New CompTIA A+ Perform vs Learn

Hi,

Probably a bit late to the party, but I’ve recently switched to the A+ Perform solution after previously using the CertMaster Learn + Labs product. Overall, both my students and I prefer Perform.

The differences aren’t huge, but Perform offers a few more videos, and the lab environment feels more polished and engaging. Personally, I find it an improvement over the Learn + Labs version.

If you can, I’d recommend asking your account manager for a quick demo so you can see the features for yourself and decide which will work best for your teaching style and students.

Sorry I can’t give you a more detailed comparison, but hopefully this helps point you in the right direction.

Cheers,
SteveO

Future TTT course

Future TTT courses should include a session on how to answer a mock simulation question in exam so we can train our students well or can tell what they will looking for in the simulation exam. Most of students get scared when they think the simulation will be like lab exercise.

In TTT we should be trained on our training a mock simulation exam, it will be very helpful to trainer when teaching the course.
Agree. @Sivanesan

Great

What's in a name?

Having both the Project+ and the CAPM, I'd say that the Project+ need some development before anyone would consider it on equal footing with the CAPM. The training content for Project+ is scattershot and flows poorly. The exam has much less rigor than that of the CAPM. I think it can be a much better certification if CompTIA is willing to commit to that goal.

I hope they will build and invest in Project+. It's a much needed cert and area of expertise.
