So... Braindump sites are everywhere. And then there's videos like these...

Where the creator specifically goes over the question and confirms that the question is on the exam.

Can CompTIA confirm that:

• They are protecting the value of our certifications by cracking down on dump sites like ExamTopics?
• They are protecting the value of our certification by revoking certification status for know NDA breakers?

I dislike pointing to specific people like Selena, but this stuff is really blatant.

Hi Everyone,

Say, have any of you done any work for a company named Force7 Training out of Colorado Springs, Colorado?

Thanks.

Hi Everyone,

Just curious if anyone has a recording of a day 1 of 5 day delivery where they walk through the CertMaster Platform, show how to use it, tell the Learners how to use it, and then talk about the method they (as an Instructor) are going to use to deliver the course?

My thinking is that (depending on the size of the class) it would be like the first hour or less of the course.

Thanks everyone.

I'm having trouble accessing Session 4 on on24, anyone else having the same problem?

Page looks like it's loading content but i can't see any of the handsome Gentlemen or resources after a few minutes it says " Webinar has concluded. Thank you for engaging with us"

I would love to get your feedback. Why on the Reddit for CompTIA is there so much negativity toward official learning resources? Why does everyone almost always recommend Dion and Messer? So many of us are trying to teach to students and I can't help wonder if I should be using different resources. I certainly understand the advantage of using multiple resources, but due to time and budgets, I can't have/use everything.

Hi All,

I am looking for some new activities to use in teaching A+ classes. Is anyone willing to share favourite Kahoots or other activities we can use?

(You can share Kahoots for other certifications as well, they're all useful eventually!)


Thanks everyone!

Hi All!

I was just wondering if there is a place here on the CIN website, that shows the past classes you have relieved credit for or the courses you are currently registered for? Any info is much appreciated!

Thanks!

Hey everyone and Happy Monday! I wanted to throw this out there this week as we are a good ways into the NEW CompTIA SSO process, and wanted to make sure to address any questions around this topic.

So, instead of posing a question I will leave this open to anyone that may be experiencing issues, or just has questions around this topic. On Friday we will post some of our Best Practice and Resources information so you will be able to address or answer any questions from Students who may have them. See you then!

Hi all

I've been trying to catch-up on the last A+ TTT sessions 11&12 , but on24 keeps saying the Content not available or is still being processed.

Anyone else out there getting the same issue?

There are some great talks in there, including Jim Manico’s epic OWASP keynote:

This is a great addition for any Security+/CySA+/Pentest+/CASP+ course.

The instructor guide code Stephen sent out does not work. Anyone else having a similar issue?

Hey everyone, we got some great responses and insight already, so I will continue some of those messages and provide our insight as well. Please see the attached file for more detail and screenshots of the specific product platforms and functionality.

CertMaster Learn
As we know with CertMaster Learn, this is the FIRST step into learning, where a lot of concepts are new, and the learners are really just taking in everything they can in their first step of preparing to become certified. Within each lesson, the learners will have "Practice Questions" which are timed (just like the certification exam) but will be presented in groups of 10-15 questions per lesson. Once ALL of the lessons have been completed, it is now time to take the FINAL ASSESSMENT. For CertMaster Learn, this is the final step into validating the learner's grasp of the concepts and material, and a decision can be made to move to the certification exam, or into further validating their skills with the use of CertMaster Practice.

Pro Tip: Within the "Resources" section in CertMaster Learn (left margin, at the bottom underneath Game Center) you will see a document titled "Mapping Course Content." This document will come in handy either when preparing for the exam, or if you are taking the exam again. This will highlight ALL lessons within CertMaster Learn and how they map to the CompTIA Exam objectives for that specific certification exam. Please urge your Students to pay attention to this document and keep it handy.

CertMaster Practice
With CertMaster Practice, we have moved from the learner mentality into the "Test-Prep" mindset. CertMaster Practice is chock full of exam review questions (700-1000) and are presented in groups of around 12-30 depending on the module and exam objective weight that is covered within the certification exam. Again, the Practice Test within CertMaster Practice will help solidify the learner's knowledge and fully validate their readiness for the certification exam.

Pro Tip: When using the timed Practice Test within CertMaster Practice, because we have already learned and absorbed all of the content from CertMaster Learn, we can use this test at the BEGINNING of CertMaster Practice as our first-step validation to see where the learner left off in CertMaster Learn. Once going through more practice modules, we can use this again in the MIDDLE and lastly at the END to help further validate the learner's readiness for full certification. Best practice is 2-3 times through the practice test with a score of 85-90% or higher (only 80% is needed to pass the certification exam, but this will give your Student a buffer as the questions will somewhat vary on the high-stakes exam)

I haven't been able to attend the last few webinars live, since I am now teaching some evening classes which conflict timewise. I have been listening to the on-demand content but I haven't heard (Or I've missed) Allen mention the list he talked about posting regarding Kahoot exercises (or others) that he had been asking attendees to post in the meeting chat. Did that get posted somewhere that I missed, or is it still something that's being worked on?

Are instructors entitled to Free license of CompTIA Learn + Labs + Practice for instructors? If so, how do we avail of them?

I was going through practice questions with my students yesterday and we were given the question, "An HTTPS application is secured using the SSL/TLS protocol but should use a different port for unencrypted HTTP. Which port should unencrypted HTTP use"?

We all agreed the answer was TCP/80, but that was incorrect, with the correct answer being TCP/143. I wanted to reach out the community of other instructors here so I could get a better understanding of why the answer was 143 and not 80, not just for myself but for my students as well. From reading the CompTIA A+ book, TCP/143 is HTTP associated with IMAP and reading mail messages on a server mailbox, where TCP/80 is your standard HTTP for unsecure websites. Thanks in advance for any input and clarification as to why the answer to this question is TCP/143 and not TCP/80.

This would make a good addition to the macOS topic within an A+ course (or if macOS is covered within your Linux course):

Hi All,
Do anyone providing real time scenarios for students to practice in Cybersecurity? If Yes, please share. It will help me to make students get a real time experience..

Thanks

Hi all,

probably a question for @Stephen Schneiter, but just got the warning email for tonight's Session (first of Core 2), and the time on it is 7pm CDT, is this right? There was talk of it being an hour earlier at 6pm CDT, has this been changed and then not changed on the warning email? Be great if it is an hour earlier as I am attending from the UK! (CDT +6 hours).

Thanks in advance for any help/info

Hello
@Stephen Schneiter

Did anyone received Data + voucher yet!

How to Submit:

If you are planning on submitting, please let us know how we can support you!

Hey everyone and happy Monday! Continuing our theme of Exam readiness, we are starting this week off with a question around the Final Assessments that are available, and what you can do (or what you are doing) to help Students prepare for the CompTIA Certification Exam.

Question: How can you best utilize (or how are you utilizing today) the Final Assessments within both the CertMaster Learn and/or CertMaster Practice products to help ensure that Students are prepared for the high-stakes CompTIA Certification Exams?

This is inspired by a recent question from an Instructor, so please share ANY and ALL ideas, thoughts and suggestions to us and your fellow Instructors. We will circle back Friday with our take and hopefully some great conversations, have a great week everyone!
