CIN TTT Series: AI Essentials and AI Prompting Essentials

@Stephen Schneiter and @Nicholas Pierce
Regarding the AI Essentials and AI Prompting Essentials courses, I do not see the option to take the assessment. Like Mr. Pierce, I am a professor and keep my CompTIA certification account separate from my CompTIA institution account. I would prefer to take the assessment on my personal account, as my full first and last name are on it, rather than on my institution account. I had to change this since the SSO was implemented. Under My Assessments, there is a Contact Support button, but I noticed it shows mailto:[email protected], which I’m not sure is an option or active.

Would you be able to help me with this so I can take the assessment? I’m not sure if others are having issues, mine for a fact is not showing :(

Also thank you because @Stephen Schneiter knows how popular he is ;) I wanted to say thank you for all your hard work and patience especially when I'm taking the Linux CIN TTT courses and watched the videos, telling him I have the content and I promise I'll do it on my institution account. Spinal fusions are fun haha. I can't wait for the voucher and then I finally get my break soon! YAY!

CIN TTT Series: AI Essentials and AI Prompting Essentials

@Stephen Schneiter can we get the pretty badges 😍 I noticed after AI essentials it gave me the picture of the course and not the round one that says the name of it on the CompTIA website, checking to see if we can add that in, unless its under certifications, but I doubt it. Mine went through badgr, but if we are allowed to use the CompTIA logo for it in our emails or anything I would like to do that, I wanted to ask before I broke any rules. Also AI essentials was amazing, almost done with prompting! Awesome TTT series and I really enjoyed it!

Has the Official CompTIA Instructor/Student Guide eBook been replaced by CompTIA CertMaster Study?

That's too bad because most students don't like CertMaster at all. CompTIA is pushing people towards other providers.

I've talked to a couple other authors and providers out there - and they're actually quite alright with that. :)

That's correct. As CompTIA phases in updates to certifications, their offerings for traditional eBooks are being phased out. Tech+ and Net+ were the first, but with each new release, those offerings will be unavailable for the new certs.

If you are in need of a traditional textbook, yet, you'll have to look at products from publishers like Cengage, Pearson, Sybex, or McGraw Hill. There are a number of authors that follow this community that are still out there writing.

Question for you- I know this may seem like a simple question, but I think one day, I showed up about 20 minutes late, so I would need to make it up.... but I'm not sure. Do you know where we can check to see if we hit the requirements needed for the certificate of attendance?

It was a great course! I agree! :)

Yes just go to the same url from the live stream email reminder & login to watch. At the bottom look for the yellow gold prize icon and see what the timer says. If you were there long enough it has a green download button. If not just rewatch until the green button shows up.

I know, for me, as a staunch non-conformist and contrarian, I have often said, "I'm so done with Windoze - I'm going Linux". And there are points where I have tried to make that conversion, with the belief that there's nothing I can do with Windows that I cannot get done with Linux.

Except that's not entirely true. Or perhaps it is, but to get there requires an investment of time and energy that I simply don't have to replicate the same results in a Linux environment that I could quickly do with MSFT. MSFT has counted on this for decades as their way of holding onto control of the enterprise endpoint as well as various services out there. Pay them money and get things done quicker, versus having to slog through man pages and communities (or now, ask AI) to get things done.

Maybe this is one of those "Well, GIT GUD" things.

I do think everyone in the MSFT ecosystem can and should get better with Linux technology. And while Linux is predominantly running cloud workloads, even on Azure, not to mention Mariner being the underlying architecture for Azure Kubernetes, Windows isn't going away anytime soon.

Window$ is here to stay (for now...), but I can tell you 100% I have found very little I would ever need Microsoft technologies anymore except at work by force (with their required apps and services).

OS: Ubuntu or Rocky Linux
Desktop Publishing: Only Office (we really stopped using any MS Office products and haven't needed to look back).
If we need Adobe products (we use a Mac or Mac emulator)
DB: PostgreSQL or MySQL
Mail: Google
Datacenter: Proxmox/VMware/Nutanix
Cloud: AWS/GCP/VULTR/DigitalOcean

Everything else is 100% OS agnostic and way easier on Linux anyway for our DevOps stuff (Gitlab, Github) and cybersecurity tools all run 100% native on Linux anyway.

I really think unless your a Microsoft shop and using Azure, there is no reason to use Windows unless their is a technical reason. We have saved countless thousands every month not running Windows on any lab or dev environments anymore.

How to Watch Past Teach The Trainer (TTT)

Rick Butler said:
Tracey: The Resources area, for the moment, is pretty much offline for the moment. I know that Stephen is working on trying to get it back up.

Meanwhile a little shortcut: If you go to https://gateway.on24.com/wcc/eh/1119137/comptia-certifications and click on the top corner where it says, Categories, you'll get a drop down of all the TTTs that have been posted in the Resources area for CompTIA. You'll have to register for them, but it does provide a good list of the links to the sessions.

Hope this Helps
