New Cloud+ TTT anytime soon?

Hello,

I have begun looking at Cloud+ since we're expanding our curriculum to include Cloud. I was wondering if there were any plans to offer the Cloud+ TTT anytime soon? Or is it possible to get access to the prior TTT sessions for Cloud+?

Thanks,

CySA+ TTT voucher

Hello everyone,

When is the voucher expected to arrive?

Because @Stephen Schneiter didn't mention anything about the voucher's arrival during the sessions currently DataSys+.

The expected date for the voucher to arrive, and it has been a month since the end of CySA+ TTT series. I thought it was faster than before.

Cyber Event for Elementary Age Kids

Hi all,

I am just wondering if anyone has any great ideas of what I might be able to do with elementary aged kids at an community event. I am looking for a quick 5-7 minute activity that the kids can do and learn a bit about cyber security. Previously I have had them make a cipher wheel and learn how to use it. I like the ability for them to take something physical home too. I am trying to also go low tech as it is an outdoor event and rather not have to deal with power or weather.

thanks.

  • Question
Continuing Education

Does completing the Train the Trainer for the new version of a Certification cover Continuing Education requirements? I have a CISSP but the Comptia continuing education seems much more difficult to understand how to meet requirements. I am a full time IT Professional and I also teach college classes Comptia Security +, Palo Alto EDU 210, and coming soon Cisco Cyber Ops.

Teaching Opportunities during AY 2024-2025

Hi Everyone-

IESEG School of Management will be starting a Masters in Cybersecurity Management in Sept 2024. While the courses aren't cert prep per se, they are aligned with certification and we expect the students to earn two certs. Therefore, I will probably be needing some certified instructors for a few courses (e.g., Pen Testing).

So, if you might be interested in teaching for us (in English) in Lille, France, please touch base with me at EMEACon or send me your CV at [email protected]. As we are AACSB accredited, our instructors must meet AQ requirements (PhD active in research or Masters and active practitioner). For vacataire/adjunct positions, we would probably be most interested in folks from the BeNeLux and possibly UK&I community (i.e., commuting distance). For visiting positions (intensive - 16h over 4 days), other regions could work.

Hoping to meet some of you at EMEACon.
-Jen

  • Question
High School Cybersecurity Students going for Security+

Hi everyone,

I currently teach a full-year (182 school days, 40 minutes per day) class in Cybersecurity at my high school. The students are doing a course for college credit from a university. The course as it exists currently is therefore not aligned with Security+, but we're hoping to have some students who want to go for the certification do so.

There is of course some intersection, my university-level course does cover malware, threat assessment, security policies, I do some linux, etc. but I have concerns for how the students will do. I can have them practice material from CompTIA but I know I'll be very pressed for time if I'm covering the college-credit course essentials and also focusing on Security+.

Does anyone have specific experience along these lines? High schoolers going for Security+ and in a course that doesn't 100% focus on that exam specifically?

Thanks in advance!

  • Question
Purchasing Vouchers For Government or Non-Profit Orgs

Hello All I'm not entirely sure if this is really the right platform to ask this question, but I figured most of us on here are Instructors and have a need to purchase vouchers for exams. Working for Government or Non-Profits creates minor headaches when it comes to acquiring products or services for the first time. You need x number of quote (unless sole provider) and must accept tax exemption etc.
That all said, I recently mounted all my CompTIA Certs on my office wall, which has inspired a bunch of my team to pursue certifications of their own. I can assist with tutoring them but I need to look at purchasing the vouchers etc.
Are there specific vendors that cater for vouchers or do they all come direct from CompTIA?

Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.

mnemonics

From the TTT, I learned this cool mnemonic "I Eat Three Eggs In Virginia Daily"
  1. Identify the problem
  2. Establish a theory
  3. Test the theory
  4. Establish plan of action
  5. Implement the solution
  6. Verify full system functionality
  7. Document the findings
Thanks to LarryG for sharing!
I'll probably change Virginia to Victoria, for my end. haha!

What other mnemonics do you use in your class?
