Holy water...okay. Well, do be careful...lest you experience how caustic it is.

I'll have a first aid kit on stand-by.

I would say that I tried to please everyone in the beginning. Remember that they are there for you first and then you can be there for them as they need it. I also didn't know things in the beginning or how to word things so I practiced to myself and made instructor notes that I added to over the years. Roman wasn't built in a day, neither will your teaching and style. I have developed a way to make sure the student can get the word, definition, and ways it applies (If any). Most need hands on but you can turn them into visual learners overtime if you can show them things. Patience is the key, active listening, and being there role model even if they fail a cert the first time. They really do at times just need an ear to listen, they know what to do.

Also, don't rush the material, you always have tomorrow since some areas are going to be longer than others. So take it smooth and in complete thoughts.

Don't worry about reviews. I hate them honestly but I tell students to do them logically...not emotionally. They could just randomly put things and scores and it could just been for one thing. So you will have a student now and then that hates everything because of one thing you didn't do. I teach them all the same. Lord knows we all been there...lol. I give my all know matter the student. They helped me with a job and are trusting me to help them get a job or career change. So I do all I can.

After all is said and done, treat yourself to a dinner and pay for someone else's that night. Every two weeks I did that as a ritual to relax, let tension go, and not get burnt out always doing the same thing over and over again.

I hope this honestly helps anyone, just some ramblings off a young-old man...lol.

For my friends across the pound...cheers.

Ok everyone. I'm getting a lot of pushback. They have other instructors that said that CompTIA revamped their courses to provide a week long training where they removed unnecessary material, so one week would be appropriate. Does anyone know anything about this? Or do you know anyone official at CompTIA that can verify or deny this? I think they have lazy instructors that are just reading slides on a screen. That's not me.

However, the answer that they want is 192.168.0.5.

Using TestOut for Network+ Labs is just frustrating.
I don't think I'll recommend using this platform to my classes.

Patrick Dickey said:

I was in the training session that started on June 20 and was curious about this. We were given access to the CertMaster Perform labs. Do we receive any CEU's for completing the labs? Also are they a part of the requirement for the voucher?

Have a great weekend and thank you.

Michael Schmitz said:

thanks. Missed that one.. then: cool.

Since i already had an Testout Account from before, i did not see the: Request Instructor Access.

Also, i like the Certmaster System more then Testout... but thats me.

Both of them are good for pratices

Thank you. If you don't mind, I'll tag you to the other threads that I've posted too.

I really liked the TestOut laboratory at the start.
The fact that we can do network topologies, multiple sites, OS configs and Cisco device config via GUI is great!
However, there are a few errata that I've seen which I hope TestOut will be able to fix the soonest.
I've likewise reported the errors via the TestOut platform.
