I never received my exam voucher and I attended all the TTT sessions.

What to do?

Thanks

Great exam overall. Passed the 401 in 2018. This will be my 2nd Trifecta. Passed A+ and Network+ in 2023
This is now a Course I can teach at my school using Testout In the future!

Super excited. Cysa+ 003 next up

Hello,

We are looking at updating our PCs kits that we used for the Hands-on labs. Does anyone have any leads on cost-affordable kits they use? We are pricing out individual parts to work with but are wondering if anyone has found any "better" solutions?

The CompTIA Product Development team is looking for feedback from the CIN community! They have asked if I could post the following request. Please take a few minutes and respond to their survey.

We've had requests from instructors to be able to do testing using a locked-down browser. If you have experience using locked-down browsers, please take a few minutes to answer this 4-question survey about your experience. Thank you!

Over several months in 2024 I will be conducting a series of polls of the CompTIA Instructor Network (CIN) Community. Participation is completely voluntary and based on the assumption that respondents are Instructors (i.e. members of CIN). My goal in conducting these polls is to compile data about how Instructors work. Each poll will have a simple question and be conducted over 14 days. At the end of each month, I will disclose the poll results to the CIN Community. From time to time, I will publish summaries containing data gathered in the series.

Are vouchers still going out for ttt

As a follow-up from our CIN Instructor Toolbox webinar about how AI may be incorporated into course delivery, I thought we could keep the conversation going here in the community. Do you have a best practice for using AI in your course? Do you have examples or prompts you would like to share? Do you have an AI resources you would like to share? Maybe you have a question about using AI in the classroom. Let's talk about it here.

Looking forward to sharing! If you missed the webinar, you can view the on-demand session.

Good morning all, I'm looking to start a CompTIA training cell with my company and I'm just looking for some general guidance. I taught A+, Network+, and Security+ while I was on active duty in the Marine Corps for about 3 years. I've since transitioned to civilian life and I see the opportunity to expand the company I work for into the CompTIA training sector in our region. I have attended various formalized instructor trainings through the military but I'd still like to attend a TTT if possible. Also, I've contacted CompTIA about becoming a delivery partner, I hope that works out too!

Is there anything you guys would recommend that someone just starting out should do? I have the classroom experience teaching and the certifications and education. I've never done any kind of sales or business development though.

TIA

When is the next train the trainer session?

I am glad to report I passed CompTIA CySA+ today. I set a high bar for myself by taking the CySA+ rather than the Security+ and my score was just barely above passing, but a passing grade is a passing grade, right?

Alas, I never did get the two vouchers that were promised to me for attending the Security+ and CySA+ Train-the-Trainer sessions, but a co-worker of mine was able to get me a voucher through another contact they had at CompTIA. So if you're still waiting, maybe try another avenue or bug a colleague with good connections!

Curious. Is anyone teaching IT Fundamentals and looking to move to the new Tech+? I am putting together a Sneak Peek for the new Tech+ and looking for a lead instructor. If you would like to share your experience and discuss the differences between the new course with your fellow CIN members, DM me, and let's connect.

I am just curious what all is included in the CertMaster curriuculm? I currently have a class of students whose teacher left mid year so I am scrabbling trying to find currciulum for them that might be self lead.

If the question shown below were asked in a job interview, which answers would you advise students to select? Would your advice be the same if the question were on the 701 cert exam? Given the definition of "cryptographic algorithm" in the 701 manual, I don't know which answers would be scored as correct on the 701 exam.

Question:
Laws and regulations require your organization to use cryptographic algorithms to secure some data. Which of these are cryptographic algorithms? (Select all that apply)

Answers:
A. Hashing
B. Encoding
C. Decoding
D. Encryption
E. Decryption

From your professional opinion, what are your thoughts on my question below?:

Discuss the diverse and evolving nature of the IT industry, including various sectors and career opportunities.

Hello, CIN family. Have anyone heard anything about the new Network+ TTT start date?

I noticed a lot of discussion about how Comptia determines the differences between Managerial and Operational Controls?
On example is Awareness Programs (Training) because depending on the author, some categorize them as Managerial while others consider it as an Operational Control.
What are your thoughts? and what are your recommendations on how to better explain this to students (and even to explain them why testout content differs from most internet sources)?

Yes, it is time to talk about the next version of Network+! The new version will launch in mid-may 2024! Join CIN and special guest @Hod Berman as he takes a Sneak Peek into the changes in the new exam objectives. We will discuss how to cover the content with students and suggest various labs to let students gain hands-on experience as they prepare for certification.

Networking is networking! Or is it! Come join us to hear how things are changing!

What: two-hour webinar investigating updated Network+ exam
When: Tuesday, March 5, 10:00 AM CST

Big Blue is 100! I bet at one time or another we all had our hands on at least one version of an IBM PC. Isn't it funny how time and technology keep passing by?

Due to circumstances at my school, I have been asked to come up with some activities for the remainder of the year for our Data & AI students. I was wondering if there is any training curriculum out there for the Data+ certification?

Hello,

I am sure I am not the only person with this problem. I am currently teaching an equivilent course in A+. I am also a certified proctor at the Certification Center that I also management.

Is there anyway other then drooping down as a Certified Proctor for Pearson Vie that I could take the A+ exam?

Any comments?

Russell

I accidently booked one of my students for Security+ SY0-701, but he wanted to write 601 while it's still available.
(And that's the content he's studied for)
We run our PearsonVue test center, so I think there is an option to cancel the order.
But I'm worried that the voucher will not be available again. (or will it be usable again so I can book him for the correct exam?)
Can anyone confirm this?
Thanks!


EDIT: I phoned pearsonvue and they were going to get me a new voucher code. While on the phone, I cancelled the order, and then re-tried to book with the correct exam, and the voucher code worked again! So all is good.
