Questions Regarding A+ 1200 Series and CertMaster Learn

Hi @Joe Brown, I reached out the Product team and they have provided the responses below. You can also check out the CIN Instrucotr Toolbox we hosted earlier this year where we went into detail with the CertMaster content and discussed the features. You can find it on-demand here. https://event.on24.com/wcc/r/4889911/993E4AD3DA0CD7A1DE986E9E0B6BF259

The answers to your questions:
  • the outline is not the same - the ebook doesn't include labs or assessments, but CertMaster Learn does. The outline does follow the same flow of content, but CertMaster Learn has more assets than just the text you'd see in an ebook
  • There are assessments built into CertMaster Learn
  • There are labs built into CertMaster learn. They are directly in the outline and there isn't a dedicated "Labs" tab. You can filter by labs at the top of the outline.

Looking For CompTIA Training Instructors For Durham, NC

What Mark said about "CompTIA not certifying instructors" is correct. However, it’s worth noting that CompTIA previously offered a certification for instructors called CompTIA Certified Technical Trainer (CTT+). This certification was officially retired at the end of 2023, but those who earned it—myself included—hold it for life. So, technically, it can still be mentioned if relevant.
Thanks, that's good to know!

Wondering what type of organization you work for as a trainer

I have worked for training centers and as an independent contract trainer. I have traveled to all 50 of the states in the US, as well as DC and Puerto Rico. I've also traveled to six countries abroad. I've taught for local, state, and federal government. Health care, shipping/logistics, food services, manufacturing, defense companies, universities, community colleges, and school districts. I've taught in almost every industry and in most of the United States.

Looking For CompTIA Training Instructors For Durham, NC

Questions Regarding A+ 1200 Series and CertMaster Learn

Hello - I’ve been teaching A+ for the past few years and typically have students read the material, complete quizzes, and work through the assigned labs (with lab codes). However, the new 1200 series appears to be a bit different, and I haven’t had a chance to review all of the Train-the-Trainer (TTT) sessions yet—but I do plan to.

I have a few questions as I get up to speed:
  1. Is the "outline" considered the same as the E-Book/Textbook?
  2. I’m using CertMaster Learn—do I need to create custom quizzes, or are they provided?
  3. Where can I locate the labs?

I appreciate your help!

Requesting options for classroom textbook and lab for A+ and Net+

I joined the Instructor Network so that I can hopefully garner input for my program. I teach high school grades 9-12 and for years I have used Mike Meyers' Guide to Managing and Troubleshooting PCs (and Networks) in what they call the "split book" series, meaning there is a separate lab book containing chapters that correspond to the textbook. The lab was a step-by-step, hands-on guide that helped reinforce the material in the textbook. I'm now searching for something similar, as the publisher is discontinuing the "split book" series and is only printing the All-in-One series, and that won't work for students at the high school level.

I know that many high schools use learning modules to simulate working with hardware, but I prefer actually handing students a physical WAP/PC/switch/router for them to configure. With that in mind, is there another printed textbook / lab book series that anyone could recommend for my program? I prefer a book with end-of-chapter questions (multiple choice, essay, etc.) as well as lab scenarios. The books need to cover the 1201-1202 A+ series, as well as the N10-009 Net+ series. Thanks in advance!

  • Question
Proctoring CertMaster Competency Exam for student outside of LMS?

Hi, all.

I have a student who wants to study CertMaster Learn Network+ on their own and complete the competency assessment (which my school uses to award "prior learning" course credit). How would the student go about taking their proctored competency assessment without being in one of my classes?

Wondering what type of organization you work for as a trainer

Hello all. I'm trying to get an idea of the kinds of organizations that are employing CompTIA instructors. Apologies if I missed some blatantly obvious source of that information (someone please tell me if I did), but i really only have a vague idea of what kinds of organizations need CompTIA instructors.

My initial wild guess includes:

  • IT training companies
  • Corporations with large IT staff
  • Trade schools and career centers (I work for one of these)
  • Independent trainers
What am I missing? Is anyone willing to educate me here?
