Anyone else encountering 701 PPT missing information

I am delivering a 701 course and I have noticed periodically the PPT Instructor slides are missing some content information when compared to the student guide.

I have included one example but there are others, lesson 10 is the one example I included where the PowerPoint ends with a Wi-Fi reference but the student guide ends lesson 10 with Bluetooth and NFC which are not shown in the PowerPoint. I don't recall this being an issue with 601 slides missing content shown in the student guide for the same lesson.

  • Question
CompTIA Roadmap

Hi All. Happy New Year. I was looking for information including dates on the transition from ITF to Tech+ and for details of any update for Network+. Is there one place I can find a roadmap for CompTIA courses with these and other course information and any associated Train the Trainer sessions? I can see that some of this stuff was announced at the CompTIA summit last year which I wasn't able to attend. Thanks in advance.

Training center looking for a virtual CASP+ instructor for next week

I had a client ask me if I could teach a virtual CASP+ class next week. Apparently, they had an instructor booked but he backed out at the last minute.

If you have the CASP+ cert and can teach a virtual class next week, you can use the contact information below. Do not contact me or ask me questions about the assignment because I don't know much more about it than what I've already mentioned. I had to pass because I'm already teaching next week.

Seemingly unauthorized resellers: how do they do it?

I've been talking to my usual CompTIA rep (aka "business development manager") via email and they were stimied by this one.

There's CompTIA exam voucher resellers who offer certification vouchers in ways that seem hard to compete with. These folks do not appear on CompTIA's registered partner list. Their websites also don't mention a parent company which could be on the list. What's more, their websites don't actually much of anything about the company! No registration information, no address.

Your initial thought might be "scammers", but supposedly plenty of folks on Reddit and elsewhere report getting their vouchers just fine. So payments are processed and working vouchers are delivered and used.

One example are voucherplex.com. They offer most vouchers at more than the usual 20% CompTIA partner discount. This might mean that they have a higher partner tier and thus get more discounts. But then why are they not on the partner list?

Another example is supervoucher.com. They are an even more interesting case! They offer exam vouchers with differing lifetimes, offering higher discounts for shorter lifetime vouchers. They also offer vouchers on a global level, so not just US/CA, but also UK, EU, Emerging markets etc, which should be impossible. I guess Supervoucher buy vouchers in bulk every month, selling them FIFO (first in first out) and then selling left-overs at reduced prices while they're almost expiring.

But again... they're not on the partner list, while they make claims about such status. They also don't list a parent company. No nothing.

Both companies, after some sleuthing, appear to be in Canada. One in Ontario, the other in Toronto.

I'm very curious about your insights... How the heck are companies that appear to not be registered partners buying vouchers in bulk? And how is one of them buying vouchers across the globe, instead of only in their own market?

CYSA 003 Lab

Thank you to CompTIA for creating a great lab for students which really make them understand better the practical hands on and theory part of the book. Those days we used to show it manually going to certain site but nowadays it's all in lab with explanation which the students understand better the course.
I make sure my students complete the lab before sit for the exam. Which will be very helpful when sitting for exam.

Cloud+ beta, february 2024

EDIT: Let me rephrase my post, instead of ranting like a jealous child. :)

Has anyone here received an invite for the current Cloud+ beta?

Login to view embedded media
I have missed out on multiple fun betas, because they didn't get publicly posted. Instead the invite was emailed to a limited group of people, whose demographics I don't know.

@Stephen Schneiter can you enlighten me? What is the process for inviting people into the betas?

Project+ Success!

When the boss asks me to run a project... No problem!

Sat and passed Project+ yesterday! Woohoo!

CompTIA Project+
is critical for successful project implementation as it equips professionals with essential skills in project management, ensuring effective planning, communication, and risk management throughout the project lifecycle. ?
