Hi All,

Have any one booked the exam using VUE to take the exam at home.

I tried but it shows all the dates and greyed out for April and I cannot navigate to May.

Tried different exam, different browser, still no go.

I completed the Data+ TTT course and still have not received a voucher. I attended all 6 webinars, but was there another step I was supposed to take?

VR since its inception has been used for training. Recently, VR has started to become mainstream ever since Meta's metaverse goals. I was wondering, who feels as I do that its about time that VR is used in the IT industry. The closest was the Cisco CCIE Virtual Reality Experience that was an internal demo. I believe now that CompTIA is serious about their own training materials, it is ripe open for CompTIA to be first.

I really appreciate the new TTT series that is going on for A+.Does anyone use any other resources to enhance their teaching of A+. I am always looking for better ways to interest my students in computers I use both David Bombal and Mike Meyers on udemy.com

Once again I feel we're being done over here.
I have just got my key for my 1101 and 1102 Instructor manuals.
I am running 1001 this week and we've just been talking about the exams. I have just seen that the 1000 series will be retired in October 2022, giving anyone currently studying it only 6 months to complete both courses and both exams.
Why such a short time? If they fail an exam there will be limited time to resit it. They can't get time off work to attend courses at the best of times and now they've got to cram both into 6 months???
Net+ was updated in Sept 21. That exam retires June 30th 2022, 9 months later so why is A+ different?

We are considering CASP+ for my community college. Not part of our regular cirriculum but an advanced single class we'd offer to students, alumni, as well as others interested in taking the CASP test. Just wondering if anybody has feedback on the CertMaster Learn + Labs for CASP? If so, do you feel it helped you and/or your students prepare for and pass the CASP+ exam?

Thanks!

John

Friends,
I registered for all A+ sessions and only had 1 live webinar.
I didn't realize why I'm not notified via email of the other sessions? if they continue.

reminder that CIN Train-the-Trainer : A+ Core 1 220-1101 Session 1

LIVE WEBCAST DATE: April 12, 2022

Team, PS 2022 is here and back in person! That is fantastic news! Looking forward to learning more about the topics and events!

Mates, Friends

Please make me clear:

I know that to be an Cybersecurity CompTIA Expert Level need to pass for those path:

CompTIA Security Infrastructure Expert
(Security+ / CySA+ / PenTest+ / CASP+)
or
CompTIA Security Analytics Expert
(Security+ / CySA+ / CASP+)


My question is: What is the expiry date for Expert level once a candidate achieves the goal? and

my other point to be clear for example: someone passed Security+ after 4 years, CySA+ and then 3 years passed Casp+ . Can this one be seen like an Expert Level even one of certification not updated?

Best regards

Has CompTIA thought about offering merchandise through the CompTIA store? Shirts, hats, jackets, etc.

AS L&D professionals, our goal is to help others learn and grow through education, but, what about ourselves? What professional development activities are of value and how do you pursue tham?

Does or have any ran into the issue with booking the CAS004 at a Vue testing center? I have tester’s wanting to take the exam but are unable to schedule and I’m unable to schedule using registration manager. Can any provide assistance or explain? Thanks in advance.

I passed my Security+ last week (got it done the last day before the voucher expired!), and, as expected, received the emails that my A+, Net+, and Sec+ certifications were all renewed. The interesting thing is that all three gave an expiration date in 2027, which is 5 years instead of the usual 3. Has the cert validity time frame been extended? Typically, it's only 3 years, and the website still says 3 years as well. I retake the exams with every iteration anyway, but I'd love to know if the time frame is shifting.

Hi,

I have a question. I am teaching Security+ SY0-601. I am using Prof. Mark Ciampa's textbook. I have his videos presented during the CIN SY0-501 TTT series several years ago. Unfortunately the On24 links for that series do not work any more. I found some of his videos still relevant to the current exam and go along with his textbook. I think they will be beneficial to my students, because we are using his book. Can I use his videos in my class? Of course I will give a full credit to his work and CIN. If it is ok to use these videos, I will edit them so that they are short and to the point (I will get rid of chat question for example).

Thanks,
Sukanya

HAPPY FRIDAY! Thank you for all the great feedback and activity from this weeks question. We saw some new respondants, and as always some great answers!

Our question this week is focused on the PBQs within our CertMaster Learn platform!

Question:
In CertMaster Learn, what are PBQs and how are they used by the Student/Learner?

Answer:

Performance-based Questions (PBQs) are basic interactives for playing and performing generalized learned concepts. PBQs provide a more practical application of knowledge, provides learning spacing, and prepares for similar performance-based questions on an actual exam.


Students/Learners will be reported on the total Time Taken to complete the activity, and the Highest Grade will be reported. Reports can be found in the "PBQs" Tab.

Instructors and Supervisors will be able to view this reporting directly from the Boost Dashboard.

Thank you for the great responses from this week! Be sure to check back on Monday for next weeks question. Have a great weekend!

Where can I obtain the 601 Training PP deck?

During TTT, I got caught by this question

3. A solid-state drive (SSD) attached to an M.2 port must be using the non-volatile memory host controller interface specification (NVMHCI) or NVM Express (NVMe).
A.True
B.False

I answered True. The correct answer is False.

After a few mins of pondering, I realized that the statement says "must be using ...."
M.2 SSD can either be NVME or SATA. Now, i understand where I got it wrong.

Greetings fellow instructors,
Does anyone have any tips on how to help my students prepare for the PBQ'S. I would like to think I teach a heavily hands on oriented class. However, my students seem to be struggling in that area. In particular the 1002. Thanks for the guidance

Too bad the HTI+ (Home Technology Integrator) certification is no longer available. See:

Hello everyone! Can anyone point to where we can purchase The Official CompTIA A+ Core 1 and Core 2 Instructor Guide (Exams 220-1101 and 220-1102)?

I use the Certmaster labs for my Security+ class at the local community college. Two students reached out to me to let me know that they now can't access their labs. I know that Comptia did the whole single sign on change recently. Where can I have my students call to get help fixing their logins?

Thanks!

Happy Monday, Everyone! Why not start the week off with... QUESTION OF THE WEEK! Who's got the answer?

Question:
In CertMaster Learn, what are PBQs and how are they used by the Student/Learner?

There are multiple answers for this one so we are excited to hear what you come up with!

How long do we have to activate our 30 days instructor access key?

Do we need to register separately for the rest of the sessions for A+? As there was only the option for a the session yesterday

I can hardly get my head around seeing people posting and reacting to posts, for the sake of getting Forum Achievements. ?
I guess, if that's what makes them happy and they're not hurting anyone, then we let them be. (?)
