Do any of you know when the Train-the-Trainer series for the CompTIA Data+ DA0-002 will be?

I have this Request for delivering the A+ Core 1 and Core 2 in 9 days 5 hours each i need some help on adjusting the pacing to the course flow

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?

I have been teaching IT certifications, system administration and programming skills for over 10 years.

ITF+ is available in the following languages: English, Chinese, Japanese, Thai and Vietnamese.
Now, the newer Tech+ certification is only available in English.

Is there any chance of Tech+ being available in other languages in the future? I could contribute German as it is my native language.

Is it just me, or are others out there seeing odd questions in the new A+ Core 1 and Core 2 CertMaster Learn courseware when creating custom quizzes? See examples below. It's as if someone was pulling over a database of questions and forgot to include important items.

How do I acquire a CySA+ Instructor manual

Hello CINners! I am super stoked, this is going to be a great one, so mark your calendars now!
Join with us as we talk with @James Stanger and Renee Wynn, former CIO of NASA. Renee will share stories about the steps she took to instill a cybersecurity culture in NASA. We'll discuss concepts such as the different mindsets that Operational Technology and Information Technology workers have, as well as implementing secure by design principles.

Ever wonder how cybersecurity is managed in satellite and GPS systems? Do you know why NASA technicians especially worry about lateral movement during a cybersecurity incidents involving satellites? Ever think about the ramifications of successful cybersecurity attacks on critical space infrastructure? Then join in on the discussion to learn more.

Discussion points will include:

• The technologies, services, and platforms that Renee's teams protected at NASA.
• Renee's efforts to instill cybersecurity into engineer, Operational Technology, and scientific mindsets.
• The ramifications of cybersecurity failures in critical systems, from satellites to GPS.
• Managing differing priorities, including availability and innovation versus cybersecurity when working with both legacy and cutting-edge space technologies.
• How "failure of imagination" remains the cybersecurity industry's biggest problem.

Hi all,

Does anyone have suggestions, activities, or techniques to further enhance engagement for remote learners (Online course) for the A+ and Security+ courses?

Thank you in advance.

During the Exam CloudNetX today, i saw some Questions that have Typos or are with really stupid answers: i wonder why CompTIA has no Question Feedback button?
How to report these Errors?

What are you thinking about this missing feedback?

Anyone heard of this one yet? I don't see draft objectives posted on the CompTIA site yet. Definitely interested in more info!

Does anyone have experience teaching Tech+, please share it if possible

Would love to hear some recommendations on different learning platforms that can be used in classroom environments. Traditionally have used the TestOut platform but this has transitioned to CertMaster. I'm just wondering what else is out there for instructors to consider to get the best resources for our students? My institution teaches, Tech+, A+, Network+ and Security+.

Labs and curriculum (book and video) would be great to have.

Thanks,

J. Porter

Greetings,
I am preparing to start a new class for the Security+ certification and would like to ensure that students remain engaged, active, and participative throughout the course. While I am aware that there are labs included in the course materials, I am curious if you might have recommendations for additional ideas, tools, websites, or hands-on activities that could further enhance student involvement and enjoyment during the class.

Your advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

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.

Hello everyone,

I recently joined CIN, and I’m preparing to deliver training for Network+. However, I couldn’t find the official Instructor Resource Kit (IRK) or the instructor slides in my account.
Can anyone guide me on how to properly access or request the Network+ instructor materials? Do I need to go through the CompTIA Store, or should I submit a support ticket?

Any help or step-by-step directions would be highly appreciated.

Since CompTIA CTT+ is retired so is there any replacement or what needs to be the criteria or qualification for a CompTIA certified trainer to teach an official CompTIA Training

This question is already been posted, but didn't see the satisfied respononse, asking again to see if anyone has direct response

Hello CINners,
I want to share with you another successful story that I have passed CompTIA SecurityX.
Huge thanks to @Stephen Schneiter for the voucher! Couldn’t have done it without this amazing community.

I recently visited a Canadian National Park. While in the visitor's centre, I stopped to take some of the pamphlets at the at the round information kiosk:

Lady behind kiosk: If you like, you can sign our visitor's guestbook over here.
Me: Sure, I'd like that.
Lady behind kiosk: So, where are you coming from today?
Me: Cambridge, in the Kitchener-Waterloo area of Ontario.
Lady behind kiosk: That's great - I have family who live in Waterloo and Guelph.
Me: So you know the area well, then!
Lady behind kiosk: I do. What does your shirt mean?
Me: Oh, that's a tech pun - I work in the tech industry and the shirts they give out at tech conferences usually have punny slogans.
Lady behind kiosk: You work in tech? Would you know why this iPad we have can no longer connect to the printer here?

Yes, I ended up fixing the DirectPrint settings in the app for their Brother printer.
If you work in IT, remember: No matter how far you go, the printers will find you...
