Again new to this website

Hello All,

The are a lot of great resources here. I am really looking for some resources that are free that I can supply for my students to to practice for CompTIA exams or really any other National Certifications. Looking for resources that will help student practice for the exam, of course not just memorizing questions.

Any good resources would be appreciated.

Thank You,
Mike

Passed Project+ last night!!

This has been on my radar since the TTT, but only just got around to taking it.

I want to thank @Rick Butler for an amazing TTT. This is what enabled me to pass this exam. For anyone that is looking to still take this, ALL the information is in the TTT to pass. I went back over the sessions before I sat my exam.

THANK YOU AGAIN, @Rick Butler

  • Question
Certifications passing rates

Greetings,

I couldn't find in the CIN posts information about average passing rates of CompTIA certs in post-secondary institutions.
We finished 2023 Q2 with 65.2% average passing rate for CompTIA, MS365, AWS Cloud Practitioner and Azure certs.
Is it possible for anyone here to share some figures?

Best regards,

Juan

Not getting correct date on Completion Certificate

Hello All,

I have a problem with the 1101 TTT Series. I took all of them last year. This year I'm going through them again as things have changed and I want to take the Cert. exam. When I finish and pull up the Completion Certificate it has last years date. I have cleared all cache and cookies from the browser. The time and date on my computer is correct. Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you,
Mike

Comptia A+ ports Maze Game

Here is a fun game to help memorize A+ 1101 ports.
(there are some ports in the game that aren't on the U.S.A version of the test, but it still helps to use a process of elimination)

3rd Party Training Materials or Official CompTIA Learn & Labs

I'd like to ask why some trainers/colleges choose to use 3rd party training materials over CompTIA's official Learn & Labs and Practice. My thoughts are, since CompTIA is the certifying body, doesn't it make sense to use their materials? They are guaranteed to cover the necessary topics right?

With all the different 3rd party training options out there, what makes them better the CompTIA's? I know everyone wants to create their own and make some coin but I wouldn't go to a Chevy shop to fix my Ferrari. :) (I don't have a Ferrari) Maybe I would if I created my own study materials.......

I just ran an A+ class using L&L and it went great. Their supplied slides are crap and need a lot of mods but they flow with the lessons.

Thoughts anyone and thank you.

High School Teacher - New to A+

Hi All! My district is trying to provide students with as much opportunity as possible to earn industry certifications which is great especially for non college bound students. I am at a public high school in Colorado with 90 minute block periods - each class being a semester long. We are going to be using the TestOut curriculum program and I hope to get some old computers and devices to have students practice with. I will also be taking the test along with the first batch of students. The goal would be Core 1 in October at the end of Q1 and Core 2 in December at the end of Q2. Typically I teach programming but have taught networking in the past so some of the information will be new to me. Any words of advice or encouragement are welcome!

CySA/CASPs - Public Google Sheet - Anonymous APT Tracking

Was reading some news this morning regarding bias in reporting about cyber attacks originating in the West (the US doesn't hack does it??) when the author cited this little bit of fun reading:
Or as I heard it said, one person's government is another person's APT...

Happy Friday, y'all.

CompTIA Ireland / Europe Study Group

Hi all as a SME For CompTIA

I’m looking to start a study group to help train and support the next generation of IT Professionals in Europe.

I'm looking to team up with others in Ireland to get this going.

is there anyone here that would like to do This with me ?

just an FYI This is to help train others this is not a paid position but rather a Give Back position to help others.

The idea of this is to pass on the knowledge learned over the last 20+ years to others.

Kind regards
Matthew Browne CSIE CTT MVP
