Hi everyone!

I teach a variety of certifications like RHCSA, LPIC, AWS and would like to add CompTIA courses to my teaching skills. However, most of my students would also appreciate having the exam in their native language.

Does anyone know how we can support CompTIA in creating exams in different languages?

I am a native German speaker. I am also fluent in Japanese. This means I can provide some translations.

best regards,
Rene

Do any of you know when the Train-the-Trainer series for the CompTIA Data+ DA0-002 will be?

When is the Train-the-Trainer series for the CompTIA Data+ DA0-002 course.?

Hello,

There's a company that reached out to me that was interested in hiring me to teach Security+ as a subcontractor for them when they are able to obtain contracts. I have no problem with that. Today, they contacted me and said they may are negotiating for a client in Costa Rica, and they want to know what the charge would be for the courseware and labs. So I asked them if they were expecting me to bring all that to the table, and they said yes. I'm fine with that. I have an LLC, but it sounds as though I would need to become a CompTIA authorized provider. Does anyone know the process for setting that up, or could perhaps point me in the direction of someone at CompTIA who could advise me?

Thanks!

Hi everyone,


I’m having some trouble accessing the SecurityX 005 TTT on-demand recording. I’ve looked around but haven’t been able to find it anywhere.


I’m also a new member here, so I’d really appreciate any guidance or support you can offer. Thanks in advance!

Hi gang. I told an authorized training partner I can train Security+. They scheduled me to deliver Certified Ethical Hacker for a full week this upcoming November. They have not specified the curriculum yet. What content overlap can I expect with Security+ material in CEH?

Hello,

I am working with the CompTIA implementation team, but curious if others have identified these issues and how you are handling it.

When reviewing the point value of lab assignments, I observed that some labs seem wildly pointed which will result in significantly skewing grades without intervention.

Live labs (Perform product) are all pointed at 1 point, where as simulated labs are typically pointed based on the number of steps graded (ex: 2-10).

My concern is for live labs which appear to be consistently be valued at 1 point is devaluing them considerably against simulated labs which require much less work. Additionally, some simulated labs seeming to not follow the convention of one point per item graded and are pointed with what appear as crazy inappropriate values (upwards of over 30,000 points).

While I can update point values in Canvas, this appears to be a manually intensive operation, requiring each assignment to be updated individually. I am curious if others have seen this and have a better work around other than manually updating each assignment point value.

examples of simulated lab point values identified in Certmaster Perform Network + out of normal range for reference:
4.1.7 – Lab Explore ARP in Wireshark 311 points

4.4.7 - Lab: Use IPv4 Test Tools 611 points

6.4.11 - Lab: Troubleshoot IP Configuration 3 31,111 points

9.2.5 – Lab: Analyze a DDos Attack 1,111 points

12.1.9 - Lab: Configure Wireless Profiles 51 points

** any "live" lab 1 point

Hi everyone,


I'm Abdelhamid from Qdrat Institute for Training in Saudi Arabia. I currently teach foundational IT courses.


At the moment, I'm preparing myself to become a CompTIA certified trainer.
I haven’t obtained my exam voucher yet, and I’d really appreciate it if anyone could guide me on how to get it and what steps I need to follow.
I’m eager to understand the process and make sure I’m doing things the right way.


Also, if you have any tips, resources, or advice that helped you during your own certification journey, I’d love to hear them!


Thanks in advance – looking forward to learning from your experiences!

In retirement, I still remain active in California's community college system, serving as a course reviewer in its C-ID Program. An active effort for faculty involves the creation and utilization of "free textbooks" in what is called the OER program. Two potential resources out there that relate to CompTIA certifications are available for consideration. There may be more, and if you locate them, I'd appreciate it if you'd provide the link.

Hi there
New here so still learning. It appears that whenever I apply for my organization to become a CompTIA partner via this portal: https://partners.comptia.org/become-a-partner/ I never get any response. Tried it years ago, and now even tried it about a week ago. It would be great to know the reason behind this or if there is a hidden path I must follow?
Thank you
Moses

Hi @Stephen Schneiter and @Rick Butler

May I kindly ask how we can activate the resources (teaching aids) for the A+ 1200 series, specifically the trial lab access available under the Train-the-Trainer (TTT) series? Additionally, could you please advise on what we should communicate to the CompTIA representative to proceed with the activation?


Looking forward to your guidance.

Would it still be possible to get a voucher or discount for the CompTIA Tech+ certification exam? I even took the webinars last year and received the voucher, but due to other priorities I ended up letting time pass and it expired. I plan to take the exam later this year. Thanks for any help or guidance. &;-D

Kindly confirm if you have distributed Security X and CloudNetX vouchers @Stephen Schneiter
