I've completed the AI Essentials and the Prompting courses. While there isn't a certificate there is a final assessment and I believe the opportunity to earn a badge. The final assessment isn't at a testing center; it is from CompTIA and is a part of the course. That reduces the cost and I think the learners anxiety level. There isn't a path to a cert here. In my opinion these courses are more about learning in a rapidly evolving field of tech rather than proving that the learner can demonstrate some knowledge.

The challenge for instructors will be to facilitate learning. Working with learners individually and in small groups. I can see offering AI Essentials as a five meeting webinar or seminar where each meeting is 90-120 minutes long. The learners should be doing the reading and activities themselves. The instructors role will be to emphasize high points, answer questions, cover additional materials (web based AI tools like Gemini, NotebookLM, Midjourney, HeyGen, etc,...) , and facilitate discussions amongst the learners about the various topics raised. I hope that organizations purchase this CompCert for their members.

I find the list to be highly suspect because it includes the Certified Data Professional (CDP), but doesn't include the CISSP, CISM, or CCIE.

A+ won't get you a higher salary. It's a minimum requirement for entry-level jobs.

I signed up for the whole series, but I only received emails for 2, 3, 4, and 5. Sessions 1 and 6 did not arrive in my inbox.

There are only 5 sessions. Surprised me as well when I signed up so I double-checked. So used to even numbers.

Mine seems to be working fine but we have had multiple students reaching out because they are no longer able to access their content. A password reset has worked for a few but others are still experiencing issues. Some courses are asking my students to enter an access key even though their courses are active. This has been a terrible transition from CompTIA.

I think one of the worst changes (although this occurred sometime ago) is us instructors not having the ability to reset students passwords anymore.

I guess mine was from the SSO, my instructor account merged with my old college I worked at it is showing. I have some students on Security Pro where nothing is coming through, if they call the number for account merging, they are told to submit a ticket and its been a bit now so getting worried now. I've been overriding grades more than giving feedback D:

How are people signing into their instructor account or is it down because Cloudflare? I have my actual account for my certs and I HAD my instructor one and was told not to merge the two but I can't get into the instructor side of CompTIA D:

I passed the DataX certification exam this week, all thanks to the CIN Series. I re-watched the course videos and reviewed the Certmaster material. Those are the only study tools I used to prepare for the exam. Thank you, CIN!
