Hello All I'm not entirely sure if this is really the right platform to ask this question, but I figured most of us on here are Instructors and have a need to purchase vouchers for exams. Working for Government or Non-Profits creates minor headaches when it comes to acquiring products or services for the first time. You need x number of quote (unless sole provider) and must accept tax exemption etc.
That all said, I recently mounted all my CompTIA Certs on my office wall, which has inspired a bunch of my team to pursue certifications of their own. I can assist with tutoring them but I need to look at purchasing the vouchers etc.
Are there specific vendors that cater for vouchers or do they all come direct from CompTIA?

Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.

Hi everyone,

I currently teach a full-year (182 school days, 40 minutes per day) class in Cybersecurity at my high school. The students are doing a course for college credit from a university. The course as it exists currently is therefore not aligned with Security+, but we're hoping to have some students who want to go for the certification do so.

There is of course some intersection, my university-level course does cover malware, threat assessment, security policies, I do some linux, etc. but I have concerns for how the students will do. I can have them practice material from CompTIA but I know I'll be very pressed for time if I'm covering the college-credit course essentials and also focusing on Security+.

Does anyone have specific experience along these lines? High schoolers going for Security+ and in a course that doesn't 100% focus on that exam specifically?

Thanks in advance!

Should students take both? which comes first?

Good afternoon everyone. Are you aware of any preview material we have access to for the new Security+ training? Additionally, are you aware of any dates for TTT ? Prob when it drops in November...

Thanks

Good Afternoon Ciners,


Does anyone know when the next TTT is for the A+? I have an instructor that I'd like to onboard who has the certification.

Thanks...

Kindly is there a URL in Comptia indicating the prerequisites of CYSA+03 course ? I need to send it to my clients.

Hi There all,

Does anyone know of an assessment i can use for potential students?

Something that could test their knowledge to attend the course because i find a huge skill gap when they attend the course.

I'd appreciate any feedback.

Thanks all.

Nate.

Is it acceptable for a trainer to promote their services and mention English is their primary or exclusive language?

We are a CompTIA Training Partner based in Uganda, and looking for a certified CTT for a short-term Comptia training engagement. The person should have CompTIA A+/ Network+ or any other CompTIA Certification.

Please share your CV and Certificate copies

Hi there,

In our IT programs, we provide students with vouchers which cover the cost of whichever certification exams may be covered in that program. For example, in our beginning IT program, we provide the students with vouchers to take the A+ and Network+ exams, however, many of them never seem to get around to taking them, and of course, we are supposed to provide pass rates for the exams. I have heard of some schools and programs that basically embed the certification exams into the coursework.

Does anyone have an example of best practices on how to do this, and to get the students to actually take the exam.

Your help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Just received the following email from CompTIA that's worth sharing:

CyberSeek, the joint initiative of the National Institute of Standards and Technology's NICE program, Lightcast and CompTIA, announced the latest new data and tools to support cybersecurity workforce development efforts. For summary details, see the press release or visit the site at www.cyberseek.org.

Hey, all!

I'm on my way to completing the CTT+ and am in the process of getting a good recording of a session. I taught a session that I'm really proud of, but I noticed that the chat does not show up within the recording. Is it a requirement for the TKO-203? If it is a requirement, does anyone know how to make sure it is picked up within the recording on Zoom?

Thanks for any assistance!

Good afternoon Cinners,

I'd appreciate some feedback pertaining to the teaching format of Security+. I'm training a course starting July 24th (Monday)

I'll be taaching 3.5 - 4hrs per day, 3 days per week. The goal is to complete 1 lesson per day. I do realize that each lesson has more than one topic, but I feel this may be doable.

The duration of the class will be 2 months. I can modify the training to whereas they do one or two topics in a lesson as homework, or I can go 4 days per week.

Do you think that 1 lesson in a 4 hour period is doable or should I use one of the other options I mentioned?

Lastly, will there be a new training version soon for the SY0 - 701?

With Appreciation,

-Robert Sewell

Greetings everyone.

I have been participating in the CySA+ webinar and got the access key to access the eBook and certmaster Lab for 90 days and did not use the key until today when i wanted to redeem the access code. However it says the access key has expired.

what should I do next?

Greetings,

I couldn't find in the CIN posts information about average passing rates of CompTIA certs in post-secondary institutions.
We finished 2023 Q2 with 65.2% average passing rate for CompTIA, MS365, AWS Cloud Practitioner and Azure certs.
Is it possible for anyone here to share some figures?

Best regards,

Juan

Hi,

Students cannot log into the compTIA site, to book an exam, any issues?

Hi everyone,
I'm new to this forum and I'm looking for resources to help me prepare for the new version of the CompTIA CySA+ exam. I'm particularly interested in PowerPoint presentations, quizzes, labs, and homework assignments. If you know of any resources that are available, please let me know. I'm also open to suggestions on where I can purchase these resources.

I would like to know if CompTIA is facing any challenges in shipping certificates, My Pen Test+ certificate in certmetrics shows that it was shipped on 12th January, 2023 but up to now I have not received it.

I would like to know if CompTIA is facing any challenges in shipping certificates, My CASP+ certificate in certmetrics shows that it was shipped on 15th January, 2023 but up to now I have not received it.

As an instructor, is there any way to access my student's scores once they complete the certification exams?

How do we change a student's name in the system after a student remarriage?
What options do we have?
