Good morning,

I've been looking under resources to find the teach-the-trainer sessions of the past to watch on demand, and I don't see them listed anymore. Can you send me the link to where they are stored?

Thanks!
Tracey

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.
https://www.comptia.org/newsroom/pr...roduct-roadmap-expansion-covering-six-domains

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.

I am so excited to inform everyone here that today i just passed CySA+ (CS0-003) exam with a score of 785/750. Thanks to @Stephen Schneiter and all Cinners here for your support.

I passed SY0-701 yesterday. The content I am presenting for SY0-601 was prominent in the SY0-701 test. Cannot recall anything new in the new test.

Not good. Not bad. Just sharing. ?

Looks like everybody is drinking the AI Kool-Aid these days. That includes our friends right here, at https://www.comptia.org/newsroom/pr...roduct-roadmap-expansion-covering-six-domains

My compliments to the CAS-004 developers! I have taught CAS-004 several times, and found almost no errors in the student manuals.

Is anyone here working on developing the new CAS-005 / SecurityX materials?

@Stephen Schneiter does the development team want instructors to report inaccurate content? Does the team have a list of known errors so we can see what has already been reported?

Suggested CAS-004 content corrections before reusing the content in CAS-005 / SecurityX:

Page 117 “DSTS”
Suggested correction:
change to “HSTS”
Explanation:
HSTS is an initialism for “HTTP Strict Transport Security.”

Page 121 “Jack the Ripper”
Suggested correction:
change to “John the Ripper”
Explanation:
John the Ripper is a password cracking tool. Jack the Ripper was a serial killer.

Page 297 “director traversal”
Suggested correction:
change to “directory traversal”
Explanation:
In directory traversal, an attacker manipulates file paths.

Module 9, PowerPoint slide 16: “Block Ciphers”
Suggested correction: change to “Modes of Operation”
Explanation: A block cipher is a type of encryption algorithm. Block ciphers can have different modes of
operation. This slide covers modes of operation. As the slide notes point out, modes of operation are
techniques paired with symmetric encryption, they are not encryption algorithms.

YES! We are offering a Special Edition Sneak Peek! As you know Network+ is launching in May! Along with the new exam, it will also come with an updated, innovative learning platform with new features! Join us for a Sneak Peek of the content platform and what it offers for instructors along with tools designed to enhance your Network+ teaching and learning experience.

Our presenters, representatives from the CompTIA Products Team alongside experienced instructor/practitioners, are eager to guide you through the new features and offerings.

Topics for each session will include:

• enhancements in reporting and resources available for instructors
• overview of the new Instructor Toolkit

To ensure a tailored experience, we are offering two separate sessions

Passed PT0 -002: 780 / 750 this morning

My Story after passing Security + 701 on 7th March 2024 with 780 / 750 score, I bought the Pentest + CompTIA Certmaster Learning, Labs, Practice Questions and Exam Voucher on 10th March 2024 and immediately, started Studying and gave my self a target to write exam today on 27th March 2024. I had to put more hours on the resources and am glad to inform that I managed to pass. These exams are not simple, they require more effort. I get inspiration from CIN's encouragements and Discussions.

Now I want to try CySA 003

Section Leader Code In Place Badge

If anyone has any questions, let me know! I'll monitor this thread and answer what I can!

I have probably asked this question many times. I am asking this question because the CTT+ certification is no longer available. And I would like to deliver official CompTIA courses officially with the CompTIA partner network. To deliver the classes, do I need this CTT+ Credential? @Stephen Schneiter Thanls a lot

Hi Everyone, one of our Customer Success Managers, @Jayne Gubler had a question posted to her and she is looking for CIN to provide some feedback. Here is what Jayne past along.

An instructor asked me: "What positive and negative feedback are students saying regarding either CertMaster Learn & Labs or the former LabSim learning platform?"

We're dedicated to the ongoing enhancement of our platforms and value your insights on what aspects are proving effective and where there might be room for improvement. Could you share the feedback you've gathered from your learners regarding their experiences with these platforms?

I recently passed the AWS Solution Architect Associate exam. Two days later I received a heads up email message from CompTIA that one of my certifications was 180 days from expiration. I submitted the email from AWS for CEUs via Certmetrics and was very, very pleasantly surprised to receive follow up email from CompTIA that the AWS certification was applied to both Cloud+ and Linux+.

I've always been a fan of CEUs but I have to give a big positive shout out to the Certmetrics team for the quick and thorough turn around.

About that AWS Solution Architect Associate exam; I studied for 3 months and failed my first attempt (by 20 points). Passed 10 days later. That was one tough exam.

Hi,

I am currently evaluating two products for student use in our blended learning program, which combines independent learning with face-to-face sessions.

I'd really like to get your opinions on which product you or your students prefer and why, or if both are suitable options.

Your insights and opinions would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

Steve
