"(ISC)² has created an entry-level cybersecurity certification – a first step through which we can attract and develop diverse talent to round out the cybersecurity teams of the future, including students, recent college graduates and career changers. This is a major shift for (ISC)² and for the industry, and we hope you share our excitement about the prospect of helping so many embark on a new career in cybersecurity.

I am very happy as New Horizons Cairo training center is going to add the most updated PEN+ ,A+,N+ and CYSA+ courses to its public schudle in Q2

It's Friyay Instructors!! And time for the answer to our Question of the week which was: How do I interpret my reporting? How do I break down my reporting for my student?

CM Learn
Within CertMaster Learn you are able to use the CertMaster Learn Reporting Guide to help you effectively interpret the reporting for your students. Our Guide provides you with key indicators as a way of assessing and dissecting the analytics presented to you within the reporting hub, the Boost Dashboard. As the Instructor, you have the ability to view, review and dissect your student's performance as well as your Group’s performance. Remember, the Group's feature is a very important part of the reporting process because grouping the Instructor and the Students (forming a 'class'), helps drive the reporting to the Boost Dashboard. The CertMaster Learn Reporting Guide is linked here.

CM Labs
Reporting is available through Usage-Based Billing (Contact your Business Development Manager to enquire ) and through the CertMaster Learn and CertMaster Labs Integrated product. With the CertMaster Learn and CertMaster Lab Integrated product, you will have all the benefits of dissecting your reporting within the CertMaster Learn Boost Dashboard, Because you will be viewing the reporting within CertMaster Learn, the CertMaster Learn Reporting Guide will be a great resource to use when navigating your student's progress and dissecting their performance.

CM Practice
Within CertMaster Practice, you are able to use the CertMaster Practice Reporting Guide to assist with effectively interpreting the reporting for your learner. This Guide will provide you with key indicators to look out for when interpreting the analytics contained within the three reporting structures: Report Home, Course Summary, and Learner Progress. The Instructor is presented with robust reporting within CertMaster Practice and we have linked our CertMaster Practice Reporting Guide here, so please check it out.

We also have a fantastic testimonial from one of our CIN’ers!! Thank you to @Rick Butler, who has established some excellent best practices within CertMaster Learn and our reporting hub, the Boost Dashboard!

Happy Monday Instructors!

Please excuse me if i missed it.

Happy Friday Instructors!!

This weeks question was: What Instructor Resources do I have access to?

The Answer: As an Instructor on the CertMaster Learn Platform you will have access to the resources assigned to the Course you will be teaching. The resources will vary with each certification, but will be housed on your Boost Dashboard under Instructor Resources.
Some of the platform resources include:
-Instructor PowerPoint Presentations: Outlined Presentations for instructor led training
-Mapping Course Content: Structured table of contents of entire lesson plan outline, so the instructor can adjust to their schedule.
-Onboarding Checklist: Guided information for instructors to verify they have all the information they need
-Presentation Planner: Outline timeline and average time stamps for each lesson
-Setup Files: Knowledge and Frequently asked questions when Planning, Performing, Conducting and Analyzing a course.
-Transcripts: English subtitled transcripts of transition guide videos


Some outside platform resources include:
-User Manuals: The User manual breaks down the platforms access, features and resources from an Admin and Instructor and Student perspective.
-Reporting Guides: A breakdown of the reporting features for our CertMaster Learn and CertMaster Practice Platforms. These guides explains the details for all reporting aspects.

I'm happy to say that all of my fall semester grades are in, and I'm enjoying a workload for this month that is almost nothing. I am teaching a single course in digital forensics that for some unknown reason has only one student, requiring adjustment since a number of the assignments are designed to be done by student groups. For the final project, I've designed a special project that will involve assisting the student by co-authoring an article that relates to identifying available free resources that relate to learning about digital forensics. When done, my plan is to submit it to Certification Magazine for potential publication (I'm a periodic article submitter there). It should be interesting, as we detail resources like:
Digital Forensics Basics Course

And yes @Rick Butler we will be identifying some of the resources you've identified.

Hello Everyone, just sharing information about a program to get you started with a registered apprenticeship program. Let me know what questions you have. This is for US only.


CompTIA Apprenticeships for Tech Intermediary Ignitor - US ONLY

Did you know that you can leverage the CompTIA courses that you already offer to provide the related technical instruction (RTI) for apprenticeships? Did you also know that RTI providers can now serve as intermediary sponsors for a registered apprenticeship? By serving in this role your organization can increase your value to employers in your area, help close the tech skills gaps in your community, and provide immediate relevance and experience in tech roles for your students. By serving as an intermediary you will bring students and employers together to meet immediate talent needs in your labor market, and give your students a competitive advantage through paid work while they learn and earn certifications.

Interested, but need help? We can help, at no cost to you, through the support of the US Department of Labor. CompTIA Apprenticeships for Tech can help organizations leverage CompTIA created apprenticeship standards for five in-demand job roles: Tech Support Specialist, Network Support Specialist, Cybersecurity Support Technician, Tech Project Coordinator, and Data Analyst. The competencies gained from any of these apprenticeships provide a solid foundation for multiple tech career pathways. Read the Getting Started with CompTIA Apprentices for Tech guide to learn more about the standards.



We invite allwho are interested in becoming apprenticeship intermediary to join the CompTIA Apprenticeships for Tech Intermediary Ignition Lab Spring 2022 cohort.

Organizations will:

1. Receive consulting expertise and support to streamline and accelerate the launch of a new apprenticeship program.
2. Receive access to tools and resources to help organizations become an intermediary.
3. Gain access to a network of participating organizations to exchange information and ideas.

Just fill out this interest form by March 15, 2022 and a member of the CompTIA Apprenticeship for Tech team will contact you to address any questions that you have.

I have encouraged instructors in Georgia technical colleges to attend the TTT sessions and also to join CIN. I hear from them all the time of do I know low cost or free good training and first thing I tell them is get in the TTT CIN classes as most are great. Lee is doing a good job with PEN+ now. And when we have Deep Dive again I will promote it to and I hope I have the opportunity to teach a deep dive again or to teach a TTT.

Soooo @Liz Wannemacher , what's this I hear about a potential upcoming renewal of Project+?

I'm getting curious!

Hi.
I missed PenTest+ TTT session 2 and session 3. I'm in GMT so the sessions begin in 01h00 AM in local time. Not easy sometimes for me.
So I need links to catch up, please.

Team, I have recently passed CISSP! Wow...what a journey! I've actually made a video about it, which I will share. Last year, I've concurred CASP+, which was also a challenge. Funny, I was unsuccessful twice with both certs before passing. Talk about stress, but I set a goal and achieved it.

Both certifications were challenging in their own way. CASP+ is more on the technical side. Those simulations...UGH! Know your Linux. Unfortunately, I am weak with Linux. I am a Windows guy!

CISSP is on the management side. DO NOT FIX ANYTHING, unlike CASP+, you want to fix the problem. With CISSP, you are an IT Manager, CISO, and other roles of IT management. You truly need to know the flow nd the "why" of everything. Memorizing terms and the steps in a process (RMF), will not work. How does everything connect? Is the CIA Triad affected? The security treatment that was decided on, does it align with company goals and objectives?

Both certs are excellent and hold a tremendous amount of value to your career. Keep studying!
