would still owe the $150 CE fee. (This also assumes that this activity provides enough CEUs -Continuing Educcation Units)!
Here is the CE page you will want to examine: https://www.comptia.org/en-us/certifications/continuing-education/


Keep in mind this student should NOT try and do the CertMaster CE until their certification is somewhat close to expiring. I suggest 6 months before at most. Their is no CE path from 701 to MORE 701. She will need to wait until the 801 exam is released at minimum.

Details from https://www.comptia.org/en-us/certifications/security/#buy-now

Renew your Security+ certification quickly and efficiently with CertMaster CE. This self-paced eLearning course builds on your existing knowledge and aligns with the latest exam objectives. It allows you to renew your certification without retaking the Security+ exam. You are eligible to take this course if you passed Security+ V6 (SY0-601) and your certification has not yet expired.
  • Single activity renewal: Complete one course to automatically renew your certification.
  • Efficient learning: Fulfill Continuing Education requirements in just 8 to 10 hours.
  • Automatic renewal: Enjoy hassle-free certification renewal upon course completion.
  • Year-long access: Study anytime with 12 months of training, redeemable within 12 months of purchase, through CompTIA Central.
Hope this helps!
