Looking for CompTIA Instructors near Kankakee, 60901

I am currently the Director of Computer Science training at Kankakee Community College. I am looking to create curriculum that results in college credit and also will hit all objectives for the certs. We all know how important certifications are and by giving students pathways to a degree and also getting them certified at the same will open many doors for these students. Currently our IT programs are seriously lacking but we are looking to change that. Are there any local instructors that may be interested in either FT or adjunct work? We have not posted any jobs yet but I wanted to check here for any interest first.

Thanks,

John

  • Question
Balancing a work CompTIA account and personal account

Good evening!

I was wondering how does one go about managing multiple CompTIA accounts? For example, I have my personal account that I received my certifications under. I have my work account for access to CIN, store benefits for purchasing resources for students, etc. I may receive benefits under my work account that should, in theory, transfer to my personal account. I have training credits from attending prior TTT webinars that should apply to my personal account for recertification but I attended the events under my work account. I reached out to someone in charge of TTT on 8/17 to see if I could get some answers but I haven't heard anything. I'm sure I'm not alone in this so I wanted to ask the community for your thoughts?

Does the NSA/DHS Designation as a CAE Provide Unwanted Attention for Colleges/Universities?

In the article I raise the possibility that academic institutions obtaining the NSA/DHS designation as a Center of Academic Excellence (CAE) may be drawing the unwanted attention of ransomware gangs, seeking to demonstrate their skills against alleged hardened targets. Thoughts?

From Question of the Week.... to Question of the Month!?

Hi everyone!

It has been such an amazing experience for the Partner Support Team over the past few months, establishing ourselves within CIN and connecting with you all. The Interaction has been so valuable to us and now that you are all familiar with us and know that we are here for you, we are going to move to a monthly cadence of our Questions and Answers series. This does not mean that our interaction with you is going to change at all. In fact, we are intensifying our overview of this and other forums within CIN so that we can support you throughout your journey with CompTIA.

It was so great to see everyone at the Partner Summit! Thank you to those who stopped by the Learning Lounge to see some demos, get some 1-1 time with our experts, and those who were actively looking for us for that all-important face-to-face introduction. Our entire team was not able to attend this time so we look forward to the next event where the possibility of meeting face-to-face is even greater!

A reminder that this forum is for all conversations relating to CertMaster Solutions. If you have a question about implementation or functions, this is the place to post. Also, use this area to share your experience and best practices for how you are implementing CertMaster Solutions. Let's keep the conversation going and accelerate our peer-to-peer knowledge sharing to make this worldwide community a great success!

And Lastly, submit your questions, comments, advice now! We can't wait to hear what you have to say.

Have a great week everyone and thank you for being so awesome!!

Time for a Little Humor

I live in a 55+ community. As I work my way into full retirement I've been providing tech support for community residents. Not wanting to give this service away, I ask residents to make donations by going to the following website:

A couple of days ago, one of the residents sent me a link (see below) as a joke that points to a challenging aspect of providing tech support to seniors. A warning regarding the link. Some of you may find it distasteful so don't click it.

CertMaster Lab stuck in a "Running" state, what to do?

My CEUs are due tonight by 1:59 AM EST. I have completed 99% of the Certmaster Learn and labs to gain my last needed 25 CEUs. However, one lab is stuck in a "Running" state and will not award my last 30 knowledge points to get the completed certificate needed. Anyone have any advice? Other than, "Well, you had 3 years to complete this..." LOL

Partner Summit: Day 2

Well good morning, CIN, it's day 2 of the Partner Summit and the last day for all the festivities. With ChannelCon wrapping up and after last night's bash out on the Navy Pier, people are a little slower on the take.

Hopefully you've had an opportunity to see what it's like if you yourself wasn't able to make it in person.

So let's get started with the day! Chime in and let us know how you've liked the sessions.

Partner Summit: Day 0

Hit the ground and got to meet a number of great folks already. @Stephen Schneiter and @Thomasina Hammond found me, even without the hat. I think the shirt gave it away. They're doing the last minute preps to get On24 out there for the virtual attendees.

Hope to see/meet more of you today or tomorrow! And if you're attending Virtually, post out here as well!
