Hi Rick, I will follow up my faculty manager, just seems foolish to do an online on demand class that gives you no credits to get the voucher, `what are the rules?' Who establishes the rules?
Thanks
Doug
Well, the rules for Train the Trainer are managed by CompTIA, itself. The voucher, as I can tell, are an incentive to have instructors participate in the Train the Trainer series, live. After that, there's no real benefit to CompTIA so I can definitely see not continuing to issue vouchers for just anyone who watches the sessions on-demand.
I don't think it's foolish to do the sessions, after the fact. If they help the person who watches them, then it's useful. I find the networking aspect with other instructors far more valuable than getting a voucher, and would (and do participate) even if there were no freebees at all.
I have commented unapologetically about doing TTT's just to get the free voucher. But if that's the only value people realize in doing TTT's is to get something for free, then I would submit that a voucher for active, live participation is an equivalent exchange.
As for the on-demand class offering "no credit", well, each session is generally 2 CEUs, which represent an hour of activity. Various organizations interpret CEUs in their own way, so their policies would come to bear.
If you have another view, I'd recommend posting them here in the Community. From there, the decision makers at CompTIA will see it and decide if they have merit.
