• Question
Spanish Speaking Instructor and Spanish Learning Materials

Hi Everyone,

I think I know the answer to my second question, but just in case I am making incorrect assumptions, let me go ahead and ask: Are the CompTIA Security + Course Materials available in Spanish?

As for the first question, is there any Instructor on the Forum whose first language is Spanish? Trying to solve a challenge for a client in Equador.

Thanks Everyone!

Happy Friday.

CIN The Pulse - If a bad organizational culture eats ethics for breakfast, then will AI steal your lunch money?

OK! Our next session of The Pulse is coming up on Thursday July 25th. It’s time to get past the FUD and take a data-driven look at what AI is doing for us, to us, and with us. Join CompTIA’s Chief Technology Evangelist, Dr. James Stanger, to learn about research CompTIA has completed about recent AI trends. He will discuss the impact of current AI usage, and the myriad meanings of the term, “AI.” Are in an era of Copilot co-dependence, or are we in an era of AI enhanced, hyper-human creativity and interaction? James will also discuss case studies of how AI may be affecting job roles and work flows.

AI now creates the music we hear and the things we see. We’ve seen what happens when we drop tech and automation into a problematic culture. What happens when drop AI into the mix? Will it create chaos or cultural guardrails? Join James to learn more about the impacts of our current and future use of AI.

When: Thursday July 25, 2024, 10:00 am CDT, one-hour session

N10-009 Slide errors

Hello everyone, if you are teaching N10-009, do take note of a few errors on the slide deck. (Maybe the content creators can update the materials?)

Module 5 Slide 19 (Question 4 suggested answer should be OSPF)


m6s31.png
Module 6 Slide 31 (The diagram is cut off at the bottom, steps 6 and 7 is not visible)

Module 9 Slide 39 (Should read "Rogue DHCP Server Attacks involve an unauthorized server distributing incorrect network addresses to clients")

CompTIA Cloud+ release date - July 16, 2024?

I'm not certain of the validity of this document, but it appears that the new version of Cloud+ will go live on July 16, 2024. No idea about the timeline for the beta exam scores.

  • Question
Are Comptia training instructors required to be certified in the course they teach?

I have a trainer who is a PhD in Computer Science specializing in Cyber Security with tons of experience in both lecturing and security project. He can teach the security and network plus courses but does not have the certifications.

Is he required to be certified before training?

Ruh Roh...More Bad Press for Gemini AI

This is why I am going to be on the trailing edge of the entire AI party.

It really is a fundamental level of trust.

New Instructor looking for part-time work.

Hello all,
I've been in IT field for over 20 years, mostly as an administrator and engineer. I'm looking to take my knowledge and skills to another avenue as an instructor. I have certifications in Comptia as well as Microsoft, and recently have become an MCT. I've done some training internally and am now looking for an opportunity to instruct outside my current role part time, and test the waters. I suspected this would be difficult getting my foot in the door, just as any new venture would be.

Any leads or opportunities would be most appreciated.

Best regards.

5.6.11 Lab: Configure Switch IP Settings - CLI

Just sharing this seemingly disconnected instruction and question in the 5.6.11 Lab: Configure Switch IP Settings - CLI

The instruction says to find the IP address assigned to F0/0 of the SFO router. (ok, i understand the task)
The task says, use "show cdp neighbors detail" (eh?)

If you follow the instructions, you'll get this:

If you are a Cisco instructor, you would know that the better command to use is "show ip interface brief"

Fortunately, my class knows Cisco configuration.
But I'm sharing this with everyone as we find the instruction abit lost in answering the question.

PearsonVue / OnVue problems June 2024

What the absolute blazes is going on with Pearson Vue this month?

Two or three weeks ago they had a big service disruption which affected both OnVue and testing center exams. Everybody was getting kicked out of their exams.

And now on Reddit and Discord there's numerous mentions of waiting lines 100+ people deep, with test-takers waiting 1-3 hours before even starting their exams.


There's something really bad going on with PearsonVue and it reflects badly on CompTIA.

Someone needs to step up and provide proper communication and guidance.

Looking for adjunct work

I have been in the IT field for over 20 years and in different industries. I hold a Network+ cert, as well as a few Microsoft certifications, including an Microsoft Certified Trainer. I've held training in-house for colleagues and sometimes short tips and tricks. 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, I would love the opportunity to instruct a class such as Network+ or A+, or any other Comptia course that I can easily get certified in.

Partner Summit 2024

If you haven't registered, jump in quick for early bird pricing! Long story incoming...

The early bird rate was supposed to end yesterday. I thought I had already registered, but decided to check and make sure I had done it. Turns out, I had not! And kicking myself that I missed the early bird pricing. But wait! As I was checking out, apparently the website had not been updated yet. So I got the lower rate anyway. Which was a really good thing, considering I'm paying for myself and my 16-year-old this time. He's sooo looking forward to his first techie conference!
