Linux+ V8 TTT Series by Jasson, I enjoyed it.

Completed Linux+ TTT with @jasoneckert!
What an amazing experience learned how to:
Keep online sessions engaging
Make self-paced courses interactive
Put practice first, theory second
Stay positive and resourceful


Thanks, Jason, for sharing your time and expertise!

Has the Official CompTIA Instructor/Student Guide eBook been replaced by CompTIA CertMaster Study?

Today, I visited the CompTIA Store to purchase the Network+ Instructor Guide eBook, but I found that this product is no longer available in the store. I noticed a new product, CompTIA Network+ CertMaster Study, priced the same as the original eBook, and it’s the same for other courses as well. Can someone explain this to me? If I want the official slides for instructors, which are typically included in the Instructor Guide eBook, where can I purchase or access them now?

Linux+ V8 TTT Series by Jasson, I enjoyed it.

Thank you so much for the kind words - I’m glad you found the TTT series valuable and that you highlighted those key takeaways! It was an honor to work with everyone in the group. Looking forward to seeing how everyone brings their own style and expertise into their own sessions!
It's true; I will have the chance to learn new styles and adopt some interesting ones from others as well.
Thank you again for introducing me to an interesting method. Practical first and Theory second. I have applied to my current session of CEH.
I got the result as expected. I will apply it in my self-paced courses too.

TTT Security+

If you view the on-demand sessions for the Security+ TTT series, you will be able to print a Proof of Attendance certificate for each session. You can use that as professional development proof if your employer requires it. You can also use it as CEU credit for updating your certifications.
Oh wow! That's a great idea!!!

CompTIA quiz lockout features

Question, in TestOut when a student was taking a quiz, they were not allowed to open another TestOut tab without kicking them out of the exam. I realized today that while students were taking a quiz, one student had 4 CompTIA tabs open. 1 to launch the exam, 1 to take the exam and the other 2 the student was scrolling through the curriculum, looking up answers.

Does CompTIA have the functionality to not allow them to open other CompTIA tabs while taking an exam?
I am pleased to see the student was using the actual content to look up answers, rather than blindly pasting into a LLM for the answers.
We use Safe Exam Browser at my college, which eliminates many of these issues, but students will always seek a workaround.

Linux+ V8 TTT Series by Jasson, I enjoyed it.

I have finished my training of the Linux+ TTT series with Jason this week. It was awesome. I have been delivering training on Linux, Networking, Cybersecurity, and Penetration Testing since 2014. I learned the following things from @jassonesckert .

1.) How can you engage students in an online session for 2 hours? It seems easy after this TTT series.
2.) Make an interactive session in Video tutorials (self-paced course).
3.) Practical First and Theory second. It seems a 3-5-time revision of the same topic. it is interesting.
4.) Always has a smiley face.
5.) Make available self-made resources.

Thank you, Jasson, for giving your valuable time in this TTT series.

Theory vs. Labs: Which One Do You Never Skip?

I just noticed how every trainer has a different ‘teaching style’ when delivering A+ or Network+. Some go deep into theory, others focus on troubleshooting labs. If you had to pick, what’s the one thing you never skip in your training sessions?
You'll hardly understand anything until you do it practically

CIN TTT Series: Linux+ V8

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.

You can still access it, using the same link in your email you use before. I just did.
