It's that time of week everyone, here's your answer for this week's question, and have a great weekend!

Question:
In CertMaster Learn, how does the Learning Plan benefit the Student User's course progress?

Answer:
The Learning Plan presents the course material in a sequential format throughout the course, and lessons are not only presented in order but also the corresponding activities such as Labs (if applicable), Practice Questions, etc.

Students can also enter the course on any given day and choose the “Study Task” button which will take them right back to the point they left on the previous login.

Also, Students will be able to use the “Learning Plan Progress” bar as well as the “Today’s Knowledge Goal” section to help understand how many concepts or topics they will need to study for that give day. The Learning Plan Progress and Today’s Knowledge Goal sections will automatically update each day, and will adjust accordingly if no progress has been made over a given period of time.

At any time, the students can also check their “Strengths and Weaknesses” from the left side margin while in the learning tool. This will capture any areas where confidence levels were marked (this is a required activity during ALL lessons, see visual on attachment), and will also showcase areas where more attention may be needed. Lastly, this will also give the students a barometer of when they are “Exam-ready” by showcasing their overall progress from Beginner to Expert level of knowledge. This will continue to build as ALL activities within the course are completed. Best practice is that we recommend they reach at least the notch between proficient and advanced before taking their certification exam.

Please see the attachment here as well for visual representation of each concept.

Any additional questions or comments please feel free to share!

We are looking to add at least 3 additional talented and engaging Data+ instructors as we anticipate high demand for Data+ cohorts. Data+ is a pre-cursor to an intensive Data Analyst program that we deliver and we are essentially making it a pre-requisite for our students. We prefer that our instructors have some practical data analytics and/or data science background. US based citizens only please, as we often teach on military bases.

We will need 1 more evening instructor - delivery format is Monday through Thursday evening Online Live from 6:00 to 9:30 pm EST.

We will need 2 more daytime bootcamp instructors - delivery format is Monday through Thursday evenings Online live from 8:00 am to 4:00 pm CST and EST. These are delivered Online Live, at our classrooms through Florida and Alabama, and at client locations.

Our instructor team will tell you that they are treated well and we would like the opportunity to share our culture with you. Thank you for your consideration!

Hello everybody,

I have had some students sat the CASP 004 exam yesterday and today, and reported that a simulation and a few questions "disappeared" from the review page and impossible to retrieve before submitting the exam. This is not on-Vue at home, but on-premise exams carried out in our exam centre in Ireland.
Should we report this to Pearsonvue, or are these the new experimental simulations that Mr Lane described at the launch?
The behaviour of the review page raised some complaints from students who failed the exam and blamed this new feature for it.

Please help

This is only happening in CASP 004 apparently.
We had other students take the CASP 003 exam in the same exam centre and there was no problem whatsoever.

Greeting to all, I would like to suggest In Our CIN portal could have the instructor books, PowerPoint slides and lab access.
We have alot new partners and instructor join in and looking for the above resources. But can't find it.

In our portal we have the video recording and PowerPoint by the trainer whom teach the subject. But don't have the instructor book or the lab. We trainers must first use it before we can teach.

Other vendors equipped all this in their portal. So trainer can use the resources for teaching their students.

Hope Comptia can consider this request. Now A+ is going start. Yes we attend the TTT course. Then we going teach this course. It would be great if we given access the lab in our CIN portal.
No need to give individually but have it in portal itself.

It would be a great help to all the trainer.

Team, I just sat and passed/renewed my Network+ exam. Excellent exam! It definitely hit on most-to-all networking objectives. I thought the simulation questions were realistic and painted a real-world environment picture.

Know the 'what' and 'why' of each testing objective. Keep at it! Keep studying!

Good Morning and Good Afternoon, Everyone! It's that time of week again... QUESTION OF THE WEEK! Who's got the answer this time?

Thank you for all your continued engagement on these threads, we look forward to seeing all of your answers!

Have a great start to your week!

Or we should forget about it.

Happy Friday, Everyone! Our question this week is focused on the Calendar Feature in CertMaster Learn. How much do you really know about it?


Defining the Calendar Feature:

The Calendar feature is part of a Student's Learning Plan and is the first thing they see when they log in.

Students can use the calendar feature to set a desired course completion date to help them stay on track to finish their course on time. When a course completion date is set, it will adjust how many Knowledge Points a Student needs to earn each day to ensure they meet this goal.

Users can change this date at any time, see in the next part how each role can use the Calendar Feature.


How to set a completion date (specific to User Roles):


Student Users can change their course completion date’s day/month/year by selecting the dropdown arrow next to the current date, then select the desired date, then click “Set Deadline.”

Institution Admins, Supervisors, and Instructors can use the “impersonate” feature to set a course completion date for students already in the CertMaster Learn platform.



Choosing a course completion date:

CertMaster Learn will automatically set a default date and will need to be changed to your desired date.

When setting the course completion date, keep in mind when Students will want to sit for their certification exam. Students will want to set their completion date in advance of that date, so they are not completing the course right before your exam.

Missed the Official Launch Webinar today, but looked into the Exam Objectvies.
1001:

Still way to much stuff for 10 Days.

Beside, that really important Stuff is missing?

Not Happy with the Updated Version.
Just my 2c.

I think that we can have "Early Access" to the new A+ materials is available on the Learning Center starting today; How we can request that.I checked CompTIA site.Is it available yet?

Thank you

Greetings

I would like to request the instructor book which gives 1 month access to go thru can be extended to 3 months. Because 1 month is too short for us go through the cert master ebook.

We have the downloadable book. It's very good the cert master going thru chapter by chapter and also the assessment questions. All the instructor also will agree 1 month is too short for us to go thru. Hope Comptia can give us at least 3 months.

Anyone who works with Project+ training materials is welcome to join us in reviewing the PK0-005 outline, and see some of the new features we're adding to the course.

CompTIA Learning is currently developing the next version of the Project+ training course to align with the release of the upcoming PK0-005 exam. I would love to get your feedback on our proposed course outline and timetable. We are holding round table discussions about the proposed course outline and other changes we are planning on implementing to the Project+ course. We’re interested to hear directly from instructors in the classroom, as well as other decision makers, about the new course.

We have the following 1-hour timeslots available:

Academic partners

• Monday, April 4th - 3:00pm US Central (UTC -5:00)
• Wednesday, April 6th - 10:00am US Central (UTC -5:00)
• Thursday, April 7th - 2:00pm US Central (UTC -5:00)

Corporate and Delivery partners

• Tuesday, April 5th - 1:00pm US Central (UTC -5:00)
• Thursday, April 7th - 2:00pm US Central (UTC -5:00)

If none of these times are suitable, we would be happy to make other arrangements.

Please feel free to sign up for a time at this Smart Sheet: https://app.smartsheet.com/b/form/e0e967f7f32646e68e0d4b57e327d0a0 or email Katherine Keyes directly at [email protected] . A member of the Learning team will provide attendees with instructions for joining the call as well as the draft course outline.

Welcome to the new week, everyone! A slight change from our previous postings is the Poll Question above. Please participate and cast your vote. Thank you.

And here is our next question of the Week: How does the calendar feature, in CertMaster Learn, work and how is it beneficial to your students and yourself as the Instructor?

Join the CompTIA Instructor Network as we welcome Lee McWhorter who will lead our PenTest+ PT0-002 TTT series. The series will consist of twelve sessions covering the PenTest+ exam domains. Lee will teach the key cybersecurity concepts covered on the exam as well as hands-on activities with key technology tools used by cybersecurity professionals.

We will also discuss instructional strategy for presenting the concepts to students and best practices for implementing a PenTest+ course.

PenTest+ assesses the most up-to-date penetration testing, and vulnerability assessment and management skills necessary to determine the resiliency of the network against attacks. The CompTIA PenTest+ certification exam will verify successful candidates have the knowledge and skills required to:

• Plan and scope a penetration testing engagement
• Understand legal and compliance requirements
• Perform vulnerability scanning and penetration testing using appropriate tools and techniques, and then analyze the results
• Produce a written report containing proposed remediation techniques, effectively communicate results to the management team, and provide practical recommendations

I just saw on the CompTIA subreddit that Professor Messer said that the 1001/1002 retirement has been pushed back to October 20th instead of it being August 31st like the 1101/1102 said. Is that true? Not that I don't trust Professor Messer, but just want to make sure. Thanks so much!

Fellow CINers,

I'm working on a project as part of the NICE Modernizing Talent Management working group. We're developing guidance for entry level job seekers in the cyber security field. I'm seeking your thoughts and advice based on what you tell your students.

#1) How do you define and describe the term ‘entry-level’ for technical, non-technical, and transitional military cybersecurity roles, regardless of age (consider career pivots)?

#2) If your student can put in the work and attain a Security+ or a Network+ (entry level) certification; how does that relate or 'count' as experience?

#3) Thinking about your most successful (in terms of employment) entry level certification student; what made them successful?

Thanks in advance for your input!

Brian

I am a member of the CompTIA instructor network and am a Platinum partner at the CompTIA Store. I am actively teaching / tutoring for Security+, CASP+ and Network+ as an independent contractor through two companies. I am interested in understanding what partner ability I have to get discounts for my students or access to student manuals for my students. I have called a couple of CompTIA phone numbers this morning and no one has been able to help. I believe that I should have a CompTIA representative that I can reach out to as an instructor who can help answer my questions. How do I find out who that person is and contact them? Thank you!

Good Afternoon

Where do I purchase the Instructor Kit for Net + ?
