New Instructor Looking for adjunct work

Hi All. I have been in the IT field for over 20 years and in different industries. I've never officially trained anybody aside from colleagues and sometimes hold tips and tricks inhouse. I hold a Network+ cert, as well as a few Microsoft certifications, including an Microsoft Certified Trainer. I've always wanted to be an instructor in IT and now that I have my MCT I would like to begin part time. So aside from having my certifications, How can I get an opportunity to instruct a class such as Network+ or A+ ?

I appreciate any assistance, or opportunities you may have.

Thanks.
Scott Grossman

CompTIA Tech+

I am seeking your valued advice and insights regarding a matter related to teaching CompTIA courses.

As an experienced instructor who holds relevant certifications such as CompTIA Security+, PenTest+, and CySA+, I am wondering if it is necessary for me to obtain the CompTIA Tech+ certification to formally teach courses like CompTIA Security+, PenTest+, or CySA+.

DataSys+

Yesterday, I passed the DataSys+ exam. I have lots of experience with SQL, MS SQL Server, and MS Access so a lot of it was review. It's a pretty good exam for people who are working with databases in a business context, as well as a technical role designing, installing, monitoring, maintaining, and upgrading databases. It touches on cloud-based databases, but I suspect that it will get much more coverage in the next version of the exam.

I didn't know where to post this topic since DataSys+ and the upcoming DataX do not have dedicated forums.

If you are or know of a Lockbit Ransomware victim...

For all those Security+ or security interested instructors out there...

Law enforcement authorities in the US and Europe recently announced the seizure of data attributed to the Lockbit ransomware team. The seized data included thousands of references to the crypto keys generated to encrypt victims data. You can read about this disclosure from the FBI or read reporting by Ars Technica. If you were or know of a ransomware victim you can submit a form here (at ic3.gov) and receive assistance ranging from the key used to encrypt the data to technical assistance decrypting the data. This form does ask for information about the victim. I'm told that not all of the fields are required to be completed. If the victim has the original ransom demand message there is information included there that can be used to identify the decryption key. If that message isn't available an encrypted file can be submitted for analysis.

The Lockbit team is believed to be made up of residents of Russia, Ukraine, and Belarus. Lockbit-based ransomware is a particularly interesting malware strain in that new versions were compiled so that different keys were used for different victims; and the original team created an 'associate program' where others could 'license' the Lockbit ransomware.

Question: SY0-701 Lab - Using Containers

Good day!

Need your input on the question from the SY0-701 Lab re: Using containers. The question is, "How do you enter a container session for 'MyContainer'"?

I understand that a container needs to be started first, before you exec it hence, docker start is the answer

1718496238749.png

However, there was no premise that was stated in the question, so many of the students thought that the answer is docker exec - based on the laboratory instructions.

1718496401740.png

Some may argue that the keyword at the end should be cmd however, powershell can actually be used in docker in real life scenario.

What do you think?

Also have a problem with the store?

I have a question. Does anyone have experience with how to get help from Comptia support regarding the store? I ordered Official CompTIA Student Guide eBook on Friday and still haven't received the codes. No emails are entitled to a response up to two working days. The training has started and the students have nothing to learn from.

Anyone else encountering 701 PPT missing information

I am delivering a 701 course and I have noticed periodically the PPT Instructor slides are missing some content information when compared to the student guide.

I have included one example but there are others, lesson 10 is the one example I included where the PowerPoint ends with a Wi-Fi reference but the student guide ends lesson 10 with Bluetooth and NFC which are not shown in the PowerPoint. I don't recall this being an issue with 601 slides missing content shown in the student guide for the same lesson.

CLI in Cloud+ objectives

In the new Cloud+ objectives (as posted on CompTIA's draft page a few weeks ago), under the IAM objective, there's an item for CLI spelled out as Common Language Infrastructure. While I know that's a real thing (in context of .NET), I can't see how it's directly related to IAM. Any thoughts? Or is this an error and it should actually be command line interface (which makes more sense to me)?

Pearson Disability Accommodation Problems

I am looking to find out how many people have students or themselves have problems with Pearson Vue and Accommodations issues. I am getting ready to draft a demand to PearonVue on this matter.

It seems to me that Pearson is violating the ADA on several levels.

PersonVue refuses to allow accommodation on the at-home testing platform PerasonVue Online Testing. This is a direct violation of the ADA under Title III. People with disabilities are barred from the PearonVue Online Testing platform. People with mobility disabilities are forced to go to a testing center, leave their homes, get rides to the testing centers, go to some testing centers that are not ADA compliant, then test in public. At the same time, people without disabilities are allowed to test anywhere.

"The ADA requires that any person offering examinations related to post-secondary education or profession “shall offer such examinations or courses in a place and manner accessible to persons with disabilities.” 42 U.S.C. § 12189. Regulations interpreting this section to impose an obligation on the entity offering such an examination that “ [t]he examination is selected and administered so as to best ensure that, when the examination is administered to an individual with a disability that impairs sensory, manual, or speaking skills, the examination results accurately reflect the individual's aptitude or achievement level or whatever other factor the examination purports to measure, rather than reflecting the individual‟s impaired sensory, manual, or speaking skills.” 28 C.F.R. § 36.309."

The ADA makes it unlawful to “coerce, intimidate, threaten, or interfere with any individual in the exercise or enjoyment of, or on account of his or her having exercised or enjoyed, any right granted or protected by this Act.” 42 U.S.C. § 12203.

The ADA requires that any person offering examinations related to post-secondary education or profession “shall offer such examinations or courses in a place and manner accessible to persons with disabilities.” 42 U.S.C. § 12189. As part of this duty to make an examination accessible, the regulations require that any documentation requested be “reasonable and limited to the need for the modification, accommodation, or auxiliary aid or service requested.” 28 C.F.R. § 36.309(b)(1)(iv).

Will a Proctor be able to Administer the Tech+ in a Classroom as with the ITF+

Will the Tech+ be like the ITF+ (and Cloud Essentials) in the exam can be proctored by a teacher at a high school campus versus at a testing center?

I already know that like the ITF+, there will be no maintenance requirements (no three-year cycle) for the Tech+.
