CertMaster Lab stuck in a "Running" state, what to do?

My CEUs are due tonight by 1:59 AM EST. I have completed 99% of the Certmaster Learn and labs to gain my last needed 25 CEUs. However, one lab is stuck in a "Running" state and will not award my last 30 knowledge points to get the completed certificate needed. Anyone have any advice? Other than, "Well, you had 3 years to complete this..." LOL

How often does incoherent proctoring via OnVue occur?

G'day all.

I've been hearing reports of incoherent and unpredictable proctoring by OnVue employees for a few years now. Never to such a degree that I thought it was happening in huge amounts of cases, but one could reason that anything over 0.5% of the exams is already egregious.

The latest thread on Reddit is getting raucous responses -> Login to view embedded media
Proctors are often perceived as overly strict, focusing on making students "fail", giving students contradicting instructions of even (intentionally) giving instructions that would normally break rules.

This matter is something that has a lot of students worried for their exams and they actively blame CompTIA for it, all the more so because CompTIA and PearsonVue will point fingers at each other when the affected student tries to dispute the aborted exam.

I'd love to hear from CompTIA how they handle quality control with PearsonVue.

Do CIN get access to Certmaster labs?

Do CIN members automatically get access to Cert master labs or receive a voucher for them? I am looking to get more familiar with AWS and Azure cloud services and looking for any and all resources to help me. Mainly labs which will allow me to get some real hands on experience.

Also, I am currently going through the Cloud+ CV0-003 TTT videos now but do we have any idea on the next time it will be offered?

Appreciate all the advice and help!

CompTIA Learning Resources for Security+ and CySA+

Having taught both Security+ and CySA+ courses fairly recently utilizing the CompTIA student guides and labs for both courses, I'm finding that for CySA+ the student guide provides detailed content for the CompTIA labs but the same is not true for the Security+ learning resources. I see real value, particularly for online courses where the instructor is not available during lab times, for the CySA+ content model.

Thoughts?

Average Success Rate

Greetings all!

I work for an organization that is expecting an 85% success rate, even during the pandemic. To them, success is defined by certified students. This was a pretty high standard to maintain, pre covid. I wanted to know if any one of my peers has been able to achieve this level of certification. If so, what is your secret? If you could share your success rate, that would be great as well. Thanks!

Academic Partner and Pearson VUE Testing Center High School Seeking to Proctor Exams

Our high school (and our district) started providing Pearson VUE IT Specialist and Microsoft Office Specialist certification exams to our students this school year through Certiport. We are a CompTIA Academic Partner.

How do we gain certification to also administer CompTIA exams to our students? The priority is ITF+, A+, Net+, and then Sec+.

It would also be nice to be able to administer exams to our teachers - especially if they have vouchers from various TTT series.

Cybersecurity/Capture the Flag exercise for students

I've been wanting to put together a cybersecurity or capture the flag challenge, or even better find something already created, to allow students to put into practice what they have learned. However, I'm not sure where to begin. The system would have to be virtual to allow the use of certain tools and I would like it to be a multi-user challenge.
Is this something that you have tried? Were you successful? Is there something that has already been created, as I don't want to "recreate the wheel" or spend a lot of money?

Thank you for your input.

Recorded Day 1 of 5 Welcome to Class

Hi Everyone,

Just curious if anyone has a recording of a day 1 of 5 day delivery where they walk through the CertMaster Platform, show how to use it, tell the Learners how to use it, and then talk about the method they (as an Instructor) are going to use to deliver the course?

My thinking is that (depending on the size of the class) it would be like the first hour or less of the course.

Thanks everyone.
