How to upgrade from the Network+ (N10-008) to Network+ (N10-009)?

Access is for a limited time. Less than a year, I believe. And no, your students will not get access. The access key is for CompTIA Instructor Network attendees of the webinar series.
Thanks for this helpful response.

How to upgrade from the Network+ (N10-008) to Network+ (N10-009)?

These are some great questions, @Muhammad Usman Younas. It would be best for you to have a conversation with your Customer Success manager, as he can answer your questions about the upgrade plan and assist with your access issues on the platform. I just sent an email to Leon, connecting you two directly. I hope this helps and that your issues on licensing and the platform are resolved quickly.
Thanks. This is a fantastic help.

9.3.9 Lab - wrong answer

Q1 asks for the IP address of Support's current default gateway
As you see, the answer should be 192.168.0.46

However, the answer that they want is 192.168.0.5.
I was like, where did that came from? LOL

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

I've already reported this using the report link:

How to upgrade from the Network+ (N10-008) to Network+ (N10-009)?

Great. Thanks. The access to the New Network+ will be a trail access or permanent access? or Can CompTIA to provide access to our all students also who are using the Network+ old version?

SDWAN

In the final session today of the Network+ TTT series, one of the topics discussed was SDWAN. I ran across this article a few hours later that would sprinkle a little seasoning on that final session - which by the way was a culmination of a tremendous series, delivered by Mr. Don Tilley!!!

Check out the article: "Where and How Do WAN, SD-WAN, and SASE Fit In?"

Seeking Advice! First-Time CompTIA Trainer!

Hello everyone,

I will be stepping into the role of a CompTIA trainer for the first time next month! With 15 years of experience in IT infrastructure, I’m passionate about networking and cybersecurity, and I’m excited about the opportunity to guide others on their certification journeys.

However, as with any new venture, I’m also a bit nervous and eager to ensure that I provide the best learning experience for my students. That's why I'm reaching out to this knowledgeable community for some advice.

Experienced Trainers:

  • Reflecting on Your First Training: What were some of the challenges you faced during your first training session? How did you handle those initial nerves and uncertainties?
  • Current Strategies for Quality Training: How have your teaching methods evolved over time? What strategies do you now employ to ensure that your training sessions are engaging and effective?

Thank you in advance for your support! 🌟
This is an interesting adventure, Because you are impacting people life to become IT giant in future.

What is the shortest time to teach A+

I think it is possible if they already have IT experience. If they are new to IT, it will be a lot of information for them to absorb. I would probably recommend 30 to 40 hours per core.
I think 40 hours minimum would be best. I remember when I did A+ and learned it in my bootcamp. They did it over three months. That was a good, comfortable pace. It allowed us to ask questions, complete labs, and do homework. We were always well prepared for class.

What is the shortest time to teach A+

Thanks, everyone. I'll just emphasize that if Core 1 and Core 2 is a total of 5 days, then the only thing I really can be expected to do is run through the slides and point out one or two things to focus upon for the exam per slide and take very few questions. That's it!

I feel uneasy about this, but if they just want someone to click through slides and babysit, I'll just make sure they have all their CompTIA slides and just tell them to review their own slides, do as many labs as they can, and point them towards additional study resources and practice question banks they can purchase. :-/
