CIN Instructor Toolbox Series: Best Practices for CertMaster Lab Integration

Be sure to join us October 19th for the next Instructor Toolbox session as we welcome Penelope Johnson from CompTIA and her quest, Eric Strause and Joel Nix, both from Skillable as they talk about best practices for integrating CertMaster Labs into your environment.

Integrating CertMaster Labs throughout your course improves learner aptitude and engagement but it can also add complexity which can take valuable time away from an already tight schedule.

During this session we will discuss common questions that can arise when integrating labs throughout your class. This two-hour webinar will focus on providing tips, tricks and best practices on how to efficiently address these questions so that you can focus on providing a rewarding and engaging learning experience.

@Penelope posted a survey she is asking for you to complete prior to this session. If you have not had a chance to see the post, or complete the survey, here is the survey link.

Project+ beta results

I see on the website the new Project+ exam is scheduled to release on Nov 8. Is that when we can expect to get Project+ beta test results? It's been a while since I've had to wait on beta results, lol. This one has been a very long wait!

CompTIA Learn Strengths & Weaknesses

Some of my students which are using CompTIA Learn are wondering how the "Strength & Weaknesses" score is calculated, and how they might be able to improve their rating. A few questions:

- Are there any guides explaining how this works on the backend?
- Does the system use historical performance, i.e., if I retake practice questions, will my rating improve?
- Baring specific details, are there any generic guidance on how one might go about increasing their score?

A+ certified x2 (GFL+CE), and just 25 years between them!

Got my 1102 TTT voucher on Thursday afternoon and took the exam at pretty much my first opportunity--which happened to be this morning at 12:45 am. ? Passed with a 761 after just a quick run-through of all of the practice questions on the Official Instructor Guide. I didn't go too hard with review for this one because I figured that if I didn't pass, I'd be getting another free voucher in a few months anyway when I registered for the corresponding course at WGU, but now I don't even have to take that!

A+ GFL certified February 1998
A+ CE certified September 2022

  • Question
A+ Classroom Length

From your experience what is a good timeframe/schedule to teach the A+ Core 1 & 2 Objectives. Do you separate 1 & 2 into different classes? How long do you give for each? 4 weeks? How many hours per day?

We will soon be teaching these courses at a Junior college and want to also build them into credit courses where they would get an Associates degree and leave with an A+ cert if desired. I visualize Core 1 being a 3 credit course and 2 being another. I think the traditional 16 weeks of most college courses is too long and students are likely to forget something from almost 4 months prior. What types of schedules do you use?

Does anyone currently do something like this? Any insight is most appreciated.

Thanks,

j

Linux+ TTT series

Hi, I have attended all 10 Linux+ TtT sessions via ON24. I have all of my certificates, and also have them downloaded, however if I now go back to access any of the recorded sessions I receive an error advising my email address is not registered.

If I click the webinar link from within the Webcast emails I can access the sessions on demand, using my email address.

I just want to check that my attendance has been registered correctly for the Linux+ sessions.

Thanks.
Rob.
