Stephen -

Keep up the good work. The PowerPoints for the certifications, Word documents, and guest PowerPoints are a great resource. Working with CompTIA since 1999/2000(?), the resources we have now are unbelievable.

Good afternoon Cinners,

I'd appreciate some feedback pertaining to the teaching format of Security+. I'm training a course starting July 24th (Monday)

I'll be taaching 3.5 - 4hrs per day, 3 days per week. The goal is to complete 1 lesson per day. I do realize that each lesson has more than one topic, but I feel this may be doable.

The duration of the class will be 2 months. I can modify the training to whereas they do one or two topics in a lesson as homework, or I can go 4 days per week.

Do you think that 1 lesson in a 4 hour period is doable or should I use one of the other options I mentioned?

Lastly, will there be a new training version soon for the SY0 - 701?

With Appreciation,

-Robert Sewell

Kindly is there a URL in Comptia indicating the prerequisites of CYSA+03 course ? I need to send it to my clients.

Good Afternoon Ciners,


Does anyone know when the next TTT is for the A+? I have an instructor that I'd like to onboard who has the certification.

Thanks...

We look forward to chatting with you!

If some one going to teach Microsoft course he introduce himself as an MCT and some of them proudly shows his MCT certificate
Same for Amazon
Same for Cisco

What about Comptia ?
I hope in the future will be the same as Microsoft,Amazon.Cisco,.........
Note:
Being member of CIN is not enough in this area,I hope to have a clear certificate of authorization of teaching Comptia products.

Hello everyone,

I need to know if we can use the CompTIA Train the Trainer PowerPoint slides in our own CompTIA certification classes?
I was hoping to use a few of the graphics and the text without getting into any legal trouble.

Thank you,
MIke

Question: Are there "official" Comptia powerpoints that are available to instructors for each certification?

I've been using my textbook publisher's resources and found some of them to be lacking in content in certain areas, and I wanted to know if there was something better that covered everything students were expected to know.

How do i change my current registration email on CIN to a new one. Who do i contact at CompTIA i tried doing it under profile settings but it does not allow me to make changes

I know that the TTT Sessions follow the map of which CompTIA certs are being upgraded to new versions, but I've had difficulty figuring out what comes next! I still need to do the exam for Linux+, and I haven't had the time to dive into the last few but am coming into a period where I have more time available.

So, what's next??

Hi There all,

Does anyone know of an assessment i can use for potential students?

Something that could test their knowledge to attend the course because i find a huge skill gap when they attend the course.

I'd appreciate any feedback.

Thanks all.

Nate.

Good day to all.
I am new comptia instructor.
I would like to know trainer resource.
anyone know how to access comptia online lab as instructor ?

Is it acceptable for a trainer to promote their services and mention English is their primary or exclusive language?

Just wanted to share with everyone that I passed the A+ exams!

Hi there,

In our IT programs, we provide students with vouchers which cover the cost of whichever certification exams may be covered in that program. For example, in our beginning IT program, we provide the students with vouchers to take the A+ and Network+ exams, however, many of them never seem to get around to taking them, and of course, we are supposed to provide pass rates for the exams. I have heard of some schools and programs that basically embed the certification exams into the coursework.

Does anyone have an example of best practices on how to do this, and to get the students to actually take the exam.

Your help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Here is the question of the day. It's dealing with different types of backups. First, let's start with what we know.
- A Full backup backs up the files, then resets the archive bits to off so that it knows they've been backed up.
- An Incremental backup backs up the files with the archive bit set to on (meaning the file has been changed), then resets the bit to off for each file that has had changes.
- A Differential backup backs up all the files where the archive bit it set to on, but doesn't reset it to off, meaning it will back up everything where the bit is set to on, including files it has already backed up in any previous differential backups since the last full backup (since differentials do not reset the bit to off).
- Any file changes sets the bits to on. So either an incremental or differential will back up the changed files.
So here's the scenario:
- I do a full backup, change files, then do an incremental (which will backup the files, then change the bits back to off)
- I change no files over the next 24 hours, then I do a differential backup.

So here are the questions:
- How will the differential recognize the difference between the full and incremental backups because the bits are set to off for both cases?
- Will it copy since the last full backup or the last incremental?

I am looking for actually three good lesson plans:

CompTIA A+
CompTIA Network+
CompTIA Security+

Restructuring my Classroom and would like some guidance on teaching these Certifications. So I am reaching out to this network of great people. Anyway someone could email me these lesson plans. Thank you,

Had a student miss a question today based upon information that does not appear in the SG or slides. It has to do with False Positive being synonymous with False Acceptance Rate. And while the definition (someone's biometric matching with the wrong person and possibly giving them unauthorized access), somewhat lines up, it isn't something they would be able to read and extrapolate. And for False Negative, it means that someone was denied access that should have been given access based upon proper credentials/biometrics, being synonymous with False Rejection Rate. My issue isn't the definitions, it is that this information is not presented to the students in a way that they would get the question correct, since we usually refer to False Positive/Negative in terms of vulnerability analysis and device alerts, and they don't quite line up with the biometrics in terms of their meanings. I added it as an addendum to make sure my students know these definitions now. Maybe I'm totally wrong though. I defer to the esteemed consensus of my fellow instructors.

Hi all

I’ve a unique question I’m wondering if anyone knows any companies in the USA Hiring Irish citizens for Cybersecurity roles I have over 15 years experience with 150+ qualifications.

In particular I’m looking for something I can initially start remotely to begin when and then make a decision in a years time to go down the Visa route / citizenship route.

any guidance / advice would be great.
Kind regards
Matthew

Finally it became a reality to meet these awesome people.

It was great meeting up with fellow CINers. Great information and ideas were exchanged. I just have more questions regarding the TestOut certification phase out and the plans for the replacement of the TestOut certifications. A special thanks to @Rick Butler and @Stephen Schneiter . @Robert Bodnar some of your questions were answered. Additional explanations will be forthcoming. Until next time CINers...
