Empower your students with hands-on cybersecurity practice without building your own labs! As a cybersecurity instructor, you may be on the lookout for easily accessible ways for students to apply what they learned in class. CompTIA and the National Cyber League (NCL) present the CIN NCL Forum, providing information on the NCL bi-annual all-virtual competition, along with tutorials, webinars, blogs, lesson plans, how to use NCL as labwork, and connecting with the NCL Coaching Community. NCL coaches, feel free to share your NCL experience in this Forum!

NCL, powered by Cyber Skyline, helps high school and college students improve their cybersecurity capabilities in 9 categories, which are mapped to CompTIA’s certifications. The categories are: Open Source Intelligence, Cryptography, Password Cracking, Log Analysis, Network Traffic Analysis, Forensics, Web Application Exploitation, Scanning, and Enumeration & Exploitation.

Participating instructors and coaches receive free access to the NCL practice gym. The cost for students is only $35 per season, which includes access to the practice Gym, an optional Preseason Game, an Individual Game, an optional Team Game (up to 7 people), Slack channel, and a Scouting Report (which provides details on strengths and areas for improvement to prepare for a career in cybersecurity).

Registration for the Fall 2021 Season opens August 23, along with the practice Gym. The Preseason Game runs October 11-18; Individual Game is October 22-24; Team Game is November 5-7. Add a registration reminder to your calendar at this link.

Can anyone share with me a link to information about and possibly registration for CompTIA Certmaster Instructor (LMS) training?

Thanks!

Hi,

I got an email from the folks below. I am not able to go to NC that week.
I have no information about the job. I am just posting it if someone happens to be interested.

If you are interested, please contact them directly. I have no association with them, just posting it for them.

I just purchased an academy partner A+ voucher for $106.00US and noticed there is now a $12.72 tax, so the total bill came $118.72 US.
I purchased an A+ voucher in June for $106.00 US, no tax.
Something change recently?

Thanks,

Hi Guys,

I recorded a portion of my actual class session today to submit it and hopefully pass the TK0-202 (classroom performance-based exam). You can watch it here: https://1drv.ms/v/s!AvC-mif_Iw336gwMlPnBfXmdeBzO?e=DYSI8k

I know many of you here are already CTT+ and I just wanted to get some feedback about my video. I want to know if this will suffice or if I need to record another one.

I'm hoping that you can help me out on this. Please feel free to let me know your thoughts.

Thank you in advance.

- Ivan Jude.

Please tell me that I'm wrong but isn't it time for Ring Topology to be removed from the Network+ objectives? I understand that there are things left in the objectives that are relevant and still in use but not sure about this one. I do see that Cat 3 cabling is gone though.

Came to my attention in my inbox today a splash of comptia cooking a new certification: DATA+
SQL and Python are among the disciplines in the exam objectives.
Would comptia ever consider a programming fundamentals certification now that is so important for both cloud and cybersecurity (more on the latter )
What are your thoughts?

CompTIA has signed on as a sponsor of the US Cyber Games, a national program created to inspire the next generation of cybersecurity professionals through training and competitions, culminating in the inaugural International Cybersecurity Challenge in Athens, Greece, this December. Pretty cool. Check out the press release: https://www.comptia.org/newsroom/pr...mes-welcomes-comptia-as-a-contributor-sponsor

Be sure to register for Partner Summit and check out the agenda! We've been meeting with session panelists as we plan the event and WOW!

We look forward to seeing you at the event!

The attached is an effort where I'm mapping rooms on the TryHackMe site to specific exam objectives for the SY0-601 exam for inclusion in my efforts to build supplemental content for the fall Security+ courses I'll be teaching. You may find this useful.

All,
How do I go about changing my profile / user login email address. Been looking through the account settings, can't find anywhere to do it. I'm not affiliated with the college and the college email address that I originally signed up with and would like to change it to my new college.
Thanks in advance!

Yes! That is correct! It is time to say, good-by double O seven, and hello N10-008! Join us on Wednesday July 14th as we welcome CIN member @samberumen who will walk us through changes in the new exam.

What: two-hour webinar investigating updated certification
When: Wednesday July 14, 2021 2:00 p.m. CST
Where: ON24
Who: Sam Berumen Florez, MASANET
Registration: https://bit.ly/CINSP-NetPlus008

I've packaged a course that is largely public domain (grant-funded), and with the exception of access to the Practice Labs virtual lab environment, free access to the content is available. All you need is to download the course export file (link below) and set up a free Canvas LMS teacher account, and you are good to go. This certification is foundational in nature and IMHO excellent for middle school and high school students as a starting point in this certification race track. The good news is students completing this course and certification will be well prepared for your A+, Network+, Security+, ...+ courses.

Sorry, I'm new here so I'm not sure if this has been addressed. I've seen a tentative release for the N10-008 Network+ Exam for August 2021. However, does anyone know if there will also be the usual 6 to 8 month overlap in Exam options before the N10-007 is completely retired and one can no longer sit for that one? Any input would be very helpful. Thank you.

I got the CTT+! ????

I'm a bit confused now:
I thought the cert would be called (as per comptia.org)
CompTIA Certified Technical Trainer (CTT+)

As I took the 203(virtual class trainer).
my cert title is instead:
CompTIA CTT+ Virtual Classroom Trainer
If so, It is a bit deceiving - as comptia.org says that Candidates passing the exams (201 + 202) or (201+203), would acquire the CompTIA Certified Technical Trainer (CTT+)

I can see an issue here - ambiguity -
Or can the 202 be taken as well after passing the 203?

Thank you.

Hello, I am looking for your best ways to teach simple programming to young adults with no programming background, preferably something that relates to ITF+ level of knowledge. If you would prefer to talk, please call me at The Dan Marino Foundation (954) 368-6000. Thanks in advance. -Benny

CIN TTT - Cloud+ CV0-003 Series Registration

Summary

The next release for CompTIA Cloud+ is here!
Join the CompTIA Instructor Network and special guest Glenn Hobbs as he takes us through the objectives of the new exam. We will discuss how to cover the content with students and suggest various labs to let students gain hands-on experience as they prepare for certification.
CompTIA Cloud+ validates the skills you need to maintain and optimize cloud infrastructure services.

• Cloud+ covers the increased diversity of knowledge, skills and abilities required of system administrators to validate what is necessary to perform effectively in data center jobs.
• CompTIA Cloud+ views cloud-based infrastructure services as an increasingly important piece of an organization’s IT systems.
• It is the only vendor-neutral, performance-based certification covering more than a specific vendor or a single function — such as security or networking — to help you better realize the return on investment of cloud infrastructure services.

Cloud CV0-003 TTT

Hi Y'all,

I am new to CIN. I have been asked to create and teach a Security+ course.
We will have access to the CompTIA resources. It will also be a class held in the evenings.

I have several questions:
How many class meeting times do you have for your course?
How long is your class meeting time?
Do you do a hybrid online/offline course?
And approximately how long did it take you to develop your course?

Thanks!
