As mentioned in the Sneak Peek for the new version, (in case you missed it, you can watch the recording and download the slides)
DevOps (why not DevSecOps as now called),
and most of the participants said, they have not much expierence with the DevOps,
lets share Ideas, ressources how to teach it.

If you are training over weeks or months, spend plenty of time here, would be easier, as in teaching it in 5 days to non-dev people, who need to understand the basics.

are their free ressources available to the different tools, like
ELK,
Grafana,
git,
jenkins
and so one, that we can use or share?

Post it here, or upload it to the Ressources / Media Section in CIN and provide the link here.

Would be great to have some stuff for the Trainers going into the TTT then later this year..

Once upon a time, I used to be able to get discounts through the Academic Store based on a .edu e-mail address, as I am an instructor. Now, it is asking for proof that I am a student. What happened to instructor discounts?

Has anyone else heard that with so many problems with Pearson OnVUE, CompTIA might be looking to go elsewhere for proctoring?

UPDATE - disregard...seems this is something different than I was told.

Good morning,

I'm curious: on what day can we purchase CertMaster Learn, Labs & Practice before the launch date for Network+ N10-009?

Also, do we know the date for the TTT for the N10-009?

Thank you, and have a great week!

Can anyone show how dd can use MD5 when duplicating a hard drive

Good afternoon. I hope to use the Integrated CertMaster Learn and Labs for Project+ in my IT Project Management college course soon. I found TestOut last year and have integrated the LabSim courseware into a few of our IT courses. The students and faculty love it.

I am beginning my research into setting up CertMaster Learn and Labs and would appreciate any tips/tricks. At first glance, it doesn't appear as user-friendly or intuitive as TestOut LabSim.

Thanks, Chris

Anyone have anymore information regarding this new certification coming next year?

When using nmap without the -p option how many ports are scanned?

Hello everyone,
I am new here. I am Ayomide Oluwaga, Head Coach and CIO at Techstartersafrica and I successfully trained 100+ Cybersecurity professionals last year alone.

I will be training 30 students from the 29th and would be documenting the processes I use in making these individuals into professionals. I feel, this process might be useful for a fellow instructor in here. You can choose to follow me to see how I do it or constructively criticise it to make ot better. I would be updating daily on Linkedin & Instagram. (Just make a search for my name or click Ayomide Oluwaga)

I look forward to bringing value into the community

Hello everyone, everything good?

I have CompTIA A+, Network+ and Security+ certifications and in view of the growing number of certifications (as I intend to obtain more), I need to carry out planning to minimize costs and efforts for future renewals. For example, as soon as I took Security+, A+ and Network+ were automatically renewed. I also intend to obtain Linux+ and Cloud+ certifications, but I saw on the official page that the latter only has A+, Network+ and Linux+ certifications, leaving Security+ out. However, I also learned that non-CompTIA certifications can also be used to earn CE credits to renew equivalent CompTIA certifications (as I have AWS Certified Solutions Architect Associate and Cisco CCNA and CyberOps).

In short, I intend to do the following:

• Renew A+, Linux+ (which I'm still going to take) and Network+, by submitting to the Cloud+ exam;
• Renew Security+, through Cisco CCNA CyberOps renewal (which I took almost 1 year after Security+).

If you can give me more tips and recommendations I would appreciate it! &;-D

In today's emails I received a bunch of them that were from CompTIA, each saying the same thing but identifying different certifications I hold:

Dear Steven Linthicum,

This is a friendly reminder that your CompTIA CySA+ ce certification will expire on Apr 21, 2026. While that is still a couple years away, it is important to think about how you might renew your certification so that you have ample time to prepare.

(ISC)2 has what they call "emeritus" status. I paid $375 and I keep the CISSP cert but you must be "retired".

Happy to share that I have successfully completed my SY0-701 exam to renew my other certifications until 2027.

Hi Everyone....I am being asked about a "boot camp" style delivery (5 days) with a test on the last day of class (Friday). It generates a couple of questions for me:

1. Does anyone have any experience with this type of delivery, and if so, what do you do differently than say a normal delivery?
2. Does anyone know the process of becoming a proctor for Pearson Vue to actually administer an exam event?
3. What is the success rate of your students on the first exam attempt?
4. Do the hours of classroom delivery change from a normal 8 hour day to longer, and if so, how much longer?

Thanks in advance everyone.

Hi everyone,

If I took and passed the AWS Solutions Architect Professional back in October 2023, can I use it to renew my Cloud+ certification if the Cloud+ is due to expire this summer? I can't figure out if I can use it to renew, or if I can only use a certification I passed from this year.

Thanks!

Changes are coming in 2024. I know I have talked a little about some of the upcoming updates to CompTIA Certifications, but let’s talk more details. First and very exciting news is that CompTIA’s Security+ SY0-601 was initially set to retire in July 2024, but CompTIA has delayed the retirement until December 2024. If you are studying for the SY0-601 exam, keep on it. This is great news for students, but don’t let it slow your studies, let it reinvigorate your studies. Refocus and set your schedule to get it completed, so you don’t have to change the objectives you are studying.

CompTIA's site still says July, but I doubt that Meyers is making this up. I just wish that CompTIA would add a confidentiality clause when they tell the big-time instructors news like this first until they can make these announcements themselves. Same thing happened a couple of years ago when Messer announced that they were pushing back the retirement date of A+ 1001/02.

Hi everyone,

I was accepted into the CompTIA Instructor Network sometime last year, and I'm probably going to jump to a new company, since my current company is running out of funding they received to train retired military. When I went to my profile, I see I can change some things, but not my email. I'd like to change to my personal email so that no matter what company where I work, I can always work with CIN and access things, ie. sign up for trainings, etc. I haven't been successful trying to figure out how to do this, so I thought I'd reach out here in the open forums to see if anyone was successful doing this. If so, how were you able to change your email address?

Thanks! DRoss

Hey All:

Does anyone have more information on this announcement for AI training.

Through the new Essentials and Expansions Series, CompTIA will address the need for AI skills competencies in four existing job clusters: software development, cybersecurity, systems operations (SysOps) and data analytics; and two emerging job roles, prompt engineering and AI systems architects.
