Greetings Fellow Instructors!

In advance of the upcoming Security+ TTT series I wanted to ask the Instructor Community for their ideas, thoughts, and opinions about some of the tools of our instructional trade.

How do you 'break the ice' with the students in your classes?

What do you do as the instructor to tell the students about yourself and your experience?

How do you facilitate helping your students learn about others in the class?

As I teach virtual classes over Zoom and Webex I often use a start of course survey. I briefly introduce myself (please call me Brian; I'm your instructor; this is my email; and I'm in the eastern time zone) and ask then questions such as: their name (sometimes my registrar or Zoom/Webex inserts email addresses in class list); what they like to be called (nickname); where they are from (optional); and where they are in their journey (getting started or testing after last class). This isn't a mandatory survey and I get about a 75% response rate. I reach out to each student who doesn't respond within the first 2-3 days.

What do you do?

Brian

Where is a source for Network+ 008 PPT slides?

Hello! I'm a Program Manager for a training provider and CompTIA Partner and we are submitting a RFP, that of course is due tomorrow. The RFP requests some sample class schedules. We are basing them off the Presentation Planners that are in the Instructor Materials. Problem I can't access the instructor materials for Cloud Essentials+ or Linux+. (Yes I reached out to my Business Development Manager to get that fixed.) But, does anyone have the presentation planners for Cloud Essentials+ and Linux+? I don't need any other materials, only those planners. Thanks so much!

I have started studying for the Linux+. I am currently reading a book and doing the Linux Pro in Testout. Any other suggestions to prepare for it. I am looking at taking it in December.

Hello, I am looking to teach a Security Plus course to my co-workers' boot camp style, where can I get the instructor's material?

Hello Cinners,

Quick question about the this lab. A student is using a Mac and on question 9 on the third page,
"Switch to the Terminal window and then select Ctrl+C to stop the tcpdump capture" She tries to perform this on her mac and gets continuous C's acrorss the screen.

Is there a fix for this?

Thanks in advancce.

Are there any CompTIA-certified instructors in the Atlanta area here?

Good Morning,

I am updating my LinkedIn Profile and wondered if there were a place to download the CIN Logo and also the 'Partner' Programme Logos ... ?

I can find all the certification logos but just can not find these ones.

Many Thanks

Greetings Ciners,

I am considering hiring an A+ instructor. He received his cert back in 1999 but has other IT exoerience. . Does he need to take the course again or is the TTT sufficient?

Thanks.

Does anyone have a good list of questions to use in a classroom for a A+ 220-1101/1102 practice tests?
I do use the questions at the end of each chapter of the CertMaster Learn, but want to be able to printout and use to see how the students are learning.

Does completing the Train the Trainer for the new version of a Certification cover Continuing Education requirements? I have a CISSP but the Comptia continuing education seems much more difficult to understand how to meet requirements. I am a full time IT Professional and I also teach college classes Comptia Security +, Palo Alto EDU 210, and coming soon Cisco Cyber Ops.

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,

Sandis
