I'm having trouble accessing Session 4 on on24, anyone else having the same problem?

Page looks like it's loading content but i can't see any of the handsome Gentlemen or resources after a few minutes it says " Webinar has concluded. Thank you for engaging with us"

Hi all

I've been trying to catch-up on the last A+ TTT sessions 11&12 , but on24 keeps saying the Content not available or is still being processed.

Anyone else out there getting the same issue?

Hi Everyone,

Just curious if anyone has a recording of a day 1 of 5 day delivery where they walk through the CertMaster Platform, show how to use it, tell the Learners how to use it, and then talk about the method they (as an Instructor) are going to use to deliver the course?

My thinking is that (depending on the size of the class) it would be like the first hour or less of the course.

Thanks everyone.

Hi Everyone,

Say, have any of you done any work for a company named Force7 Training out of Colorado Springs, Colorado?

Thanks.

Hi All

I wrote the CompTIA Data+ earlier this week and I passed! All the TTT content helped immensely and glad to have seen stuff that I have encountered in other training & consulting gigs.

I was surprised that I was not able to leave feedback after the exam. Normally PearsonVUE allows to submit feedback per question and feedback overall but that screen didn't show up. I have some feedback I'd like to provide during my experience of the Data+ exam. Where would be the most appropriate place to do this?

Also, because the Data+ voucher has not arrived yet, I paid for one out of the CompTIA Store. If I attended the TTT, and the voucher arrives, can I somehow be compensated by returning the voucher or can I just give it to someone else (since I have passed the exam already)? I needed to write it because I had opportunities to train it should I pass and didn't want to miss out on them.

Hi All!

I was just wondering if there is a place here on the CIN website, that shows the past classes you have relieved credit for or the courses you are currently registered for? Any info is much appreciated!

Thanks!

How long have you been CompTIA certified? I originally passed the A+ back in 1999 and therefore am GFL. I also have the CE certification.

I am curious of how "old" my certification is in comparison to my peers on here.

(I just contacted CompTIA about getting access to my certification records and have them connected to an email account I still access.)

...881.

You guys have all been at this longer than I have, so you might've seen scores like that before, but it's a first for me. I can't really take credit bc he's literally smarter than I am, but I'm proud nonetheless.

In comptia store there is only the access key for student
The certmaster labs for network+ has the access key for instructor and access key for student or the key type are the same?
thanks in advance

Hey everyone, Happy Friday and happy Memorial Day weekend! In honor of the holiday, we will NOT have a question next week so please keep an eye out the following week, see you all back here on Tuesday!

I haven't been able to attend the last few webinars live, since I am now teaching some evening classes which conflict timewise. I have been listening to the on-demand content but I haven't heard (Or I've missed) Allen mention the list he talked about posting regarding Kahoot exercises (or others) that he had been asking attendees to post in the meeting chat. Did that get posted somewhere that I missed, or is it still something that's being worked on?

Sorry, I'm new here so I'm not sure if this has been addressed. I've seen a tentative release for the N10-008 Network+ Exam for August 2021. However, does anyone know if there will also be the usual 6 to 8 month overlap in Exam options before the N10-007 is completely retired and one can no longer sit for that one? Any input would be very helpful. Thank you.

The instructor guide code Stephen sent out does not work. Anyone else having a similar issue?

This would make a good addition to the macOS topic within an A+ course (or if macOS is covered within your Linux course):

There are some great talks in there, including Jim Manico’s epic OWASP keynote:

This is a great addition for any Security+/CySA+/Pentest+/CASP+ course.

G'day all!

During @Lee McWhorter 's excellent introduction to XK0-005, I promised to start publishing all the exercises I've made for my students.

It's a very rough MVP, with just a small set of all the labs, but here's a start.

-> https://github.com/unixerius/XK0-004/tree/first-set

In all, my class spans 16 weeks/lessons, so you'll understand there's plenty more to add in that Github repo. I wanted to start with the big chunk of shell-scripting exercises.

That link leads to a specific branch in the repo. At some point that'll get merged into the main repo and it may disappear.

Hello Everyone,

I am thrilled to see everyone at Partner Summit in Chicago (Aug. 3rd and 4th). Early Bird registration is from now until May 31st. (https://connect.comptia.org/partnersummit/)

Our agenda is coming soon! Hope to see you there!

Best,
Liz

Are instructors entitled to Free license of CompTIA Learn + Labs + Practice for instructors? If so, how do we avail of them?

Team, we've had an excellent start with the A+ TTT! A+ has always been one of my favorite certifications, as it covers a wide range of IT topics. This certification allows a future IT professional to decide what IT career to pursue. As a CISSP, I still enjoy the contents of A+ and what this cert has to offer.

Sit back and enjoy all that A+ has to offer.! See you in class...

During Partner Summit you will connect with fellow IT experts, network with Partners from around the world and discover the latest resources to help your learners achieve their CompTIA certifications.


Join us at CompTIA Partner Summit as we discuss your ability to unlock potential in IT, and how to better position yourself, your organization and your learners for success

Hey everyone, we got some great responses and insight already, so I will continue some of those messages and provide our insight as well. Please see the attached file for more detail and screenshots of the specific product platforms and functionality.

CertMaster Learn
As we know with CertMaster Learn, this is the FIRST step into learning, where a lot of concepts are new, and the learners are really just taking in everything they can in their first step of preparing to become certified. Within each lesson, the learners will have "Practice Questions" which are timed (just like the certification exam) but will be presented in groups of 10-15 questions per lesson. Once ALL of the lessons have been completed, it is now time to take the FINAL ASSESSMENT. For CertMaster Learn, this is the final step into validating the learner's grasp of the concepts and material, and a decision can be made to move to the certification exam, or into further validating their skills with the use of CertMaster Practice.

Pro Tip: Within the "Resources" section in CertMaster Learn (left margin, at the bottom underneath Game Center) you will see a document titled "Mapping Course Content." This document will come in handy either when preparing for the exam, or if you are taking the exam again. This will highlight ALL lessons within CertMaster Learn and how they map to the CompTIA Exam objectives for that specific certification exam. Please urge your Students to pay attention to this document and keep it handy.

CertMaster Practice
With CertMaster Practice, we have moved from the learner mentality into the "Test-Prep" mindset. CertMaster Practice is chock full of exam review questions (700-1000) and are presented in groups of around 12-30 depending on the module and exam objective weight that is covered within the certification exam. Again, the Practice Test within CertMaster Practice will help solidify the learner's knowledge and fully validate their readiness for the certification exam.

Pro Tip: When using the timed Practice Test within CertMaster Practice, because we have already learned and absorbed all of the content from CertMaster Learn, we can use this test at the BEGINNING of CertMaster Practice as our first-step validation to see where the learner left off in CertMaster Learn. Once going through more practice modules, we can use this again in the MIDDLE and lastly at the END to help further validate the learner's readiness for full certification. Best practice is 2-3 times through the practice test with a score of 85-90% or higher (only 80% is needed to pass the certification exam, but this will give your Student a buffer as the questions will somewhat vary on the high-stakes exam)

Hi All,
Do anyone providing real time scenarios for students to practice in Cybersecurity? If Yes, please share. It will help me to make students get a real time experience..

Thanks

I was going through practice questions with my students yesterday and we were given the question, "An HTTPS application is secured using the SSL/TLS protocol but should use a different port for unencrypted HTTP. Which port should unencrypted HTTP use"?

We all agreed the answer was TCP/80, but that was incorrect, with the correct answer being TCP/143. I wanted to reach out the community of other instructors here so I could get a better understanding of why the answer was 143 and not 80, not just for myself but for my students as well. From reading the CompTIA A+ book, TCP/143 is HTTP associated with IMAP and reading mail messages on a server mailbox, where TCP/80 is your standard HTTP for unsecure websites. Thanks in advance for any input and clarification as to why the answer to this question is TCP/143 and not TCP/80.

Hello All,
The new code I received for A+, isn't working either. Has anyone has any success with Login with it?

The job has been officially posted, so a few new details:
View the job posting on Indeed
I work for Cascades Job Corps, a residential vocational training program funded by the U.S. Department of Labor. Our students are disadvantaged youths, ages 16-24.
We are located in Sedro Woolley, WA, USA.

We are looking for an experienced Network+\A+ instructor, ideally with recent industry experience.
It's a salaried continuing contract position, and a great opportunity for someone who wants to transition away from teaching online.
The position's starting pay is $55,000
The position does not require a college degree, or teaching certificate, but excitement about teaching young people is essential.

To Clarify:
This is an on-site position. The job is teaching A+ and Network+ to a class of 15-25 students. We have open enrollment, and your students live on Campus, so they nearly always show up to class. We have a lot of great equipment, and we have a lot of autonomy about how we run our classes. It's a fun position.

Please reach out if you would like to learn more. Thanks!
