I am Certified in Azure, AWS and Oracle Cloud and looking forward to get certified in CompTIA Cloud+.
Is the exam similar to the other cloud vendors or does it take on its own tech.

Hello everyone,

I have students asking about the course, if it will be updated. Anyone have any info?

Woohoo!!!

I passed the new Cloud+ beta exam! No studying, just winged it! Close one...7 points.

It was wonderful meeting @Stephen Schneiter and @Rick Butler in-person. They are nice people to talk to and have a deep insight of CompTIA.

Hello Everyone! Just in case you missed the post, I finally have the pictures to share. Here is @Rick Butler receiving his award at Partner Summit. I think the justification is clear, especially given the number of posts Rick shared throughout the event! Congratulations, Rick! Well deserved!

Also pictured is a collection of CINners, @Hod Berman, @Trevor Chandler, @Stephen Schneiter and @Brian Ford.

The folks at Black Hills Information Security are making their fantastic Infosec Survival Guide available for educators at no charge. See this post at LinkedIn for details.

Hello CIN:

So, given that we have taken on some new CIN members this week for Partner Summit as well as over the last month, this post is ONLY for posters that have less than 20 posts total. Anyone can like, but for this thread, I'm asking only new members to post. Let's see who comes up!

Suggested Reply Ideas

1) Who are you, for whom do you teach/work?

2) What is your current certification that you're working?

3) What kind of success stories do you have from where you're working?

In short, this is a "getting to know you" post. But as I said, it's only for the newbies in CIN - to get them posting.

Let's hear it!

Well, I had to skip the gym this morning because I had a panel rehearsal, but at breakfast, I fount this guy.. @Mark Anthony Germanos

I completed train the trainer for the 220-1101 on this network. Is the A+ no longer supported here? I don't find anything related to it anymore.

Who’s at partner summit? Make sure to say hi if you see me.

I joined session 9 late and got only 74 mins for attendance. I have been trying to rewatch the whole session to complete my attendance for at least 110mins but the session keeps timing out. is there something I need to do differenly?

Good morning you CIN'ers from across the sphere. Summit is on us and your Fedora sporting Agent is here to capture some of it for you all that cannot be here. Watch these threads through the day.

But before we start, some of you need to be in the Fitness Center with me. While some are running or doing some...Tai Chi...?!

No, y'all...it's time for some morning pain.

Come get some.

Hello all,

Please if someone can suggest/guide me in my situation.

I do have my MCT and Netacad Instructor accreditation from last 7 years. Now planning to start a Comptia A+ batch, but the employer forced me to get a Trainer accreditation from
Comptia. Pls if anyone can help me with the process or possible ways to obtain it

Let the gathering begin! CINners Welcome to Atlanta! Post and share any photos, key takeaways and anything else you find interesting and worth sharing with the rest of the community! Hope to see lots of folks here and lots of posting!

I was browsing through the Pearson Vue website so I could register for an exam, and I noticed that DataX is allowing the scheduling of exams starting August 5, 2024.

I was in the training session that started on June 20 and was curious about this. We were given access to the CertMaster Perform labs. Do we receive any CEU's for completing the labs? Also are they a part of the requirement for the voucher?

Have a great weekend and thank you.
Patrick.

Q1 asks for the IP address of Support's current default gateway
As you see, the answer should be 192.168.0.46



However, the answer that they want is 192.168.0.5.
I was like, where did that came from? LOL


Using TestOut for Network+ Labs is just frustrating.
I don't think I'll recommend using this platform to my classes.

Good day!

Just sharing with you another finding from the TestOut Network+ laboratory.

Q1 asks for the MAC address of the Ethernet card in Office 2.
Notice that none of the options are correct.




Q3 asks for the MAC address of the Ethernet card in ITAdmin.
Notice that none of the options are correct.



I've already reported this using the report link:

In the final session today of the Network+ TTT series, one of the topics discussed was SDWAN. I ran across this article a few hours later that would sprinkle a little seasoning on that final session - which by the way was a culmination of a tremendous series, delivered by Mr. Don Tilley!!!

Check out the article: "Where and How Do WAN, SD-WAN, and SASE Fit In?"
