Speaker Request

We require program specific professional development for our adjunct instructors who teach dual credit courses in our district's high schools. A request has come in for a speaker from CompTIA to talk about certifications for our November 10th training. Is there someone I can reach out to about this?

Confused on CertMaster Learning Solution Offerings for 1100 series

Hello -

So I'm confused, and so are my superiors as to which product is what, especially regarding the new 1100 A+ series and which thing we should purchase for students. In the past, I think we have gotten CertMaster Practice (maybe?). I attached a screenshot. Students and I had access to the eBook, videos, practice lessons, and practice assessment. The labs were purchased separately from CompTIA but accessed through Skillable via comptialabs.learnondemand.net. (We would do the combined 1001 and 1002.)

Now there is an Integrated Product Learn + Labs. What does CertMaster Learn provide that Practice doesn't? I'm so confused. From how I'm reading it, the Authorized partner prices are the same for CertMaster Learn ILT and CertMaster Practice which confuses me even more.

Please help a poor confused instructor be able to tell their superior which product to buy in the cheapest way. Our program trains the unemployed using state funding, I wish we could go with the most and the best, but we need to go with the least expensive solution. At a minimum, we need labs, eBook, practice lessons, and practice assessments.

  • Question
CompTIA A+ 1100 Series Voucher

Can I use the 1100 series voucher I received through participation in the Core 2 220-1102 TTT course to test for the A+ 1101 exam instead? I had another voucher given to me through my employer before I received this voucher and have already passed the 1102 exam.

  • Question
What happened to all my products on login.comptia.org/training-products

I came in this morning logged on to login.comptia.org/training-products. Only to find that everything expired on on 2022-SEP-22.

As i did not buy these at the same time , i find it odd that they all expired on the same date.

Anyone out there experiencing the same issue??. Who can i speak to to sort this out?

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.
