Had a student of mine ask about AI Essentials and if it would be offered in the future. I was not aware of any such things until he showed me this article:


And now I am curious, what is the latest with these expansions? Is this going to be a new pathway or what is going on with them. The article mentions a July 24 release, but I am not finding anything about them on CIN or other places. just curious.

How do I register for the Cloud+ Train-the-Trainer? I usually get the invites, but I didn't get them.

Thanks!

Hello everyone.

I have been in a Zoom call with one of my students for almost two hours (insane!!!!). She is in my Canadian cohort in Calgary. I am in the USA. This woman clearly has a language barrier. English is not her first language; however, she studies hard, and she understands English and can talk in conversations. She has a heavy accent, and it takes her some time to get through the reading, but she just takes more time to read. We are trying to book her for the Core 1 CompTIA A+. We went to the special accommodations website as they directed, but when we get there, the only options available to request special accommodations for are if you have a cognitive or learning disability. I know they have allowed for it in the past. I had some students request and receive it for their AWS certifications and received it. I would think it would be the same scenario as well. It says so on the website for Pearson Vue.

Is it possible that someone who knows the rules can assist? How do we request accommodations for her? I fear without the accommodation, she will not pass. She is now a citizen of Canada, but she is from Pakistan. She received her Canadian citizenship two years ago. Can someone help me figure this out? The accommodations office is now closed. I have another possible student who has the same language barrier issues as well.

By the way, they said it could take 10 days. When my students did it, they got almost immediate approval once they proved English was not their first language. Is it really going to take them 10 days to figure out these women don't speak English well?

Thanks,

D Ross

I recently dealt with a client’s network outage caused by a misconfigured router. I had to dig into the routing tables and found that one static route was pointing to the wrong gateway. Once corrected, the network was restored. Have you encountered similar routing issues in your teaching, and how do you explain routing table troubleshooting to your students?

@Stephen Schneiter was the material shared for this TTT

Has anyone created Docker Labs for Teaching Student at Junior or community college level?

thank you

@Stephen Schneiter i have not received my voucher for N+ please.. All my colleagues have gotten. Please update.

In addition to the Cert Master content, can anyone recommend other resources they used for practice leading up to the exam or recommendations based on their experience with the exam, without giving away too much about the exam.
TryHackMe and Hack the Box have a bunch of content...just not sure what's applicable to CASP+/SecurityX, and what other resources are available.

I've got study materials like books, practice MC questions and flashcards covered.

Thanks!

Does anyone know if we are allowed to embed the instructional videos that are found in the Instructional Strategies Toolkit into our courses? According to the guide, "The following instructional videos are designed to support instruction of Module 1 concepts and may be used as an instructional resource for learners or as a primer for instructors."

I can't find a way to get at the source code for the video and these do not show up as a selection when creating LTI links to the material from within our LMS.

Can anyone provide information on where to get past professional development training on the CompTIA’s website?

Hi Guys, I/we are in a bit of a bind as I am due to start delivering this course from the 23rd of this month.

With the courseware date being pushed back to yesterday (04/07 UK) from its intended August release date the time for prep was going to be ok, but after its no show yesterday I am a little concerned, especially as I do not have access to the pre-release materials to prepare myself with.

The reason time is so tight is that I fly out on our honeymoon tomorrow afternoon and do not return until the day before I am due to deliver it, all would have been fine, but now......


Can we please have an update as to when it is actually going live, or can someone who has the pre-release PDF so I can read it on the flight please share it

Thank you

Who would I notify at CompTIA if I find a typo in the Sec+ SY0701 instructor guide?

Are we still having TTT session 7 today?

Hello, any possibilities of N+009 Exam voucher distribution this coming week?

Has anyone received their voucher for Network+ yet? Not sure if it has been issued...thought I would ask....

Does anyone know when the new SecurityX certification is being released? All I have able to find is the "Coming in 2024" announcement.

Hi,

I’m experiencing some permission issues while trying to follow the instructions in the lab. For example, one of the questions says, “Select the New Folder icon to create a working directory folder titled Example at the path /home/coder/DataX/Lab01/Example.”

I cannot read or write to the DataX directories, but I noticed that I can write to the parent (coder) directory. See the image below. Does anyone know how I could resolve these issues? Your help will be greatly appreciated.

I am new to CompTIA Instructor network and teaching at a community college in Texas. We are using the soon to be retired ITF+ course. I am interested in tips and best practices for how to present the CompTIA course in Canvas.

I linked the course materials and it is overwhelming, so I know the students will be as well.

It is an 8 week course start to finish.

I have some ideas but if anybody could help fast track me to success, I would appreciate the help.

Thanks!

I am Certified in Azure, AWS and Oracle Cloud and looking forward to get certified in CompTIA Cloud+.
Is the exam similar to the other cloud vendors or does it take on its own tech.
