Hi All

What is the difference between CertMaster Learn and learn.comptia.org. I already have a subscription for learn.comptia.org do I need CertMaster Learn as well or is it the same content?

I just received a 90 Day Reminder Regarding your CompTIA Certification email letting me know that I needed to complete certification hours or retest for one of my certifications.

Having attended so many wonderful TTT and reaping the rewards, I was not sure which Certification it was applying to so I had to go look. Turns out it was my Cloud+ ce certification. It also says N / A under continuing education.

Here is my question (though I think I know the answer): Even though it says "ce" after its name, this is one of the certifications that the only way to renew is to retest on that exam?

Linux+ is the other one on my list. I just successfully retested my CySA+ ce and it renewed some of the others, but not those, which is why I am certain I know the answer already. I am just confused I guess about the "ce" labeling. Now that I think about it, it is probably just to indicate it expires.

Welcome to 2021! We are kicking off the new year with Security+ TTT!

Join us beginning February 16th for the CompTIA Security+ SY0-601 Train-the-Trainer (TTT) series. This series is offered to provide support for instructors seeking to gain a better understanding of technical concepts and exam preparation as you prepare to teach the latest cybersecurity offering from CompTIA. We are please to announce Peter Thompson from Firebrand Training will be our instructor for the series.

Sessions will be held Tuesday’s and Thursday’s from 1:00 – 3:00 pm CT. Please note our first session will be 30 minutes longer, 1:00 – 3:30 pm CT. as we will be joined by Patrick Lane, the Security+ Product Manager as he addresses some of the changes to the certification.

Register for the series now to save your seat!

Please direct my to any training for instructors on how to use CertMaster for instructors. Thanks

Is there, or will there be, an official list of ports? In the 501 there was a couple of pages with ports/protocols/acronyms that students could reference.
A concise list like that would be helpful.

The A+ course has a few formats, mostly remote, some on-campus for hands on elements.
Please apply for more information.
I do not frequent this forum, so your answers may go unanswered.

Does anyone know when the TTT will be held? How can we register to attend?

Hi,

I just joined this group and was wondering if CompTia offers any discounted vouchers for Instructors. I need one to write Linux + XK0-004 Exam.

Thanks

First of all, the hope is 2021 will be better for all of us. Having spent the California imposed 180-day mandatory 180-day post-retirement sabbatical, I am returning to the classroom for the Spring semester, teaching a CySA+ class for one of our community colleges. The challenge for this course is it is being taught online, and content must be ADA compliant (that includes videos). To lessen the workload, I've championed an effort to attract faculty from other colleges to "share" the workload as it relates to content development. There are currently three of us working on this effort. We are all using the Chapple textbook. A key to this choice is our students have access to LinkedIn learning, allowing the use of author-created videos that are ADA compliant.

If any of you are teaching this course for the Spring semester and want to join us in this effort, let me know (email: [email protected]). Creatively my hope is we can spread the workload.

Wow, with just $$ I can double my A+, Network+, and Security+ related certifications.

I provide this information with two questions in mind:

Does this action by the ETA increase or decrease the value of these CompTIA certifications?

Does this action by the ETA decrease the value of certifications in general?

Thoughts?

Another useful holiday gift for my fellow instructors. The following link useful since it provides for 2-days of free training and those completing the "VIRTUAL: Microsoft Azure Virtual Training Day: Fundamentals" course can take the Azure Fundamentals certification exam at no cost.

Salvation Academy has a branch in Freetown, Sierra Leone, West Africa.
How does remote testing work for schools in Africa? Will appreciate any update.

Time to increase your computer science electronic bookshelf holdings. For Christmas I've arranged for you to get a library of Kindle ebooks. Order the ebooks quickly as I'm not sure how long they will be available for free.

Has anyone produced flashcards for ITF+ and wouldn't mind sharing? We have some but are looking to add more to the Cyberprep Curriculum.
