With the CTT+ retiring in March, I'm curious how many of those here hold the certification. And if you have it, did you do the virtual or classroom exams, or even both? If you have it, has it helped you find more teaching opportunities? I'm sitting for the book exam next week and hope to get in both virtual and classroom options before March. I have a virtual class later this month I can use, and an in-person class in February I can use. I will probably use the same lecture topic for both but make the needed adjustments for virtual vs in-person. I am still deciding on the topic to use.

Hi there, I would like to find out if Project+ vouchers have been distributed yet, I haven't received mine since I have attended TTT Project+ series?

Hello everyone,

I have just finished all of the videos with Jason Eckert. What a great job.
How do I get a certificate of completion for each one of those as my
company requires them in order for me to get credit.

Thank you,
Mike

I just received my A+ Voucher today on 9th January, 2023. Thanks to COMPTIA through Stephen and CIN.?

Asking this as a student, rather than as an instructor... I have a CertMaster account under my personal e-mail address, where I access my CertMaster CE and TTT/Instructor Guide materials. I'm also starting a bachelor's program which uses CertMaster, and I just received an email to my university email address about setting up CertMaster access. It looks like I'm going to have to set up a separate CertMaster account for school, and I'm wondering if it'll be possible to merge it with my current one, if it'll present a problem with attaining or renewing my certs, etc.

Thanks!

Hello;


Has anyone received TTT Linux Vouchers ?

Everett Community College is looking to hire a new Associate Dean of Business and IT.

I hope someone can help me with a few questions: (Yes, I've already watched the how-to videos)

1. If a student was in a previous Cloud+ class last semester, can I just assign their account to a new contract for Server+ class for this semester?
2. I am the institution admin for the contracts, and also an instructor. Last semester our students purchased access from the academic marketplace they enrolled themselves (we had no seat licenses). I could manage and see their progress in the Boost dashboard everything was dandy. This semester we have a new instructor and have seat licenses available but only enough for one of their classes. I'm assuming the best way would be to make a group for the class with seat licenses and just upload the csv, the instructor would see the group in their Boost dashboard and easy-peasy. Correct?
3. The other late start class will have to purchase their own access from the academic marketplace. Any ideas on what would be the most efficient and best way for me as an admin to manage their accounts? (The new instructor is not well-versed in the platform.)

Thank you!

P.S Congrats on TestOut! Now I don't have to choose!

My high school A+ students (15 to 16 years old) are struggling with the pace at which I am covering 220-1001. I have about 105 hours to give demonstrations, lecture, have them take notes, conduct class discussions, watch related videos, talk about current events, and give them quizzes and tests. They are complaining that we don't do nearly enough hands-on and I see they are having a hard time with the pace to get through the 600 page book in 180 days.

I teach in a comprehensive high school (40 minute classes, students have 6 other classes) where the students in my class have an array of abilities (from students with IEPs to those with no tech knowledge to a student who excels at all his classes to others that aren't that interested in technology but want to try for the cert).

Also, these teenagers aren't doing much in the way of reading or studying at home.

Any thoughts to help this struggling teacher?

Hello, must to tell, yesterday I had certification exam and finally passed.

Hey folks! While I have been teaching CompTIA for a couple of years, I just joined the CIN recently. Until now I have never thought about trying to purchase my own resources because the training companies I teach for always provided them. Now that I see my Security+ books are expired, I am curious to know where we can purchase our own instructor courseware?

Thanks in advance!

Pen Test is not as simple as we might think, it requires much understanding of all exam objectives and the technical know how of linux commands.

Hello everyone,

I'm not sure if I ever heard if we are allowed to use any of the PowerPoints slides presented in the Train
The Trainer presentations?

Thank you,
Mike

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!

Hello,

Happy 2023, all!

I saw a Linkedin group of the CIN and sent a request to join. Unfortunately, it is not approved. Waiting for approval for about a month.

Is there anyone who can help to get the approval to join the group?

Thanks!

BR,

Thank you for logging in to the CompTIA Site. Unfortunately, you have not yet applied to the program, please apply here .

My phone is still logged into CIN via the App and working

I have been a member of CIN since last year. Not posted much over Christmas and first weeks of Jan due to the high work load

I hope I have not been kicked out and this is just an error

Hello esteemed CIN Members!!!

Howdy,

Can someone assist with a presentation planner you might have for S+ in excel format?

I'd highly appreciate it.

I've made a conscious decision to fully retire (except for volunteer work), effective June 1st. That decision is in part based upon not moving forward in maintaining my technical skills, specifically as they relate to cloud computing and coding. Living on the technological bleeding edge is simply getting too challenging. I'm wondering if I'm alone with regard this? Back in the old days, I fondly remember CompTIA certifications, by definition, lasted a lifetime. Today, with regular exam updates scheduled with a three (3) year cycle, those who follow a rule that you do not teach to a certification unless you've passed the most recent certification exam is a challenge, and one I'm no longer interested in following. With retirement "mailbox money" exceeding expenses, I'm looking forward to travel (just returned from Australia and New Zealand), with plans to head to Europe in May and South America in the fall. So I won't be hanging around here a lot.

Steve

Hi We are a Private Vocational School located in Edison, New Jersey. We have an faculty job opportunity for Cybersecurity Training Program, Remote/ Hybrid(Part Time) for CompTIA Security+ , A+, CySP,CySA. Require Hands on Experience and Teaching skills

I initially thought that earning CASP+ will renew Linux+, but it is not the case... sadly.
See link for reference.

If anyone from CompTIA Certification is reading this, I hope you'd reconsider.
Much of what needs to be learned in CASP+ covers Linux too!

You know what renews Linux+? It is Cloud+.
Not even CySA+ nor PenTest+ would renew Linux+.
*mindblown*
