CompTIA A+ Certification Course Instructor Needed

Hello, The college I work for will be putting on an A+ Certification Course. It will be a 3-Week 5:30-8P (Pacific Time). We had an instructor setup and was good to go, but he pulled out due to family reasons. The course we are building will have the Certmaster login to allow further training for the students. It will also include 2 exam vouchers.
The Class would be from Jan 17-Feb 3rd.

Please email me back at [email protected] if you have any questions or would like to assist :)

Thank you for your time!

  • Question
Common mistakes high school students make on A+ and methods of encouragement.

Hello Forum,

Good afternoon. Apologies if this question has already been asked, I am still learning the setup. We will be starting our certification course this spring. Our students will be high schoolers (Juniors and Seniors). My question is for anyone who has worked with this age group before. What are some common mistakes you have noticed your students make with the A+ certification? What are some ways you encourage your students to take the course AND complete the certification?

My Best,
T.S.

CompTIA ITF+ Update

Hello All,

With the recent update of the CompTIA A+ course, I'm wondering does anyone know if there are any plans for an update of the CompTIA ITF+ course. It looks like it was released around 2019 and some of the content is starting to show its age. We recently started to use the CompTIA resources and we are trialling the ITF+ course as a foundation for learners who haven't no IT experience. On our pathway some of our learners groups stop after the ITF+ whilst others progress to the higher level A+ course. The learners going onto A+ can detect the new content and call out the legacy content in the ITF+

Thanks

Cracking down on braindumps and leaks

So... Braindump sites are everywhere. And then there's videos like these...

Where the creator specifically goes over the question and confirms that the question is on the exam.

Can CompTIA confirm that:
  • They are protecting the value of our certifications by cracking down on dump sites like ExamTopics?
  • They are protecting the value of our certification by revoking certification status for know NDA breakers?
I dislike pointing to specific people like Selena, but this stuff is really blatant.

  • Question
Threats Intelligence

Hi buddy
someone know if CompTIA will Introduce son or later for Cyber security field Threat Intelligence a certification? I understand that it cover in CySA+ Certification but its time to create a new ones for cybersecurity threat analyst focus. I see that in the Security Operation Center has new team that not only react by events trigged by security controls and SIEM but their task is proactive hunting for threats inside and outside network organization and providing TTP's of Adversaries and share it to all level of organization.

I understand that CySA+ Certification well explaining this taks and how this team works but if CompTIA vendor could have a certification in deed focus on deep Threat Intelligence was wonderful.
I know some vendor are already providing this certification i think CompTIA need to keep track.

What your viewpoint Guys?

November's Topic and GIVEAWAY!!

Hey everyone, we know that a lot of you are winding down your semesters and/or training programs, and since we are also approaching the end of the year, we feel it is time for some collaboration, and another GIVEAWAY! For this month, we want to make this more of an interactive “topic” and less of a question.

If you think back to your journey with your CompTIA solutions, what was a goal you had for your course/program, and how were you able to achieve that goal (or work towards) through your work within the CompTIA platforms?

Any and ALL answers are welcome, and we really want to make this interactive, so feel free to chime into each other’s responses, or our responses, if applicable. Each submission will enter you into the giveaway (for CompTIA “swag” or FREE content, your choice), and we will draw MULTIPLE winners at the end of the month. Thank you all and we look forward to hearing of some great feedback, testimonials and best practices that you are using today!

Renewing CompTIA certifications with non-CompTIA IT industry certification

After passing the CASP+ exam in April 2022, my A+, Net+, Security+, CySA+, and PenTest+ are all good through 2025. So is my Data+. My IT Fundamentals+, Project+, Server+, and Cloud Essentials+ are all good for life. That leaves my Cloud+ certification. I passed the beta exam in October 2020 which means it expires in October 2023. Normally, I retake an exam to recertify, or I take a higher level exam to recertify. There is no higher level exam for Cloud+ and I have no idea when the next version will come out, so I'm looking at the list of non-CompTIA IT industry certifications that will give me enough CEUs to renew it.

I was a bit surprised by the list. It contains everything from AWS and Google exams (which make perfect sense) to GIAC exams (ridiculously priced exams) to CGEIT Certified in the Governance of Enterprise IT (advanced level governance exam) to Offensive Security exams (which require hands-on lab activities) to (ISC)2 Certified in Cybersecurity - CC (an entry-level) cybersecurity exam.

Are there any insiders who can give us insight into how CompTIA chooses the non-CompTIA industry certifications that are accepted for renewing CompTIA certifications?

Meanwhile, I received a free voucher for the (ISC)2 Certified in Cybersecurity - CC exam so I'll be using that to renew my Cloud+.

Passed Comptia Network+ today

Although I have been busy at work, I decided to challenge my networking skills by taking CompTIA Network+ today and passed with a very narrow pass of 761. I have been postponing this paper for a while and decided to dust myself and see the outcome of my skillset.
Wish me luck, I am preparing for CASP+.
Let me hope I will pass this too.
