Hello @Stephen Schneiter I was wondering if it's possible to increase the period of access for the PenTest+ CertMaster resources.

Thanks.

Hi

We are a CompTIA Platinum Partner with offices in the UK, Ireland, Australia and New Zealand.

We are using a flipped classroom model to training our students who learn online and then attend virtual classes to embed their learning.

We are planning to run more classes in evenings and at weekends for various CompTIA certifications across our time zones and are looking for instructors to help us scale up.

Initially we are hiring for A+, Network+ and Security+ with CySA but in due course would expect to roll out across the whole suite of CompTIA Certifications including Data+.

If you would be interested or know someone that is, please email me, [email protected].

Best regards

Mark

Hi everyone, I'm researching ways to improve CompTIA's instructor resources offer, and I'd love to have your input.

I'm scheduling two focus groups to discuss the following:

• How instructors use our existing instructor resources.
• Which resources instructors wish we would include.
• What new resources we have currently in development.

Please take a look at the form (https://app.smartsheet.com/b/form/a57f065fa77d4a09bea18cbcd951a360) and sign up for either of our 1-hour focus groups to share your experiences. Thank you!

I had the opportunity to do a Lunch n' Learn with a local dentist's office. I raised cybersecurity awareness on various topics such as small business data protection best practices, social engineering, working from home, various flavors of malware, and social media.

I am looking for the link for CIN TTT Series: Data+ DA0-001 Session 3.

I miss the class and can not find the link in my email.

Please help me out.

Thank you.

I have received my access to the Official CompTIA Data+ Instructor Guide (DA0-001).

Thank you Stephen Schneiter

Nationally more than 50% of jobs require skills training beyond a high school diploma, but not at the level of a bachelor’s degree. In terms of the local landscape, more than 90% of DC residents over the age 25 possess a high school diploma while about 50% possess a bachelor’s degree. These data make clear the need for DC to continue its work of increasing workforce development offerings that provide residents with occupational skills training that leads to nationally recognized credentials needed to enter or advance in the highly skilled workforce within the DMV region.

The Chart Academy, launching in the spring of 2022, will respond to the call to close the gap between the number of skilled jobs and the number of qualified professionals by providing access to education and professional career development in the areas of information technology, healthcare, early childhood education, and environmental services.

The Information Technology Instructor (Adjunct Faculty) opportunity will provide passionate, tech savvy educators with space and resources to mentor, create, and deliver innovative online and in-person instruction. The incumbent will be offered the opportunity to also engage in process improvement strategies for student success and share in the connection to developing partnerships with the community and individuals. A great opportunity to be part of a team embarking on next generation higher learning

Is there a book? If yes is there a way to get a paperback version of it?

Hi Everyone. We would love to see some more engagement on our Question of the Week #7, and here it is:

The Instructor/Manager/Mentor does not see the progress of individual Students/Learners in the “Boost Dashboard”. What could be the cause of this and how can this be remedied so that you can see the analytics for your Students/Learners?

Posting in the Job Board thread as well...

We are looking to add at least 3 additional talented and engaging Data+ instructors as we anticipate high demand for Data+ cohorts. Data+ is a pre-cursor to an intensive Data Analyst program that we deliver and we are essentially making it a pre-requisite for our students. We prefer that our instructors have some practical data analytics and/or data science background. US based citizens only please, as we often teach on military bases.

We will need 1 more evening instructor - delivery format is Monday through Thursday evening Online Live from 6:00 to 9:30 pm EST.

We will need 2 more daytime bootcamp instructors - delivery format is Monday through Thursday evenings Online live from 8:00 am to 4:00 pm CST and EST. These are delivered Online Live, at our classrooms through Florida and Alabama, and at client locations.

Our instructor team will tell you that they are treated well and we would like the opportunity to share our culture with you. Thank you for your consideration!

Happy Weekend everyone! Question of the Week #6 was: Within CertMaster Learn can the Instructor also be assigned the role of Institution Admin/Supervisor? If so, how would this role be assigned to you?

Yes. The Instructor can be assigned the role of Institution Admin and/or Supervisor. These assignments are at the discretion of the Institution.

The Institution Admin would be able to assign the role of Institution Admin or Institution Supervisor to an Instructor.

Institution Admin
The person who makes the organizational purchase of a CertMaster Learn Organization Business License will automatically be setup as an Institution Admin for their Institution. The Institution Admin role allows the user to setup all other roles in the platform, including other Institution Admins, Institution Supervisors, Instructors, and Students. Once this role is assigned, you will have the highest level role within the Institution.

Institution Supervisor
The Institution Supervisor role gives the user access to the Boost Dashboard and they are able to view the reporting in the same way as the Instructor, with one added benefit. They get to see the Reporting for the entire Institution as a whole.

Instructor
Instructors have access to the Boost Dashboard (CertMaster Learn reporting hub). Instructors will only see the data for the groups and students they manage directly unless they are assigned the role of Institution Supervisor. The Instructor would typically be the one who is teaching the course but can also be a mentor or manager or anyone who requires the oversight provided within the Boost Dashboard.

Again, these roles are assigned at the discretion of the Institution.

A while ago, I found an old Wiley Cybersecurity book from the early 90s and decided to see what has changed from then until now.
I did up a short blog post on the similarities and differences here: https://jasoneckert.github.io/myblog/cybersecurity-in-the-90s/
I'm posting it here as it may make for a fun extra resource when teaching a Cybersecurity course.

Hello, I have taken all 12 sessions of Pentest+ training, how do I get my exam voucher?

Hi!

We are looking for a security+ instructor. Classes will in the evening 6PM - 8 PM CDT (this might flexible).

You will be teaching enthusiastic students that are ready to get into the Cybersecurity space. Our program is 10-12 weeks. This is cohort based learning. We are hoping to begin April 4th.

Please directly message me for next steps!

Thanks.

I'm looking for extra part-time teaching opportunities for a little extra income any suggestions on places to look?
I teach CompTIA cert classes at work usually twice a year for 6 weeks at a time so I'm looking for part-time opportunities.
Also, slide decks: Create my own or use CompTIA templates....assuming there are CompTIA templates available?

Thanks!

Does anyone have a 30 to 60-minute lab on "Cloud" basics? I was thinking of having students launch some AWS resources (free tier). Does anyone have something you can share on building / launching / managing cloud resources to put their learning into practice? This is for my 16 and 17 year old A+ students.

Hi there,
Do we have someone who has taken the Data+ exam already, who is South African based, especially in Gauteng?

Thank you.

REDEEM YOUR COMPLIMENTARY ETBIZ SELF-PACED LEARNING ACCESS KEY (CXJPHJQEOS) USING THE INSTRUCTIONS BELOW.​

An associate/student of mine just completed ITF+ along with his 8 year old daughter. She passed the test a couple of days before her 9th birthday (passed about 3 days ago). I know that CompTIA made a big deal a few years ago when a 12 year old was the youngest person to achieve A+ cert. Not looking for any hullabaloo but wondering if the good folks at CompTIA could check into the youngest ITF+ passer?

Thank you,
