Do You Report Cheating?

Hey everyone, happy Tuesday! So I was teaching a DataSys+ class last week and there are some security topics in the course. This being a military group, I knew that they had most likely done a Security+ at some point and mentioned that they should have seen some of these topics on their Security+ exam. One of the students relayed to me that he thought the exam was so much easier now than it was years ago when he first took it. I asked when he took it and he said just a few months ago. I asked more about his experience on the exam and he said that these days all you have to do is memorize the questions in the test bank because they're practically the same questions as on the exam. I asked more about the test bank he (and another student who was in his same Sec+ class) used and he went on to describe the VCE Player that is commonly used with braindumps. He also said that when he had a difficult question on the exam, he simply raised his hand and the instructor would sit there and go through the question with him. The instructor was not only proctoring the exam, but also helping students out during the exam.

After the class was over, I talked to the owner of another training company that I knew does business with this group and he said he had already reported it to CompTIA, but CompTIA seems to be saying they can't do anything without any sort of hard evidence and apparently isn't going to do anything about it. So my question is, should I even bother reporting this to CompTIA if they're not going to do anything anyways? All I have is what students told me about their experience. No physical, hard, concrete evidence. Does CompTIA actually care about cheating, or so long as a training company brings them a lot of business they don't really care about how they get the students to pass the exam? What would you do?

5380 mins instructional time.

I'm about to deliver the combined A+ Core 1 and 2 (1201/1202) course.


According to the pacing guide, the course allocates 5,380 minutes of instructional time for the 5-day schedule, which works out to roughly 90 hours.


Has anyone delivered this course yet? I'm struggling to see how all the content can fit into the time allocated.
Core 1 for one week, and Core 2 is supposed to be for one week as well.

The vouchers for comptia a+

I was wondering if the vouchers for the A+ had been delivered yet since the TTT ended?
Hi Eddy, not yet. If I remember correctly, there was a communiqué from Stephen on the platform saying he would give us an update once the CompTIA Data team has finished consolidating the information

VIRTUAL TRAINER /ON LINE TRAINER

I am a virtual Trainer who trains across borders I recently completed the train the trainer Webinar as they did promise vouchers which are due A+ 1201 and 1202.

I have the Cloud+ver 4 I have cysa + I have Project+ as well AND also CTT+. I Exam prep guides I give to delegates who do my sessions.

MY rates are very reasonable. My sessions can be recorded if need be.

Certmaster Learn or Certmaster Perform?

I'm not sure I'd use Teams for that - probably would defer to Zoom, since it's more platform agnostic than other conference platforms. Plus, the feature set is a mite bit more developed than Meet or Teams. Google Meet is pretty streamlined. MSFT Teams is just very bloaty - shouldn't take near 1GB RAM to run a meeting.

Regarding Tech+ class

I haven't taught Tech+ since it changed over from ITF+, but the principles are basically the same. The idea is to create an exam that bridges the gap between a computer power user and an entry level IT specialist. The skills are basic - in fact, I took the exam back in 2021, cold turkey, just to see. What I experienced was many times when I was over-engineering or over-thinking a question, having been in the field for a few years. :)

It's a good course though and one of the first ones to be adopted into the CertMaster Perform platform.

Regarding New CompTIA courses

???
Courses Available:
- check the Comptia Website or the Store.
Also you can review old TTT in the On24 Sessions.

Courses in Planning:
You only see the Exam Objectives

Hope that helps to answer your Question.

Certmaster Learn or Certmaster Perform?

Hey Tony, i might need more details, but if it's online, I'd suggest Teams (because it's been available for quite a while and has a lot of features you will enjoy, including AI summaries and all),
If you are looking at simplicity, I'd suggest google meet (it runs on the browser easily and most of ur users can access easily - also comes with AI features and all)
