Hi All. I have been in the IT field for over 20 years and in different industries. I've never officially trained anybody aside from colleagues and sometimes hold tips and tricks inhouse. I hold a Network+ cert, as well as a few Microsoft certifications, including an Microsoft Certified Trainer. I've always wanted to be an instructor in IT and now that I have my MCT I would like to begin part time. So aside from having my certifications, How can I get an opportunity to instruct a class such as Network+ or A+ ?

I appreciate any assistance, or opportunities you may have.

Thanks.
Scott Grossman

Just Passed the Network+ N10-009 Exam this morning , only noticed yesterday that the our voucher codes for this one are Valid through September 30, 2025.

If you haven't taken it yet, you better hurry

It is a while off, but I will be teaching the Security+ class again this coming January. Previously I used the Test Out course materials and lab. Is that still going to be available for the coming year or will it be migrated to Cert Master? If so will I need to also go through the TTT Cert Master version to be able to navigate teaching the course materials? Thank You for any information on how I should prepare.

Hi gang, I am updating a graphic for lesson 3 of Security+, specifically where we discuss certificate signing requests. The new comptia.org certificate from DigiCert shows:

CN = sso.comptia.org
O = Microsoft Corporation
L = Redmond
ST = Washington
C = US

Did CompTIA become part of Microsoft?

How frequently do you teach each of the following CompTIA courses per year? When was the last time you taught each one? How many CompTIA certifications do you have where you have never taught the class?

CompTIA's current portfolio of certification classes is as follows;

A+ (Core 1 and Core 2)
Cloud+
CloudNetX
CySA+
Data+
DataSys+
DataX
Linux+
Network+
PenTest+
Project+
Security+

Hi everyone

Until last month, the link to the CompTIA IT Certifications Roadmap below worked very well. I always used this in CompTIA Data+ classes to encourage my students to go further for professional development:


I navigated to this link today and it takes me to this page:


Has the IT certification roadmap been hosted somewhere else or has it been removed altogether? It was a very useful resource.

Do any of you know when the Train-the-Trainer series for the CompTIA Data+ DA0-002 will be?

Hello Everyone,

I'm so happy to tell everyone that I just received my A+ TTT Exam Voucher for Core 1 Exam now,

Thanks to CompTIA for this great privilege and opportunity,

Who else have received his or her own.....


Am so happy right now to have received this exam voucher to again seat to write the latest A+ Exam....

Will there be an exam after completing the TTT Security+ sessions?

Hi everyone ,
I just finished watching all the CIN TTT Series videos. It was a really valuable experience and helped me organize my thoughts and better understand how to deliver the content to students.

I’d love to hear your advice what do you recommend as the next step after finishing the videos? Should I jump straight into hands-on labs, or spend more time reviewing the theoretical content first?

Hey Cinners,

I remember sometime in the past, that there was an ITPro TV training option. Does that still exist and if so, how can I access it? I'm currently training our Cybersecurity Information Specialist course which comprises A+, Net+, Security+, Linux+, Python and some specific Cybersecurity modules. I'd like to take this ITPro for a spin as I will need to step away from training for a few days and need my students to continue with lessons.

Thanks in advance for your assistance.

I'm looking for the new Version8 exam guide and study resources for Linux+ V8. I haven't had success finding study guides or even logging into the new partner portal!

Does anyone have a link to where I can go to grab this information for students?

Hi, everyone,

I passed my Network+ in June 2024. In July, I took the Train The Trainer for Network+ 10-009 (I had tested under the 008 test). It was ten sessions for a total of 20 CEU credits. My question is what other TTT courses would count towards the Network+ CEU credits? Would DataX, Security+, or others count?

Thanks and have a great night.
Patrick.

One of my student has lost access to old email, is it possible for him to transfer his Lab account (Portal.comptia.org) and associate to another email id

Had a dusty old voucher lying around from the last TTT — figured I should probably use it before it expired and turned into digital compost.

This exam actually had a suspicious number of networking questions on it...

Props to the TTT session for giving me just enough of a guilt trip to schedule it.
Now back to pretending subnetting is fun in front of students.

Is it possible to take remote control of CompTIA Labs on this platform.comptia.org

Hey everyone, happy Tuesday! So I was teaching a DataSys+ class last week and there are some security topics in the course. This being a military group, I knew that they had most likely done a Security+ at some point and mentioned that they should have seen some of these topics on their Security+ exam. One of the students relayed to me that he thought the exam was so much easier now than it was years ago when he first took it. I asked when he took it and he said just a few months ago. I asked more about his experience on the exam and he said that these days all you have to do is memorize the questions in the test bank because they're practically the same questions as on the exam. I asked more about the test bank he (and another student who was in his same Sec+ class) used and he went on to describe the VCE Player that is commonly used with braindumps. He also said that when he had a difficult question on the exam, he simply raised his hand and the instructor would sit there and go through the question with him. The instructor was not only proctoring the exam, but also helping students out during the exam.

After the class was over, I talked to the owner of another training company that I knew does business with this group and he said he had already reported it to CompTIA, but CompTIA seems to be saying they can't do anything without any sort of hard evidence and apparently isn't going to do anything about it. So my question is, should I even bother reporting this to CompTIA if they're not going to do anything anyways? All I have is what students told me about their experience. No physical, hard, concrete evidence. Does CompTIA actually care about cheating, or so long as a training company brings them a lot of business they don't really care about how they get the students to pass the exam? What would you do?

As there are lot of labs in Network+, it should be divided into 2 parts, those to be completed during the training and other section which has reference or additional labs to be completed after training

Hii @Stephen Schneiter

Just checking in on when the A+ core 1 & 2 vouchers are anticipated to go out.

Hi all! I noticed that under the documents, there was a link called 'CIN Community Application'. When I clicked it, it gave me a "server IP address cannot be found." Was this something we needed? If so, could someone please provide me with the correct link? It was listed right under the CIN the Pulse webinar which, if anyone missed that link, here you go! CIN The Pulse: Managing critical space cybersecurity: Guarding against the failure of imagination

After delivering few trainings, the general feedback from the participants is that they don't find few hardware labs in first few modules that much user friendly as compared to other labs in other modules and these labs are not properly balanced with some modules having more labs

Hi Team,

I'm looking for a Certified instructor to run CompTIA NW+ class sometime in late October.
Please email Kimberly Shelton [email protected] if you are available. This would be tentative based on enrollments.
Can I ask this request on this discussion board?

Hi everyone,


I’m currently preparing for the CompTIA Network+ (N10-009) exam and I’m very interested in building my hands-on skills through labs. I wanted to ask you, what are the recommended tools and software for building labs and practicing the exam objectives?

Thank you

Hello,


I am in the early years of teaching within a Career and Technical Education (CTE) program for Information Technology. This year, I am working with sophomore students, and I would like to establish a baseline of their technical knowledge at the beginning of the year and then measure their growth at the end.


Does CompTIA or TestOut provide any assessment tools, pre-tests, or related resources that could support this type of “before and after” measurement of student skills?


Thank you in advance for your guidance.

I am the newly appointed administrator for the CompTIA Academy at our institution. I was recently added to the CIN and now have access to the https://platform.comptia.org portal.

I am writing to request your guidance on how to begin using the platform effectively. Specifically, I need help understanding the initial steps to:
Furthermore, I am inquiring about the availability of free fundamental-level courses for my students.

Thank you for your time and assistance. I am eager to resolve this and begin delivering CompTIA courses to my students.
