I'm currently participating in the train-the-trainer sessions for the N10-009 certification series as a new IT freelance trainer. I'm excited to learn and prepare for delivering quality sessions next month. Will there be access to the CompTIA instructor guide for N10-009 during these sessions?

Your insights and expertise from the train-the-trainer series would be greatly appreciated! Thanks a ton for your help.

OK! Our next session of The Pulse is coming up on Thursday July 25th. It’s time to get past the FUD and take a data-driven look at what AI is doing for us, to us, and with us. Join CompTIA’s Chief Technology Evangelist, Dr. James Stanger, to learn about research CompTIA has completed about recent AI trends. He will discuss the impact of current AI usage, and the myriad meanings of the term, “AI.” Are in an era of Copilot co-dependence, or are we in an era of AI enhanced, hyper-human creativity and interaction? James will also discuss case studies of how AI may be affecting job roles and work flows.

AI now creates the music we hear and the things we see. We’ve seen what happens when we drop tech and automation into a problematic culture. What happens when drop AI into the mix? Will it create chaos or cultural guardrails? Join James to learn more about the impacts of our current and future use of AI.

Hi,
Now the CompTIa and Testout have merged, Are both websites becoming one? If not then how do I determine when to use Testout or CompTIA CertMaster?

THanks

Hi,
Is there an option in https://learn.comptia.org/ to find out if a student has passed an exam? Also, I have had a couple of participants who start the course and drop out. Are we suppose to unenrolled them from the roster or leave them until the course expires?

Looking for someone who can start out with training A+, Network+, Security+, Cloud+, CySA+, PenTest+ but eventually become the IT program director in charge of the following:

Responsibilities:

- Develop and implement assessment methods to evaluate student progress and program effectiveness.

4. Budget and Resource Management

- Address and resolve any stakeholder concerns.

6. Student Engagement and Support

- Provide support and resources to help students succeed in their courses.
- Oversee job placement services and build relationships with potential employers.

7. Risk Management

- Ensure compliance with relevant regulations and accreditation standards.

8. Performance Monitoring and Reporting:

- Proven experience in program management, preferably in an educational setting.
- Strong leadership and team management skills.
- Excellent communication and interpersonal abilities.
- Budget management experience.
- Knowledge of current IT industry trends and certifications.

Desired Skills

- Project management certification (e.g., PMP) is a plus.
- Experience with curriculum design and instructional technology - We can adapt whichever platform you are comfortable with
- Ability to work effectively in a fast-paced and dynamic environment.

I have been in the IT field for over 20 years and in different industries. I hold a Network+ cert, as well as a few Microsoft certifications, including an Microsoft Certified Trainer. I've held training in-house for colleagues and sometimes short tips and tricks. I've always wanted to be an instructor in IT and now that I have my MCT I would like to begin part time. So aside from having my certifications, I would love the opportunity to instruct a class such as Network+ or A+, or any other Comptia course that I can easily get certified in.

What the absolute blazes is going on with Pearson Vue this month?

Two or three weeks ago they had a big service disruption which affected both OnVue and testing center exams. Everybody was getting kicked out of their exams.

And now on Reddit and Discord there's numerous mentions of waiting lines 100+ people deep, with test-takers waiting 1-3 hours before even starting their exams.

There's something really bad going on with PearsonVue and it reflects badly on CompTIA.

Someone needs to step up and provide proper communication and guidance.

Message me for more information. We are gearing up for when these courses are approved through FLDOE. Fall time frame. Thanks!

With the TTT being run, the new Network+ will be available soon. However, I found some conflicting information on the CompTIA website and wanted to report it.

The Network+ page shows that the new version of the exam went live on June 20, 2024.


The page advertising for upcoming SME workshops shows a Network+ Exam Item Writing Workshop July 22-26, 2024.


Why would they schedule a Network+ Exam Item Writing Workshop for Network+ after the new exam version has gone live?

@Stephen Schneiter can you provide some clarity on this issue?

The instructions for the CASP+ lab "Assisted Lab: Configure Monitoring in the AWS Cloud" are no longer correct.
The instructions in the section "Use Cloudwatch Events to Alert on Changes" do not match the AWS UI.
The lab instructions need to be updated.
I filed a support request with Skillable, however I don't know when or if this will be fixed, so I thought I should warn other instructors.

[Edited on 1 July 2024 to remove "Cloudwatch has been replaced by Event Bridge"]

I am wanting to do something for my students where I can display and celebrate their certification accomplishments. Just not sure what to do. Does anyone display your students cert achievements on campus?

Check your Score Reports!

Anyknow know how I can get in on the CloudNetX beta exam? I haven't seen anything about it, nor heard how invites will be given.

Hello,

I am using the following link to access the PenTest+ PT0-002 TTT series:
https://gateway.on24.com/wcc/eh/1119137/category/100352/pentest-pt0-002-ttt

However, when I clicked on the link for session 4, it directed me to session 3 instead. Could you please fix this issue?

Thanks,
Sukanya

Hi everyone,

I was in the process of signing up, and I wanted to figure out how much time I have to access the new materials given to us for access to the Network+ 009 materials from our TTT series. Is it 3 months from the day of our sign up, or 3 months from the first day of the start of the Network+ TTT series?

Thanks!

DL Ross
