An interesting topic, and one that truly interests me, given I'm now on the sidelines of workforce development through retirement. Of particular interest is the bulleted item: "How not all jobs will disappear, but every job will change."

I've made a point of periodically reviewed the content of the r/layoffs sub-reddit forum just to see how people that have had the misfortune of loosing their job feel about the impact of AI in the workplace. Many of the postings were from people in the technology field, and to some extent they blame AI.

Be on the lookout! I heard that the Data+ vouchers will be sent out via email tomorrow, Wednesday, February 18th.

@Stephen Schneiter, I didn't get the Data+ V2 voucher, as I have an email discrepancy. Can you take a look into this for me, please?
p.s. I sent you an email prior.

Dear @Stephen Schneiter ,

Thank you so much for approving our instructor, we're learning so much through the valuable resources in CIN. Just wanted to ask you on the status of other 5 instructors of us which their account is currently pending for your approval, if you want I can share their names and other detail with you? I hope they get their accounts approved ASAP.

The leaderboard at Brain Wave Technology Services Co. decided to enroll all instructors even those with lower level certifications in to the lates SecAI TTT, at least they will get familiarized with Certmaster labs and .... if not with the technical knowledge of TTT itself.

Thank you so much for everything, so excited to be part of this amazing community.

For the next CIN The Pulse session, get ready for an intriguing discussion with Linda Brooks-Rix, co-CEO of AVUE and CompTIA’s James Stanger. Linda is a recognized authority regarding federal human capital management and has been a resource for the Wall Street Journal, the Washington Journal, the Huffington Post, and members of the United States Congress. Over the years, she has implemented technical and AI solutions for the U.S. federal government. She will share her experiences with AI implementation. Linda and James will investigate the rapidly-shifting value shifts that are taking place today in the face of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI). In their conversation, they will draw lessons from Linda’s experiences, and use case studies to outline:

Forces that have been in motion for decades, and what they mean to AI and AGI
Perceptions about the ‘shunning / tioning’ of the workforce
The ramifications of AGI, and the most advanced technology we can provide as humans
Why organizations “backtrack” on their AI implementations, and how this can be avoided
How not all jobs will disappear, but every job will change
Durable skills we can hone in the age of AI/AGI
How tomorrow’s techs can negotiate the inevitable

As an instructor, I enjoy the sneak peek almost as much as the TTT's in that it spends a good amount of time showing where the focus has shifted from the previous versions.

My college has been considering CySA+, and this refresh might be just what we need to get that ball rolling.

Great! Thank you for the feedback @Bruce Weaver! Good to know the CIN Sneak Peek fits in with instructors.

We are already underway planning webinars for the year, which will include series covering SecAI+, AutoOps+, CySA+, DataSys+, Security+, and SecOT+, just to name a few! We are also looking to welcome CIN's 10,000th member!

This community would not be where it is today without you!! Your participation and interest keep the community alive! In this holiday season, we wish you the very best and hope you have a great 2026!

I’ve officially decided to level up my technical foundation by diving into the CompTIA A+ certification! This isn't just about passing an exam; it's about mastering the "how" and "why" of the hardware and software that keep our world running. I'm documenting my progress here to stay accountable and share the highs and lows of troubleshooting my way to professional expertise.

I’d love to tap into the collective wisdom of this community. To those who have cleared the A+ or are currently working in IT support: What is the one piece of advice or study resource you wish you had when you started? Whether it’s a specific lab strategy or a tip for tackling the networking domain, I’m all ears!

My experence is different from another
1. Get your certification
2. use the trobuleshooting methodlogy as a model .
3. use the internet as an assistance to check for any issue
however there are many people in our community that have wild experence thtat can contribute .

And just to add to what Greg said here - CompTIA used to have a Certified Technical Trainer credential, which was discontinued a few years ago. Personally, I'd love to see some kind of Instructor credential return, but for now, the best we can hope for is "a certified professional who teaches CompTIA certification courses." - an often thankless job that is also, sadly, credential-less.

Cheers

As a current MCT, I would say you already qualify as an instructor. Taking and passing at least one CompTIA certification will be the next logical step. A shame the CTT+ certification, which I hold was discontinued.

All you have to do to be a CompTIA instructor is pass a CompTIA certification exam and teach the course.

That's it. Nothing else.

you just have the certification of any comptia courses eg CompTIA A+
