PearsonVue / OnVue problems June 2024

What the absolute blazes is going on with Pearson Vue this month?

Two or three weeks ago they had a big service disruption which affected both OnVue and testing center exams. Everybody was getting kicked out of their exams.

And now on Reddit and Discord there's numerous mentions of waiting lines 100+ people deep, with test-takers waiting 1-3 hours before even starting their exams.


There's something really bad going on with PearsonVue and it reflects badly on CompTIA.

Someone needs to step up and provide proper communication and guidance.

Contradicting information on CompTIA web site about Network+

With the TTT being run, the new Network+ will be available soon. However, I found some conflicting information on the CompTIA website and wanted to report it.

The Network+ page shows that the new version of the exam went live on June 20, 2024.


The page advertising for upcoming SME workshops shows a Network+ Exam Item Writing Workshop July 22-26, 2024.


Why would they schedule a Network+ Exam Item Writing Workshop for Network+ after the new exam version has gone live?

@Stephen Schneiter can you provide some clarity on this issue?

"Monitoring in AWS" Lab instructions need update

The instructions for the CASP+ lab "Assisted Lab: Configure Monitoring in the AWS Cloud" are no longer correct.
The instructions in the section "Use Cloudwatch Events to Alert on Changes" do not match the AWS UI.
The lab instructions need to be updated.
I filed a support request with Skillable, however I don't know when or if this will be fixed, so I thought I should warn other instructors.

[Edited on 1 July 2024 to remove "Cloudwatch has been replaced by Event Bridge"]

Issue with Session 4 Link in PenTest+ PT0-002 TTT Series

Hello,

I am using the following link to access the PenTest+ PT0-002 TTT series:
https://gateway.on24.com/wcc/eh/1119137/category/100352/pentest-pt0-002-ttt

However, when I clicked on the link for session 4, it directed me to session 3 instead. Could you please fix this issue?

Thanks,

How long is our access to the new Net+?

Hi everyone,

I was in the process of signing up, and I wanted to figure out how much time I have to access the new materials given to us for access to the Network+ 009 materials from our TTT series. Is it 3 months from the day of our sign up, or 3 months from the first day of the start of the Network+ TTT series?

Thanks!

No longer able to access the previous CIN TTT series: CASP+ CAS-003

Hello,

I previously used the following link to access the CASP+ CAS-003 TTT series:
https://gateway.on24.com/wcc/eh/1119137/category/8762/casp-ttt/

Recently, I tried to access it and received an error message saying, "This page no longer exists." Is there a way for me to access this series? Although it was a previous version, I found some videos particularly helpful and would like to refer to them.

Thank you,
Sukanya

Labsim - CertMaster Perform

Point of note: for those who already have TestOut accounts and courses - the Network+ Certmaster Perform is likely included if Network+ has previously been one of your courses. I had an early sneak peek earlier this year when a few lessons became available. As an instructor who has used TestOut for 5+ years, my primary reason was the cloud-based simulations to use as support for my teaching; the learners could work on them anytime and redo them at will. I am delighted with the updated simulations in CertMaster Perform. Love the change of language from quiz to review. Well done on the Network+ update.

Also have a problem with the store?

I have a question. Does anyone have experience with how to get help from Comptia support regarding the store? I ordered Official CompTIA Student Guide eBook on Friday and still haven't received the codes. No emails are entitled to a response up to two working days. The training has started and the students have nothing to learn from.

Question: SY0-701 Lab - Using Containers

Good day!

Need your input on the question from the SY0-701 Lab re: Using containers. The question is, "How do you enter a container session for 'MyContainer'"?

I understand that a container needs to be started first, before you exec it hence, docker start is the answer

However, there was no premise that was stated in the question, so many of the students thought that the answer is docker exec - based on the laboratory instructions.

Some may argue that the keyword at the end should be cmd however, powershell can actually be used in docker in real life scenario.

What do you think?

Why Should I Participate?​

This competition represents a chance to become the face of the CompTIA brand across a number of platforms including CompTIA CertMaster learning products, live streaming to high schools lacking qualified instructors, pre-recorded content available on multiple social platforms, and more!

Here are the contest rules.

The CompTIA Talent Search Contest (the “Contest”) is open to legal residents currently residing in the 50 United States (including the District of Columbia) who: (i) are eighteen years old or the age of majority in their respective jurisdiction (whichever is older); and (ii) are CompTIA certified.

Well, ?

  • Question
New Instructor Looking for adjunct work

Hi All. I have been in the IT field for over 20 years and in different industries. I've never officially trained anybody aside from colleagues and sometimes hold tips and tricks inhouse. I hold a Network+ cert, as well as a few Microsoft certifications, including an Microsoft Certified Trainer. I've always wanted to be an instructor in IT and now that I have my MCT I would like to begin part time. So aside from having my certifications, How can I get an opportunity to instruct a class such as Network+ or A+ ?

I appreciate any assistance, or opportunities you may have.

Thanks.

CompTIA Cloud+ release date - July 16, 2024?

I'm not certain of the validity of this document, but it appears that the new version of Cloud+ will go live on July 16, 2024. No idea about the timeline for the beta exam scores.
