Pearson Disability Accommodation Problems

I am looking to find out how many people have students or themselves have problems with Pearson Vue and Accommodations issues. I am getting ready to draft a demand to PearonVue on this matter.

It seems to me that Pearson is violating the ADA on several levels.

PersonVue refuses to allow accommodation on the at-home testing platform PerasonVue Online Testing. This is a direct violation of the ADA under Title III. People with disabilities are barred from the PearonVue Online Testing platform. People with mobility disabilities are forced to go to a testing center, leave their homes, get rides to the testing centers, go to some testing centers that are not ADA compliant, then test in public. At the same time, people without disabilities are allowed to test anywhere.

"The ADA requires that any person offering examinations related to post-secondary education or profession “shall offer such examinations or courses in a place and manner accessible to persons with disabilities.” 42 U.S.C. § 12189. Regulations interpreting this section to impose an obligation on the entity offering such an examination that “ [t]he examination is selected and administered so as to best ensure that, when the examination is administered to an individual with a disability that impairs sensory, manual, or speaking skills, the examination results accurately reflect the individual's aptitude or achievement level or whatever other factor the examination purports to measure, rather than reflecting the individual‟s impaired sensory, manual, or speaking skills.” 28 C.F.R. § 36.309."

The ADA makes it unlawful to “coerce, intimidate, threaten, or interfere with any individual in the exercise or enjoyment of, or on account of his or her having exercised or enjoyed, any right granted or protected by this Act.” 42 U.S.C. § 12203.

The ADA requires that any person offering examinations related to post-secondary education or profession “shall offer such examinations or courses in a place and manner accessible to persons with disabilities.” 42 U.S.C. § 12189. As part of this duty to make an examination accessible, the regulations require that any documentation requested be “reasonable and limited to the need for the modification, accommodation, or auxiliary aid or service requested.” 28 C.F.R. § 36.309(b)(1)(iv).

Will a Proctor be able to Administer the Tech+ in a Classroom as with the ITF+

Will the Tech+ be like the ITF+ (and Cloud Essentials) in the exam can be proctored by a teacher at a high school campus versus at a testing center?

I already know that like the ITF+, there will be no maintenance requirements (no three-year cycle) for the Tech+.

CS0-003 Lesson 1 Question 14 typo: "patchwork"

The Official CompTIA CySA+ (Exam CS0-003) Lesson 1 Question 14:

Inaccurate content: “A system administrator is performing patchwork on their organization's system. The administrator realizes the maintenance window will close before they complete the patchwork.”

Explanation: “Patchwork” means something made up of an incongruous variety of pieces or parts; hodgepodge.

Suggested correction: change “patchwork” to “patch work.”

It seems that errors in version1.0 of course materials are not corrected before the course is replaced three years later. Is this true?

Does anyone here know CompTIA's policies and procedures for correcting inaccurate course materials?

  • Question
To validate that I am an official CompTIA instructor, do I need to have the CTT+ or is there another new related certification?

I have probably asked this question many times. I am asking this question because the CTT+ certification is no longer available. And I would like to deliver official CompTIA courses officially with the CompTIA partner network. To deliver the classes, do I need this CTT+ Credential? @Stephen Schneiter Thanls a lot

Application of credits for exam renewal

Hey guys!

A few weeks ago, I submitted the credits (50 CEUs) I received after achieving the Cisco CCNA CyberOps certification, to renew the CompTIA Security+ certification. In the section dedicated to Continuing Education of Certmetrics, credits have been applied (100%), but the expiration date remains the same: 3 years after obtaining Security+. Should I wait until it expires, so that it is automatically renewed, is that it? And once renewed, are the other certifications (A+ and Network+) also renewed?

Thanks for any clarification.

Lesson 5 practice questions for Security+ 701 in learn.comptia.org includes Cloud questions?

Hello,

During a Security+ 701 course week, students will try the learn.comptia.org practice questions for the 16 lessons we deliver for the 701 level exam. I have noticed that lesson 5 questions which are for the Network Architecture will have Cloud-related questions that were not discussed yet during lesson 5, Cloud topics are lesson 6 and should therefore appear for lesson 6 questions, not lesson 5, has anyone else noticed this?

CySA+ CS0-003 prep warning - instructor manual missing slides from margin notes

Previous CompTIA instructor manuals had margin notes showing where each slide fits into the topics. For example, the Security+ SY0-701 instructor manual does a good job of listing almost every slide in the margin notes. In the CySA+ (CS0-003) instructor manual, starting with Lesson 6, the margin notes say “Show slide(s)”, but not when to show each slide. For example:

Lesson 6 has 20 content slides. Only 10 are noted in the instructor manual. Margin notes in this lesson are missing PPT slide numbers: 5,6,8,9,11,12,18,19,20,21

Lesson 7 has 20 content slides. Only 4 are noted in the instructor manual. Margin notes in this lesson are missing PPT slide numbers: 5,6,7,8,9,10,12,13,14,1516,17,18,20,21,22, and 23.

Lesson 8 has 31 content slides. Only 12 are noted in the instructor manual. Margin notes in this lesson are missing PPT slide numbers: 5,6,7,8,9,10,12,13,14,15,16,17,25,26, and 27.

If course materials aren't quality checked and fixed during development, this work has to be done by each instructor. I corrected these and other omissions in my copy of the manual. I would share my corrected manual with other instructors, however I don't think that is allowed.
