I think having the labs is a good thing. This provides the instructor with the ability to choose what labs to offer in class or assign for students to work on their own or leave them as optional. Labs are a great way to get experience with the topics covered. I think having a lot of labs with the ability to choose which ones to focus on is a great option, and provides flexibility for courses that may have extra time or students that need extra work.

@imsrj.cse thanks for sharing the feedback. You can share feedback or report errors to the Product Development team right inside the platform itself. Simply click on the "?" button in the top-right corner, expand the "Request Enhancement" section and click General Feedback. They appreciate your feedback and suggestions.

@imsrj.cse, I have commented in other discussions that I really like to use CompTIA CertMaster Practice as my study tool to prepare for certification exams. I like the way you focus on either full practice test or look at a group of questions down to a particular domain. It really helps me know where I need to focus on review and study. To me I would rather spend the time on labs and review of material where I know I need the most work.

Everyone has different takes on what works the best. This is just what I find works for me. Good Luck on the exam!

Hi Team,

I'm looking for a Certified instructor to run CompTIA NW+ class sometime in late October.
Please email Kimberly Shelton [email protected] if you are available. This would be tentative based on enrollments.
Can I ask this request on this discussion board?

You certainly can. When you post these, it's a good idea if it's an online or on-ground engagement. /r

OK thank you!

When one attends the TTT sessions does one get a voucher for the corresponding exam or is a voucher that can be used on any CompTIA exam?

It's a voucher for the exam covered by the TTT

The Linux Professional Institute has free, online resources for its Linux Essentials and LPI-1 exams

Hey Cinners,

I remember sometime in the past, that there was an ITPro TV training option. Does that still exist and if so, how can I access it? I'm currently training our Cybersecurity Information Specialist course which comprises A+, Net+, Security+, Linux+, Python and some specific Cybersecurity modules. I'd like to take this ITPro for a spin as I will need to step away from training for a few days and need my students to continue with lessons.

Thanks in advance for your assistance.

Is it possible to take remote control of CompTIA Labs on this platform.comptia.org

Hello imsrj,
I'm not sure what you are trying to accomplish or your class setting, but you could impersonate the student you are trying to help

Hi everyone,


I’m currently preparing for the CompTIA Network+ (N10-009) exam and I’m very interested in building my hands-on skills through labs. I wanted to ask you, what are the recommended tools and software for building labs and practicing the exam objectives?

Thank you

I would recommed using Cisco Packet Tracer or GNS3

That is very strange that you get the session 3 reg page but it takes you to session 2 on-demand. I just tried it, and it does go to session 3 on-demand on my end. So, I think you have a good plan, trying it from home. Let me know how it goes. I did check reporting and it looks like there have been a lot of folks who viewed session 3 on-demand. This is the first comment on it not working.

So, I would blame work! Good excuse to say you need to go home and test something.

The registration page comes up fine. It's from there that it gets... lost. I'm thinking I'll try again from home so that I'm on a completely different network.
Thanks for the advice.

Using that link, I get session two. I think my coffee's broken. Am I the only one? I even tried going back to the registration page filling in the form again etc....

Very interesting! I just clicked that link and went to the session 3 registration page. It could be your computer needs a shot of espresso! Try to clear you cache and refresh your browser. Or, you could try in another browser.

I'm looking for the new Version8 exam guide and study resources for Linux+ V8. I haven't had success finding study guides or even logging into the new partner portal!

Does anyone have a link to where I can go to grab this information for students?

You have the CompTIA CertMaster training products, and you can reinforce what you learned by utilizing the Udemy practice tests 540 questions with feedback. I have not found a quality book as of yet. I hope this helps.

Greetings all,
I'm trying to find the session 3 on-demand recording and all I'm coming up with is session 2 ...am I missing something or do I just need more coffee or both?

Click to expand...

Coffee! That is also a great place to start! You should be able to use the same link for the live session to access the on-demand session. When you registered for the series, you should have received a separate link for each session.

If you cannot find the link in your inbox, this link will take you directly to session 3, however, you will have to fill out the registration form again for the session. https://event.on24.com/wcc/r/5041686/5D1944E412E8ACFCAB4B886DD5EBF76D

Hope this helps!

Hello @jvolquezm and welcome to our community! There are some built-in assessments in the CompTIA Certmaster platform that can be used as a pre and post-assessment. While I am not in the classroom now, when I was I utilized the CompTIA CertMaster Practice tool. That is a customizable, standalone practice test tool used to help make sure you are ready to sit for the exam. It can be used as a pre-assessment as well. However, there have been a lot of changes to the CertMaster platform content, and I believe you will have some of these assessments already built into your curriculum. I would recommend having a conversation with your CompTIA Customer Success rep, who can demo some specific tools for you to see what would fit best with what you would like to do with your students.
