Hello to my fellow CIN Members,

I am looking into purchasing an electronic tablet to enable me to draw for students and/or mark up slides when appropriate using a battery free electronic pen (I surely don't want a battery type of electronic stylus since they only can hold a charge for a finite time frame, etc.). The one I'm looking at purchasing is this one: https://tinyurl.com/56jyhk6f but if any of you can recommend others, I'm all ears.

The one I'm considering purchasing via the above Amazon link is obviously a bit too large for portable use, but that's okay for me, I am willing to buy two, i.e., a larger unit like the above for use when teaching CompTIA courses via Zoom or a smaller portable sized used for use when traveling. I would ideally like to keep my price range for any such devices to be under $600 each.

Any recommendations to the above question would be greatly appreciated.

Best regards,

Bob

Hi Guys

As a Microsoft MVP MCT MCE AND MCSE holder I find it mad to believe CompTIA Make it so difficult ti be a CompTIA Trainer , is there any discounts for CTT+ is it a path worth pursuing ?

I've just passed the CASP+ certification exam!
Thanks much to CompTIA for the exam voucher, through @Stephen Schneiter.

I've used the following to prepare for the exam:

• e-book (instructor guide) from CompTIA with the exam prep from CompTIA Learn.
  • recommended! I didn't get to try the Labs tho. Is there any?
• e-learning course by Jason Dion, from LinkedIn Learning
  • the course is good, tho it gets boring at times. the study notes need revision
• e-book (cert guide) and practice exam from Pearson IT
  • e-book and practice exam are good. a few minor details were off which i've already sent as feedback to Pearson for revision.
• CyberVista's exam prep, via Learning People Global
  • exam prep is good

I had 2 PBQs - only 1 of which is a simulation.

Next stop, Pentest+ or Project+.... which one?

Passed the CASP+ today. I fully expected to fail after not having sufficient time to study. I probably got all the easy questions.

If you're studying to finish this up before the voucher expires, definitely focus on Linux stuff, and know those acronyms inside and out. It was also helpful for me to know how this exam is a bit different from other CompTIA exams I've taken. There's a question where you work in a virtualized environment (looks like it counted for two questions, based on question numbering around it). When you get to that question, you only get one attempt at it, so there's no going back to it later to try again. And they give you a list of tasks before entering the environment that you're not allowed to perform on the VM. Within the virtual environment, they listed a few commands that they said could be helpful, along with a few switches. But they said the list is not exhaustive, and you might need other commands. I also had learned the exam result is Pass/Fail only, no scaled score, and you don't get the result on screen when you finish the exam. It was, however, printed on my report as I was checking out at the testing center.

And that's a wrap for my cert exams this year. If I counted right, I took and passed 10 cert exams in 2022. Seven were new-to-me certs from CompTIA, AWS, and Microsoft. The others were repeats to renew certs. I'm definitely grateful to @Stephen Schneiter and his crew for the TTT programs and the related vouchers!! Beyond the training and vouchers, it also provides a sense of accountability and that extra "push" I need to make me go through with taking these exams more often than I would have otherwise. And the discussions here are invaluable as well!

Nice way to end the year. Will be able to get some sleep over New Years even tho taking the CySA+-003 beta Jan 3 to see how different it is. Does this mean I have to stop saying I'm a n00b now or can I wait until I pass Linux & PenTest+?

Hi Guys!

Any problem with CompTIA?
Previously these vouchers were distributed 2 or 3 weeks after the CIN TTT series. Lately things have changed a lot. Is there anything we don't know?
Please I would like to have an explanation on the subject

I wanted to close this year on a big note

Hello Everyone,

I previously attended CASP TTT webinars and got myself a voucher to get certified. However, yesterday i was trying to book for CASP exam to be written friday 30th December, 2022 and the voucher is due to expire on 31st December, 2022. My problem is that when i try to book the exam, i can not see any PearsonVUe testing centre in my Country (MALAWI) apart from Tanzania, South Africa and Kenya as nearest testing centres (Am able to see testing centres if i try to book lower exams ). OnVUE proctored exam testing, i can't meet internet connection speeds requirement and my worry is that i have known this barely 3 days before my CASP voucher expires. Please any advice either here or in private.

Hi to all,

Does any none have experience about scheduling the exam after the voucher expiry date / deadline,
i have couple of vouchers but so was busy to schedule the exam, Now 31st is at the corner ??

Thanks

Buddy
Don't worry about me. it is not end of road!!

I have no idea what was behind the failed result but I had an exam with questions that were reasonable, basic and not difficult or stressful to answer even though I have certain experiences in the field of cybersecurity already acquired (as a SOC leader and also a SOC analyst L3 ) but I failed.

For those taking this exam I guarantee you should study the books already recommended by other aspirants and highly recommend taking the "CASP+ CompTIA Advanced Security Practitioner Practice Tests Exam by Sybex" I believe I got 90% of the questions coming from this book. If you can still review the full Dion course material on udemy then I guarantee you will be 100% able to pass this exam.

I'm not sad not that I failed, I'm just wondering what must have gone wrong in the answers given. Maybe I underestimated when answering the questions maybe.
I still had an hour and a half to review all the answers but I didn't. It was a personal challenge for me to pass this exam but the next one will be better, I don't lower my head.

I wish good luck for who will do it next

I wish everyone a safe and enjoyable Holiday season, whether you are celebrating a special occasion or simply enjoying some time off.

Hi everyone, i got 3 comptia network+ voucher for sales must use by 31 dec only usd200. Let know any one would want
Thanks

I know CompTIA has the Server+ but how about they come up with a CompTIA On-Premises Server OS plus?
Basically a Microsoft based certification for on-premises servers.

Hi CIN Admin(s)

Is there a dark mode setting for this website?


Regards

Can somebody give me some advice how to pass Server+ certification and give me some guidelines on what to focus?

Hey buddy
exam shedule for december 23.
for those who passed this exam can you give me tips and tricks?
Thanks for feedback

We haven't posted this in the CIN before, but because I was answering a question regarding it, I thought I'd better say something...

Tomorrow is your LAST Day to complete all the sessions for PK0-005 Project+ if you want to remain eligible for a test voucher. Hopefully, you all have had the chance to sit down and enjoy the sessions, getting them finished up. If not, well, tick-tock tick-tock.

And remember, if you have questions after the fact for Project+, feel free to reach out to me. I'll be happy to answer them.

Cheers everyone!

edit: possible Fall (August) start date.

2022 is wrapping up and we are excited for a new year!

How are your preparing to wrap up your classes for 2022, and how are you planning to begin 2023 with fresh ideas? We are curious to see how you are navigating the transitions with your students and institution (if applicable). Feel free to either just share your information, or expand as much as you like. We will be happy to have a conversation directly if you have any questions as well!

Are you using CompTIA Content/Resources? Do you see yourself making changes for 2023?
1. I would like to use it, where can I find more information?
2. I am using CompTIA content, I would like to expand and pursue additional content/resources
3. I am using CompTIA content, I am going to continue what I am doing for now
4. No I am not using CompTIA content, and I do not intend to at the present time.

I have earned instructor resources from completing TTT series. What is the general link for them?

My school district's server deletes emails after only 60 days.

Dear CINers,

We are from CompTIA Accredited Training Partner in Indonesia.
Pleas contact me if you are interested in collaboration with us.

Thank you.
Best Regard,

I have the CompTIA Learn Linux + application and package. Great material. I wanted to know how many times can one
take this Final Assessment exam? Is only once or can you take it multiple times?

Thank you,
Mike
