Pacing Course Excel Doc for Net+, Sec+?

[dlross]

Hi everyone,

I'm teaching A+ right now, so I have access to the Excel doc through the Resources to see the different ways I can set up how we teach the class and the time frame we'd like to work with. Another bootcamp hired me and wants me to suggest some schedules for them. I don't have access to the Net+ and SEc+. Is there a means to get the Excel doc for those other two certifications?

Thanks!

Those documents are available when you purchase (or the learning org purchases for you) the Instructor material. Without that it would be a violation for anyone to share it with you.

As an aside, I used to be afraid to ask the training orgs that hired me for the Instructor Material. Coming from a Microsoft background, as a MCT I always had access. I learned that when you ask for it, they are usually very quick to assign it to you... but they won't assign it automatically because there is a cost to it, and that is wasted if you as an instructor already have it. ASK

That is odd.

I am being hired by a bootcamp company that I convinced to purchase CertMaster.... except that they want to know realistically, what should be the timeline for teaching A+/Net+/Sec+. Without having that pacing plan, I can't convince them that the timeline they want to use would be realistic with CertMaster. They also are thinking about just building out the materials to match their pacing. I'd love to give them some realistic timelines, but it's just impossible to do for CertMaster Perform when there's no realistic schedules that I can show to match what they want. But I can certainly take their timeline and just build out the materials myself from scratch to match what they have.

Why do I have to buy the materials for a simple excel document that gives guidance on how their pacing would match what they have in mind for their timelines? They aren't asking for the materials- just the excel. So it kind of doesn't make sense. But ok. I'll kind of guessimate it out and I guess they'll decide if they want to go with CertMaster, or if they just want me to build it out. It's a win-win either way for me, since I'll be teaching it, no matter what they choose. I have the Instructor materials for all these certs. What I don't have is an idea of how to counsel them on if using CertMaster Perform, they'll meet their timelines. They have state contracts. They can't afford to fail.

I really do empathize; I understand your frustrations, and while I know the documents are available (I just checked Security+), I also know that we as instructors are not allowed to share CompTIA's intellectual property with others. With that said, if you were to look for a CompTIA support email I am sure they would be willing to share it... THEY can do it without getting into legal binds, but we cannot. Good luck!

Thanks- I shot my CompTIA rep an email this morning asking for ONLY the excel documents. Hopefully, they provide it. I'd rather not have to build out the entire Net+/Sec+ learning material. I think that would kill me. Lol.

Here is hoping and praying to whoever you pray to that you don't die over Net+/Sec+ Please let us know if your rep does provide
