Looking for adjunct work

I have been in the IT field for over 20 years and in different industries. I hold a Network+ cert, as well as a few Microsoft certifications, including an Microsoft Certified Trainer. I've held training in-house for colleagues and sometimes short tips and tricks. I've always wanted to be an instructor in IT and now that I have my MCT I would like to begin part time. So aside from having my certifications, I would love the opportunity to instruct a class such as Network+ or A+, or any other Comptia course that I can easily get certified in.

PearsonVue / OnVue problems June 2024

What the absolute blazes is going on with Pearson Vue this month?

Two or three weeks ago they had a big service disruption which affected both OnVue and testing center exams. Everybody was getting kicked out of their exams.

And now on Reddit and Discord there's numerous mentions of waiting lines 100+ people deep, with test-takers waiting 1-3 hours before even starting their exams.


There's something really bad going on with PearsonVue and it reflects badly on CompTIA.

Someone needs to step up and provide proper communication and guidance.

Looking For DataSys+ Instructor

Please contact me today if you hold this current certification and are available to teach it. Thank you!

"Monitoring in AWS" Lab instructions need update

The instructions for the CASP+ lab "Assisted Lab: Configure Monitoring in the AWS Cloud" are no longer correct.
The instructions in the section "Use Cloudwatch Events to Alert on Changes" do not match the AWS UI.
Cloudwatch has been replaced by Event Bridge, and the lab instructions need to be updated.
I filed a support request with Skillable, however I don't know when or if this will be fixed, so I thought I should warn other instructors.
Not exactly right, CloudWatch Events is now called EventBridge. CloudWatch still exists.

CompTIA Partner Summit - Save the Date!!

I hope they will be understanding for the lead CINner! Who else would post the highlights of the conference like you do? Atlanta is a good destination for PTO!! Nice attractions, can catch a Braves game and visit the Aquarium! 😁😁
Well, fortune smiled and I'll be able to make Summit this year. Very thankful for this, as it has been a very hard year for me professionally, so getting back to see the good folks at Summit will be a major highlight.

Good Morning, hope this is going to be on line too because those that not attached physically can enjoy the benefit too
Summit was not broadcasted last year and I would probably guess it won't be this year. However, as with previous years, I'll run around with a camera and upload photos to the CIN community. Stay tuned to the board, as each day will have its own thread.

For example, you can have a look at last year's Summit:

ChannelCon / Partner Summit 2023
Tuesday: https://cin.comptia.org/threads/channelcon-and-partner-summit-2023-tuesday.1459
Wednesday: https://cin.comptia.org/threads/channelcon-partner-summit-2023-wednesday.1461/
Thursday: https://cin.comptia.org/threads/channelcon-partner-summit-2023-thursday.1462/

Also, last year, I started each day in the hotel gym. I think last year, they did a morning fun run, but for those of us who don't cardio that well, we'll be lifting. I hope to see some of you in there, hittin' the weights.

Contradicting information on CompTIA web site about Network+

With the TTT being run, the new Network+ will be available soon. However, I found some conflicting information on the CompTIA website and wanted to report it.

The Network+ page shows that the new version of the exam went live on June 20, 2024.


The page advertising for upcoming SME workshops shows a Network+ Exam Item Writing Workshop July 22-26, 2024.


Why would they schedule a Network+ Exam Item Writing Workshop for Network+ after the new exam version has gone live?

@Stephen Schneiter can you provide some clarity on this issue?

How do you display your student's certs?

I am wanting to do something for my students where I can display and celebrate their certification accomplishments. Just not sure what to do. Does anyone display your students cert achievements on campus?
One thing I used to do is have students take a photo next to the CompTIA banners with their certificates. I ran a blog and would post them on that, so folks could see as they earned them.

Our school now has a big sign that says "I DID IT!" with the cert title, which gets a photo and whisked off places of display or marketing materials.

Labsim - CertMaster Perform

Great point @Rick Butler - For the past 5 years, that has been an issue with TestOut LabSim - It is fabulous for simulations and it serves as a textbook (printable), but I've always requested purchase of the CompTIA Student Guides for a well rounded supply of information for learners to use. I appreciated the supply of the Instructor/Student guides as part of CertMaster TTT. So,, to add my voice to your question -- will CompTIA publish a new edition of Network+ Instructor guide and Student guide? And if so, will the instructor guide be added to the currently available instructional resources available under "Resources", Teaching Aids???
Hey Lyn: I am told that these materials are under development and we should see them, forthwith. One of the things that CompTIA started doing is creating a window by which materials were launched as they are developed.

I'm pretty sure we'll see them soon. :)
