Hey @Jill West! Thanks for the shout out during session 4 on my LinkedIn post.

Here is the link for everyone else.

No word. The new administration has heard how popular Partner Summit has been, so fingers crossed, it will get added back to the roadmap at some point.

Well, if they need to hear from the community at large, I'm pretty sure folks like me and others can raise the volume up to a level that would make R. Lee Ermey, Sam Kinison, or just about every metal band in existence proud.

Wish I could be there. Maybe one of these years, I'll get out for a DefCon.

Since we're talking conferences tho... any talk about getting Partner Summit back on the board?

It was awesome class indeed.

I didn't think you were a student, but as a freelance instructor, the situation becomes a bit more complicated. The CompTIA slides are part of the CertMaster courses, so they generally would not be available for use outside of that platform.
If you are considering using CompTIA's training platform, you may want to explore becoming a CompTIA partner yourself. This would provide access to the official training materials, along with a variety of high-quality labs and other resources that are integrated into the curriculum for students.
Other organizations would not be able to share copyrighted CompTIA materials for use in an independent freelance business.

That said, we have a few experienced freelance instructors within CIN who may be willing to share how they approach training material development and content delivery in their own businesses.

Great news.

I have never used CompTIA for certifying my high school students. However, TestOut was good (in my opinion) so here I am. What are the pro's and con's for those of you with experience doing so with CompTIA? Does the training provided align with the certification exam? What is your typical pass rate? Do you have someone (like a Rep) I can contact for pricing? Or this there an online form to request a Quote? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

I actually used TestOut in my training along with the CompTIA Certmaster for a couple of years before they were acquired. Since the aquistion they've gotten even better and it's also a great way to use in sections when you need a refresher on something.

Is the school a CTE school?

I'd love to do it since I do it here, but too bad I'm not in the Philippines.

Thanks for the honest feedback. I completely understand, and I know this was my mistake.
I'm still a fairly new CIN member and had only attended the Sneak Peek session, so I wasn't familiar with how the vouchers were distributed in the past.

Reach out to your CompTIA rep from your training organization and see if they can help you with a voucher.

Hi @Stephen Schneiter , I just sent an e-mail with the same request. I have NOT gotten the welcome e-mail from CIN for the AI Fundamentals with the access code for the course in CompTIA. I changed my e-mail on CIN last week, but still did not get the welcome e-mail. Could you please send it to me at [email protected]? I have attended all sessions of the AI Fundamentals with @Jill West Thank you!

@Stephen Schneiter: I am in the same situation as @MaryBriody, I have not received the access code. My email address is [email protected]

Hi Bien,

It happens to the best of us. Get distracted with this or that, shifting priorities, life events, adulting, etc. Not sure they'll be able to help with a new voucher, but don't let those people get to you. We all make mistakes. Even they do. Good luck on the CySA+ exam!

Thanks so much for your kind words jaredrdouglas. I really needed to hear that. You're right, life has a way of getting in the way sometimes. I appreciate the encouragement and perspective. Thanks again for taking the time to reply, it means a lot.

I thoroughly enjoyed the exam, personally. I felt it properly tested the material and was engaging. While I didn't score a perfect 900 lol, I still passed first go at it. Thanks to Stephen and CIN for offering such an awesome TTT!
