Hi Everyone. We would love to see some more engagement on our Question of the Week #7, and here it is:

The Instructor/Manager/Mentor does not see the progress of individual Students/Learners in the “Boost Dashboard”. What could be the cause of this and how can this be remedied so that you can see the analytics for your Students/Learners?

Posting in the Job Board thread as well...

We are looking to add at least 3 additional talented and engaging Data+ instructors as we anticipate high demand for Data+ cohorts. Data+ is a pre-cursor to an intensive Data Analyst program that we deliver and we are essentially making it a pre-requisite for our students. We prefer that our instructors have some practical data analytics and/or data science background. US based citizens only please, as we often teach on military bases.

We will need 1 more evening instructor - delivery format is Monday through Thursday evening Online Live from 6:00 to 9:30 pm EST.

We will need 2 more daytime bootcamp instructors - delivery format is Monday through Thursday evenings Online live from 8:00 am to 4:00 pm CST and EST. These are delivered Online Live, at our classrooms through Florida and Alabama, and at client locations.

Our instructor team will tell you that they are treated well and we would like the opportunity to share our culture with you. Thank you for your consideration!

Happy Weekend everyone! Question of the Week #6 was: Within CertMaster Learn can the Instructor also be assigned the role of Institution Admin/Supervisor? If so, how would this role be assigned to you?

Yes. The Instructor can be assigned the role of Institution Admin and/or Supervisor. These assignments are at the discretion of the Institution.

The Institution Admin would be able to assign the role of Institution Admin or Institution Supervisor to an Instructor.

Institution Admin
The person who makes the organizational purchase of a CertMaster Learn Organization Business License will automatically be setup as an Institution Admin for their Institution. The Institution Admin role allows the user to setup all other roles in the platform, including other Institution Admins, Institution Supervisors, Instructors, and Students. Once this role is assigned, you will have the highest level role within the Institution.

Institution Supervisor
The Institution Supervisor role gives the user access to the Boost Dashboard and they are able to view the reporting in the same way as the Instructor, with one added benefit. They get to see the Reporting for the entire Institution as a whole.

Instructor
Instructors have access to the Boost Dashboard (CertMaster Learn reporting hub). Instructors will only see the data for the groups and students they manage directly unless they are assigned the role of Institution Supervisor. The Instructor would typically be the one who is teaching the course but can also be a mentor or manager or anyone who requires the oversight provided within the Boost Dashboard.

Again, these roles are assigned at the discretion of the Institution.

A while ago, I found an old Wiley Cybersecurity book from the early 90s and decided to see what has changed from then until now.
I did up a short blog post on the similarities and differences here: https://jasoneckert.github.io/myblog/cybersecurity-in-the-90s/
I'm posting it here as it may make for a fun extra resource when teaching a Cybersecurity course.

Hello, I have taken all 12 sessions of Pentest+ training, how do I get my exam voucher?

@stephen Kindly I taught CYSA+ many times,each time students face some hardness of doing labs specially for SNORT,IOC I hope that next verion of CYSA+ labs will be more related

@ Stephen I would like to know if there is a dedicated course in Comptia for SOC "Security Operations Center" like EC-Council ,if not what about creating such a new course

Hi!

We are looking for a security+ instructor. Classes will in the evening 6PM - 8 PM CDT (this might flexible).

You will be teaching enthusiastic students that are ready to get into the Cybersecurity space. Our program is 10-12 weeks. This is cohort based learning. We are hoping to begin April 4th.

Please directly message me for next steps!

Thanks.

I'm looking for extra part-time teaching opportunities for a little extra income any suggestions on places to look?
I teach CompTIA cert classes at work usually twice a year for 6 weeks at a time so I'm looking for part-time opportunities.
Also, slide decks: Create my own or use CompTIA templates....assuming there are CompTIA templates available?

Thanks!

Does anyone have a 30 to 60-minute lab on "Cloud" basics? I was thinking of having students launch some AWS resources (free tier). Does anyone have something you can share on building / launching / managing cloud resources to put their learning into practice? This is for my 16 and 17 year old A+ students.

Hi there,
Do we have someone who has taken the Data+ exam already, who is South African based, especially in Gauteng?

Thank you.

REDEEM YOUR COMPLIMENTARY ETBIZ SELF-PACED LEARNING ACCESS KEY (CXJPHJQEOS) USING THE INSTRUCTIONS BELOW.​

An associate/student of mine just completed ITF+ along with his 8 year old daughter. She passed the test a couple of days before her 9th birthday (passed about 3 days ago). I know that CompTIA made a big deal a few years ago when a 12 year old was the youngest person to achieve A+ cert. Not looking for any hullabaloo but wondering if the good folks at CompTIA could check into the youngest ITF+ passer?

Thank you,

Most of the courses I have seen combine the Core 1 and Core 2 material into a single course. Do you think there is any benefit for students to focus on Core 1 first and then Core 2 (after passing the Core 1 exam)?

Thanks in advance for your input,
Joe

Hi,

What is the usual timeframe for CIN members to receive an exam voucher after attending all of the trainings? As an example, I've completed the Pen Test 002 TTT series within a day of the last session.

Thanks,
BG

Good Morning everyone.

Here's our Question of the Week:

Within CertMaster Learn, can the Instructor also be assigned the role of Institution Admin/Supervisor? If so, how would this role be assigned to you, the Instructor?

Kindly I would like to know at which day in April 2022 will A+ TTT will start.

I am very happy as New Horizons Cairo training center is going to add the most updated PEN+ ,A+,N+ and CYSA+ courses to its public schudle in Q2

It's Friyay Instructors!! And time for the answer to our Question of the week which was: How do I interpret my reporting? How do I break down my reporting for my student?

CM Learn
Within CertMaster Learn you are able to use the CertMaster Learn Reporting Guide to help you effectively interpret the reporting for your students. Our Guide provides you with key indicators as a way of assessing and dissecting the analytics presented to you within the reporting hub, the Boost Dashboard. As the Instructor, you have the ability to view, review and dissect your student's performance as well as your Group’s performance. Remember, the Group's feature is a very important part of the reporting process because grouping the Instructor and the Students (forming a 'class'), helps drive the reporting to the Boost Dashboard. The CertMaster Learn Reporting Guide is linked here.

CM Labs
Reporting is available through Usage-Based Billing (Contact your Business Development Manager to enquire ) and through the CertMaster Learn and CertMaster Labs Integrated product. With the CertMaster Learn and CertMaster Lab Integrated product, you will have all the benefits of dissecting your reporting within the CertMaster Learn Boost Dashboard, Because you will be viewing the reporting within CertMaster Learn, the CertMaster Learn Reporting Guide will be a great resource to use when navigating your student's progress and dissecting their performance.

CM Practice
Within CertMaster Practice, you are able to use the CertMaster Practice Reporting Guide to assist with effectively interpreting the reporting for your learner. This Guide will provide you with key indicators to look out for when interpreting the analytics contained within the three reporting structures: Report Home, Course Summary, and Learner Progress. The Instructor is presented with robust reporting within CertMaster Practice and we have linked our CertMaster Practice Reporting Guide here, so please check it out.

We also have a fantastic testimonial from one of our CIN’ers!! Thank you to @Rick Butler, who has established some excellent best practices within CertMaster Learn and our reporting hub, the Boost Dashboard!

Hey all,

I didn't get a link to register for the PenTest-2 like I did the rest. Can anyone send me think or post it here for if anyone else is having trouble. I did the intro stuff but never got to start on Lesson 1 and so on. Thanks.

Anyone know if the A+ Core 1 220-1101 & Core 2 220-1102 Sneak Peek will be recorded to watch later?
