Last week I delivered a Pentest+ for Firebrand training, the labs were a great resource to support the course. Have you delivered a Pentest+ recently and used the labs.

Has anyone received their voucher for Network+ yet? Not sure if it has been issued...thought I would ask....

Hi CompTIA Tech+ partners,
We'd like you to know about a new resource that is under development that you can share with your students and fellow CTE teachers to learn more about Tech+ launching this month. https://partners.comptia.org/certifications/comptia-tech-plus

Please reply about what other resources you'd like to see added here. Thanks!

Hi Forks, just a quick one when are we getting our N+ Exam Vouchers

Does anyone know when the new SecurityX certification is being released? All I have able to find is the "Coming in 2024" announcement.

Are we still having TTT session 7 today?

Oprah, Bill and Sam talking AI, and everybody else listening...​

You know that heading is true . Oprah Winfrey will be discussing Artificial Intelligence with Bill Gates and Sam Altman later this month. AI and the Future of Us airs on ABC on September 12, 2024, at 8 p.m. ET. See Oprah Interview for more. In case you’re wondering, they will explore AI’s impact on our lives. Alright fellow CompTIA instructors, if you were writing Oprah’s questions, what would you ask?

Need some prompts?​

Here are the questions perplexity suggested. These began at a 6th-grade reading level before I polished them:

• How do you think robots and computers will change our everyday lives in the next 10 years?
• What are some big problems that companies developing AI face, and how are they fixing them?
• Can you tell us about a time when smart machines helped solve a big problem in the world? What did you learn from it?
• How do you make sure that making new smart machines is safe and follows rules?
• How could AI change how we learn in school, and what might be some bad things about that?
• How can we make sure everyone can use smart machines, not just some people?
• What are you doing to keep people’s information safe as smart machines get used more?
• How do you think smart machines will change jobs, and how can people get ready for these changes?
• How can robots and computers help with big world problems like climate change and health?
• How can we talk about smart machines in a way that includes everyone’s ideas and worries?

Your turn to create some AI questions​

Now that you have some sample questions, it is time to write your own. before September 12, that is. ?

I read this article yesterday:


Does anyone knows when the Security+ / AI, Pentest+ / AI and CySA+ / AI are coming out? Also, will it be a course, a mini exam, or a full exam in order to get the AI on those 3 certs?

I can't believe nobody posted this on CIN yet.

Hi everyone,

I was approached by someone who wanted me to teach Core 1 and Core 2 in five days- TOTAL. The classes would be 9 am- 6 pm. I could see if they asked for 5 days each, but five days total? Is this possible to do? What is the recommended time to teach the CompTIA Core 1 and Core 2? I'd like to go back and ask him to provide more time for the training before I accept. Thanks!

Hello everyone,

I’m excited to share that I’ve recently taken on a part-time role as an IT Instructor in the Department of Computer Studies at a State University, alongside my work as a Freelance CompTIA Trainer. With 15 years of experience in IT operations support, I’m looking forward to leveraging this experience in my new role.

I’m considering proposing the integration of CompTIA A+ and Network+ training into our university curriculum. I understand that CompTIA training can be delivered in various formats, ranging from intensive bootcamps to more extended programs over several weeks, I am interested in adapting this content into a longer-term academic format that aligns with our semester schedule. Given our state university's very tight budget, I am exploring whether this adaptation is feasible and how it can be aligned with CompTIA’s guidelines and conditions.

If anyone has experience with integrating CompTIA certifications into an academic program, particularly within budget constraints, or knows if CompTIA offers semester-long formats for these certifications, I would greatly appreciate your advice and insights.

Thank you!

Hi everyone,

I am seeking an experienced IT instructor to teach A+ through Security+ certifications. The position is based at a school in the San Fernando Valley, near Los Angeles, California.

If you or someone you know is interested, please reach out for more details.

Thank you!

I have a scenario where I am being asked which two certs would be most valuable and which would be most beneficial for career changers transitioning from the military.

In your humble opinion, which would be the two that would make them the most valuable and job ready?

It was already suggested Sec+, and Cloud+

Can you let me know, your thoughts?

Hi,

I’m experiencing some permission issues while trying to follow the instructions in the lab. For example, one of the questions says, “Select the New Folder icon to create a working directory folder titled Example at the path /home/coder/DataX/Lab01/Example.”

I cannot read or write to the DataX directories, but I noticed that I can write to the parent (coder) directory. See the image below. Does anyone know how I could resolve these issues? Your help will be greatly appreciated.
