I was asked a question, why does the Network + course have to be a week long course?

How long do take to train the Network + course? a week, two weeks?

What would your answer be when posed this question? why a week or longer? and would i show them my detailed plan for the training?

Theres another question in there, how do you plan for the week or forever long you train your course?

I always want to improve so some insight will be appreciated.

Hi @Stephen Schneiter

Good day to you.

""NOT REGARDING EXAM VOUCHER""

I registered Data+ using my outlook email address.

I watched all the videos. However, I never got the materials.

I checked with my fellow trainers and they have received the materials. Can you look into it?

Regards
U

There are multiple answers to this question, so feel free to share!
Enjoy the rest of your week, and check back in Friday for our answer!

Where can I go to get the A+ teaching material and core 1 lab material?

I was told this information was available to us partners.

Until recently if you renewed a CompTIA certification by taking an exam your certification was not renewed by 3 years from expire date but date you took test on. If used CEUs and renewed early it renewed from expire date.

When I just passed Security+ and it renewed network+ and security+ for 3 years from expire date. So mine expire in 2027. I am glad they do this.

I agree with following but caveat for you. If you do then have a long expire date, nothing counts for renewal on that new cert date until you get in 3 year window to expire date.

My organization is in need of a CompTIA certified A+ and Network+ instructor. This opportunity is for someone who would love to work with the underserved community and assist this very willing class to advance.

Competitive pay and great team.

The material seems to imply that delimited files are structured, but on the practice exam there was a question asking which file types are considered unstructured and the only right answer was Delimited. Was that an error on the question? or are delimited files a weird hybrid of both structured and unstructured?

New Comptia A+ modules is really great. For academic use for college and university is very Good.

The problem is with corporate classes.
I would suggest a trainer teach Comptia A+ 1101 course to the management staff as their students. Let the trainer go thru the modules and also finish the lab exercise within 5 days.

Really would like see what the students feedback. And hope in our TTT series can tell us how to teach the corporate students within 5 days. Theory and hands on practical lab.

This not only for A+ but for Network+, Security+, CYSA+ , Pentest+, CASP+.

The modules are really very good. It's will take atleast 7 days according to my calculations to do theory and practical for each courses above.

Can try doing training for internal staff of comptia and get the feed back from them. Let them sit for exam too.

I have already trained Pen Test+. But I still haven't received the voucher for the exam. what do i have to do

Hi All,

Have any one booked the exam using VUE to take the exam at home.

I tried but it shows all the dates and greyed out for April and I cannot navigate to May.

Tried different exam, different browser, still no go.

Regards
U

I completed the Data+ TTT course and still have not received a voucher. I attended all 6 webinars, but was there another step I was supposed to take?

VR since its inception has been used for training. Recently, VR has started to become mainstream ever since Meta's metaverse goals. I was wondering, who feels as I do that its about time that VR is used in the IT industry. The closest was the Cisco CCIE Virtual Reality Experience that was an internal demo. I believe now that CompTIA is serious about their own training materials, it is ripe open for CompTIA to be first.

I really appreciate the new TTT series that is going on for A+.Does anyone use any other resources to enhance their teaching of A+. I am always looking for better ways to interest my students in computers I use both David Bombal and Mike Meyers on udemy.com

Once again I feel we're being done over here.
I have just got my key for my 1101 and 1102 Instructor manuals.
I am running 1001 this week and we've just been talking about the exams. I have just seen that the 1000 series will be retired in October 2022, giving anyone currently studying it only 6 months to complete both courses and both exams.
Why such a short time? If they fail an exam there will be limited time to resit it. They can't get time off work to attend courses at the best of times and now they've got to cram both into 6 months???
Net+ was updated in Sept 21. That exam retires June 30th 2022, 9 months later so why is A+ different?

We are considering CASP+ for my community college. Not part of our regular cirriculum but an advanced single class we'd offer to students, alumni, as well as others interested in taking the CASP test. Just wondering if anybody has feedback on the CertMaster Learn + Labs for CASP? If so, do you feel it helped you and/or your students prepare for and pass the CASP+ exam?

Thanks!

John

Friends,
I registered for all A+ sessions and only had 1 live webinar.
I didn't realize why I'm not notified via email of the other sessions? if they continue.

reminder that CIN Train-the-Trainer : A+ Core 1 220-1101 Session 1

LIVE WEBCAST DATE: April 12, 2022

Team, PS 2022 is here and back in person! That is fantastic news! Looking forward to learning more about the topics and events!

Mates, Friends

Please make me clear:

I know that to be an Cybersecurity CompTIA Expert Level need to pass for those path:

CompTIA Security Infrastructure Expert
(Security+ / CySA+ / PenTest+ / CASP+)
or
CompTIA Security Analytics Expert
(Security+ / CySA+ / CASP+)


My question is: What is the expiry date for Expert level once a candidate achieves the goal? and

my other point to be clear for example: someone passed Security+ after 4 years, CySA+ and then 3 years passed Casp+ . Can this one be seen like an Expert Level even one of certification not updated?

Best regards

Has CompTIA thought about offering merchandise through the CompTIA store? Shirts, hats, jackets, etc.

AS L&D professionals, our goal is to help others learn and grow through education, but, what about ourselves? What professional development activities are of value and how do you pursue tham?

Does or have any ran into the issue with booking the CAS004 at a Vue testing center? I have tester’s wanting to take the exam but are unable to schedule and I’m unable to schedule using registration manager. Can any provide assistance or explain? Thanks in advance.
