I recently passed the AWS Solution Architect Associate exam. Two days later I received a heads up email message from CompTIA that one of my certifications was 180 days from expiration. I submitted the email from AWS for CEUs via Certmetrics and was very, very pleasantly surprised to receive follow up email from CompTIA that the AWS certification was applied to both Cloud+ and Linux+.

I've always been a fan of CEUs but I have to give a big positive shout out to the Certmetrics team for the quick and thorough turn around.

About that AWS Solution Architect Associate exam; I studied for 3 months and failed my first attempt (by 20 points). Passed 10 days later. That was one tough exam.

I passed SY0 - 701 with 780 /750 this morning

My story:
Last year I initially had registered to go for SY0 601 and was studying material related to this, then this year come early February resorted to 701, going through the last year 701 TTT resources. I changed from 601 to 701 because of the discussions within this forum, for the need to be 701 certified to teach 701 students. used CERT MASTER Learning, and practice questions

I thank you all for the discussions and support including Peter Hanwith-horden (My SY0 601 trainer, etc)

This is My first Certification, apart from my academic qualifications like MSc in Computer Security and Forensics (Distinction)- UK, BSc IT, BA HRM, Dip. Accounting. and some experience (18 years in Handson IT including Lecturing at Universities, pentest, Networks, software development).

Now going to try Pentest +, your support will be appreciated

I really appreciate

Looking for remote work

I am thrilled to share that I have passed the CySA+ certification exam.
I am grateful to CIN for the voucher after the TTT series.

The CompTIA Product Development team is looking for feedback from the CIN community! They have asked if I could post the following request. Please take a few minutes and respond to their survey.

We've had requests from instructors to be able to do testing using a locked-down browser. If you have experience using locked-down browsers, please take a few minutes to answer this 4-question survey about your experience. Thank you!

I am glad to report I passed CompTIA CySA+ today. I set a high bar for myself by taking the CySA+ rather than the Security+ and my score was just barely above passing, but a passing grade is a passing grade, right?

Alas, I never did get the two vouchers that were promised to me for attending the Security+ and CySA+ Train-the-Trainer sessions, but a co-worker of mine was able to get me a voucher through another contact they had at CompTIA. So if you're still waiting, maybe try another avenue or bug a colleague with good connections!

Hi. Can anyone tell me how to register for free training and exam vouchers? I was told about it by one of the members but I'm not sure how to access those resources.

Dear all :
Good day to you. May I know why I cant find
assisted Lab : configure a NAT Firewall in certmaster Lab ?

Curious. Is anyone teaching IT Fundamentals and looking to move to the new Tech+? I am putting together a Sneak Peek for the new Tech+ and looking for a lead instructor. If you would like to share your experience and discuss the differences between the new course with your fellow CIN members, DM me, and let's connect.

Hello,

does anyone the website where we as Instructors and Academic Partners have access to the Free Instructor Manuals for A+, Sec+, etc?
Any help would be greatly appreciated

G'day All,

Wondering if anyone else experiences a lag on labs that use Linux VM's and if there was a fix.
I've noted this myself and several of my learners pointed out the same issue to me on my last course as it caused them a bit of frustration. The Windows VMs are fine but in the Linux VMs the mouse movement lags just enough to make things annoying. Not sure where the machines are hosted. -We are logging in from Australia which might be the issue (But why not for the windows machines?). Note that internet connections, speed, quality are all fine and tested from different locations with different networks. It's consistent and with the Linux VM's. Also I noted this on Sec+ labs and Network+ labs.

Thanks for any suggestions.

Good morning all, I'm looking to start a CompTIA training cell with my company and I'm just looking for some general guidance. I taught A+, Network+, and Security+ while I was on active duty in the Marine Corps for about 3 years. I've since transitioned to civilian life and I see the opportunity to expand the company I work for into the CompTIA training sector in our region. I have attended various formalized instructor trainings through the military but I'd still like to attend a TTT if possible. Also, I've contacted CompTIA about becoming a delivery partner, I hope that works out too!

Is there anything you guys would recommend that someone just starting out should do? I have the classroom experience teaching and the certifications and education. I've never done any kind of sales or business development though.

TIA

Is it possible for one CIN member to be recognized by multiple email addresses? I originally became a CIN member using my personal Gmail account. I then later start attending TTT series via my day job's email. Now I have an adjunct teaching position and I'd like to use that (edu) email as well. Is there anyway to resolve these emails to a single CIN account, or do I need to make one CIN account for each email address?

Thanks much,

Hi

I would like to deliver or conduct COMPTIA training, what are the requirements of becoming a trainer of COMPTIA.

After Configuring the Private Switch immediately the procedure tells you to configure an External Switch and then you are instructed to go to the Virtual Machine and do IP config command. When command is done it does not show any IP address yet the following instruction tells you to put an IP address that you find. Then later instructions flow to change the Network Adapter based on the specified IP Addresses. and then tells you that the IP address will not show up, later to change to external switch. so confusing for someone. Did you meet the same challenge.

However based on My experience in working with Virtual Machines, I knew what was going on and managed to work around.

Yes, it is time to talk about the next version of Network+! The new version will launch in mid-may 2024! Join CIN and special guest @Hod Berman as he takes a Sneak Peek into the changes in the new exam objectives. We will discuss how to cover the content with students and suggest various labs to let students gain hands-on experience as they prepare for certification.

Networking is networking! Or is it! Come join us to hear how things are changing!
