Instructor

P
Information Systems of Maryland (ISM), LLC is seeking a CompTIA Instructor with an entrepreneurial spirit to join our growing team. ISM is a technology consulting firm that specializes in providing small, medium, large and public sector organizations with technology project solutions, security solutions and human capital services. To meet the increasing needs of our organization we are seeking an CompTIA Instructor that wants to take part in our success and become a key member of the company. We offer an exceptional compensation package and fast-tracked opportunity for growth. If you would like to learn more about ISM, please visit us on the web at www.is-md.com

We have immediate needs to sponsor and/or get our own personnel classroom trained and exam ready for A+ CE, Network+ CE and Security+ (full course).

A class participant openly has learning challenges and CANNOT do these in a virtual format, so we're looking for private 1:1 training and/or classroom group-based training to accommodate this.

Past these immediate needs, our company is in discussions of acquiring an existing training school in Virginia, who currently offers training in a totally different industry, and would be an excellent opportunity for us to bolt on CompTIA training capabilities, among some others we have desires of doing. If you are an instructor/educationalist at heart and want to teach other subjects, upon the completion of said acquisition, we would be more than open and happy to acquaint and credential instructors for the other training industry currently served.

If you are interested, please contact us by e-mail to get a conversation started, [email protected]

ATTENTION Everyone!!! This event is being postponed!! We just found out that there is a new version of CompTIA AI Essentials that will be released that this year. I am moving this TTT series later so that we can cover the latest content.

In addition, the TTT series will also cover CompTIA AI Interaction, which covers an in-depth, effective prompt creation. I will post the new date as soon as it is finalized. If you have already registered for the AI Essentials series, you will NOT have to register again.

My recommendation is to design and create your own labs/projects from scratch. For example, for Security+, I have designed 5-6 projects spread across a semester to build up students' hands-on skills, in addition to CertMaster labs. Project 0 involves students building their hacking lab in virtualbox/vmware, then subsequent projects use that environment to build their skills. I aligned the projects with various phases of the cyber kill chain. I also require students to participate in a CTF competition. You can draw inspiration from various books and online platforms, as well as leverage AI, if you need help with coming up with ideas for the exercises/labs.

I believe that external teaching materials (those not part of the official course) should only be used for supplementary purposes. Students should be aware that the topics covered may not be aligned with the certification requirements, not to mention the possibility that such approaches may be conducted in a "different" way than that established by the certification. And this is especially true for older labs and practical exercises! &;-D

The labs are a good way to reinforce the knowledge, but CompTIA doesn't test people on how to use the tools. They test on the concepts.

Any labs are good as long as they help reinforce the knowledge. Quite frankly, some vendors are better at writing study guides and creating labs than CompTIA.

Sounds like me a few years and decades back. I recall those days of operating on overload, with a full-time teaching load and adding additional teaching assignments. Thankfully, with retirement-related income, it's time to smell the roses.

For sure, Steve!

I completely agree with Rick that even older lab manuals still have a good value for learners. You could also let AI do some of the heavy lifting. For example, I had AI develop 5 scenarios with a broken windows installation, (BOOTMGR, BCD type issues for example) and had it create instructions for "breaking" the PC so that students could attempt repairs, then had it write a solution guide starting with hints for learners that get stuck. This got my creative juices flowing and gave me inspiration to write a few more scenarios involving malware and network issues.

Birthday Celebrant

I definitely do not think it is against the rules, but it is likely in the wrong forum. (CIN Open Forum may be a better choice)
I have never seen anyone use this platform for wishing students we will never meet a happy birthday, but I think it is really nice that you want them to feel recognized on their birthday..a sign of a caring instructor! I asked aimply because here in the US, it might be considered a privacy violation of the FERPA law as a form of PII depending on if the school designated birthdays as "directory information" or not.

But for more clarification, it is not my students. These are our members in the community that celebrating their birthday.
