Hello Everyone, we are so thrilled with all the engagement over the past week! To expand off of our first question, here is our next...

As an Instructor, what type of access do I have within the CompTIA learning platforms?

We look forward to reading and engaging in your responses! See you this Friday for the answer.

Does anyone know when the Data + instructor materiels will be avail for purchase

We are looking for a security+ Instructor to teach remotely online. Please reach out if available and interested.

Thanks,

I would like to know if is there a list of certifications plan webinar? if yes please provide. Thanks

Hey everyone, thanks for humoring us and we look forward to bringing many more topics up for discussion within the CompTIA CIN Network. I want to reiterate that our goal with this forum is to create some great discussion, provide some valuable information, and have fun doing it! So, now onto the answer for our first Question of the Week!

Question: How, as an Instructor can I get FREE access to CertMaster Learn?

Answer: There are many ways to take advantage of gaining access to CompTIA's products and solutions so I will try capture as much information here as I can. One way is to reach out to your CompTIA BDM (if you are not sure who that is please let us know and we can point you in the right direction), they can start by sending evaluation copies of ANY of our products, and they can also walk you through a demo of each to showcase ALL of the great features. Also, some other ways to gain access would be by engaging in CompTIA's many webinar events and discussions forums (such as CIN). You can find more information at

(IT) Information Technology Events - CompTIA Events | CompTIA

We bring the IT community together through our onsite (IT) information technology training. This training includes executive forums, regional events and virtual meetings, that allows our community to share their own ideas and visions for the future of IT.

connect.comptia.org

. Lastly, you can simply gain FREE access once your organization has adopted CompTIA products and solutions. Instructors will always receive free access within our CertMaster Learn, CertMaster Learn+Labs, and our CertMaster Practice platforms. If you have any questions, please reach out here or contact your CompTIA BDM. Have a great weekend everyone!

I teach Linux+ at the local community college using the current CompTIA Linux+ book. We implemented the labs in the book too... which use Centos7. I'm curious to know if the version of Linux used in the materials will change due to the announcements about CentOS future?

Thanks!

Hey everyone, we are excited to officially launch our Question of the Week series! Every Monday (aside from this week) we will be posting a new question around our CertMaster Suite of products. We want to hear from all of you, so please feel free to engage and share in conversation with us! EDIT: We will be posting the answers to these questions each Friday, so please send your responses or questions in the meantime!

To kick things off, our first question is:

How, as an Instructor do I get FREE access to CertMaster Learn?

Anyone else taking the Project+ beta? What are you doing to study in addition to reviewing the objectives?

Hi.
I missed PenTest+ TTT session 2 and session 3. I'm in GMT so the sessions begin in 01h00 AM in local time. Not easy sometimes for me.
So I need links to catch up, please.

Outside of academia, I kube the netes as an SRE for 2 different companies in Waterloo, Canada.
Kubernetes isn't easy to explore, so I did up a quick blog with something that students respond very well to (I have steps for both Windows & macOS hosts in there):

Recently the latest comptia Exams are testing on programming languages reading the output of a code or scripts in few programming languages. In official book or lab we don't have any info about it. For IT students it's easy for them to understand. But for non IT students even corporate people for example accounting or management people is quite hard for them to take up without knowing basic programming. We as trainer also having hard time explain to them when they ask why all this not in book but is tested in exam?

Is future comptia course going to be for IT students only?

My suggestion is add in a module to teach basic programming in our modules. Non IT Students will be able to answer the questions tested in exam.

The output from tools or OS is easy for students bcos they practice in lab and they have it in official book.

Programming languages?

My high school A+ students (15 to 16 years old) are struggling with the pace at which I am covering 220-1001. I have about 105 hours to give demonstrations, lecture, have them take notes, conduct class discussions, watch related videos, talk about current events, and give them quizzes and tests. They are complaining that we don't do nearly enough hands-on and I see they are having a hard time with the pace to get through the 600 page book in 180 days.

I teach in a comprehensive high school (40 minute classes, students have 6 other classes) where the students in my class have an array of abilities (from students with IEPs to those with no tech knowledge to a student who excels at all his classes to others that aren't that interested in technology but want to try for the cert).

Also, these teenagers aren't doing much in the way of reading or studying at home.

Any thoughts to help this struggling teacher?

I am trying to match up the NetLab N10-007 labs with an appropriate N10-008 Lesson. I was wondering if anyone has figured out an appropriate matchups between the existing labs and the new lessons?

Appreciate any feedback.

I am trying to match up the NetLab SY0-501 labs with an appropriate SY0-601 Lesson. I was wondering if anyone has figured out an appropriate matchups between the existing labs and the new lessons?

Appreciate any feedback.

Do you prefer E book learning way? or the physical manual to give to students?

Hello CIN Community,

I would like to share that tomorrow we bring to you a very special webinar showcasing how careers in technology can be inclusive. We have an all-deaf panel of ITPros (and our interpreters) sharing more about a day in the life of an ITPro. This is great content to share in your classroom either live or on-demand. REGISTER

Please can i have the links for the above mentioned.

I'd really appreciate it.

Just came out of CFR-410(BETA) - CyberSec First Responder exam. No clues whether I will pass or fail, but I had a feel good experience.
100 questions & 2 hours,
2 hours well spent on a weekend.

Like many of you, I have been involved in technology since the early 1970s. I have taught at the college and university levels, and currently am an adjunct instructor. One of my major concerns has been the bias and racist terminology that still exists within our field. For example, current tech-based textbooks still refer to Master/Slave configurations, or allowing "good" websites by marking them in white lists, while barring "bad" website through black lists. There are many other examples found in our field. Many years ago I started to update my lectures and presentations to reflect inclusiveness by removing biased, racist, and negative concepts. I am interested in working with other instructors in updating how we present technology in today's world. Hopefully, we can also convince textbook publishers to update how they present technology.

Team, I just sat and passed/renewed my Network+ exam. Excellent exam! It definitely hit on most-to-all networking objectives. I thought the simulation questions were realistic and painted a real-world environment picture.

Know the 'what' and 'why' of each testing objective. Keep at it! Keep studying!
