    Boot Camps

    My organization does some "boot camps" and we take a similar approach. The exam is NOT on the last day. Depending on the client, we recommend spreading things over a couple of weeks. So, week 1 is the lecture "boot camp", week 2 is finishing materials like CertMaster Learn and Labs, week 3 may...

    Instructor Courseware

    Work with who you are teaching for, or your CompTIA business development manager. They are the ones who would provide access.

    To validate that I am an official CompTIA instructor, do I need to have the CTT+ or is there another new related certification?

    I work for a commercial training organization. We require instructors to have taken, and passed, the certification they are teaching. We prefer them to have taken the version of the exam they are teaching AND have the next certification upwards if that cert lies in a path. For example, for...

    Instructor needed to teach Networking and Cybersecurity

    I am fully committed, but I grew up in Bryan! Glad to see CompTIA offerings in NW Ohio.

    Tech+ FC0-U71

    I teach ITF+ every 3-4 months and am looking to move to Tech+ as soon as it is available.

    When to switch to teaching new exam revision?

    Gotcha! Then doing the 601 wouldn't be so bad. Plenty out there to study from.

    When to switch to teaching new exam revision?

    Because of the materials, you don't really have a choice. If the 701 materials were available, I'd definitely do those. Do you know for sure they will be taking their exams before July?

    CompTIA 2024 Partner Pricing

    I know they are going up. I don't remember the latest %. I think our business development manager told us late fall it was be 2% or 3% like @Rick Butler mentioned. Happens every year. We had to factor it into an RFP we were writing at the time so had checked with our business development...

    Anyone else encountering 701 PPT missing information

    I beg to differ. They follow exactly the same order of the student guide and instructor guides. Same pictures/figures and everything. Just lacking in what they are presenting. They are a good starting point to add more to. I go through the instructor guide with the slides and add more information.

    Seemingly unauthorized resellers: how do they do it?

    I work for a commercial training provider, and we are an authorized partner. We have a hard time competing in the market because of low cost vouchers. We have to set a certain price for classes to include the voucher. We don't sell enough CompTIA training to be a platinum partner to get the...

    Anyone else encountering 701 PPT missing information

    I think the newer PowerPoints are lacking. They don't have nearly the information that previous versions did. I found this with the A+ slides too. I went through and "beefed" them up myself before class.

    Switching student access to CompTIA Learn, Labs, etc

    I don't think that is the way it is intended or as the terms and conditions apply and state. I had a demo last week from Test Out and asked about if materials could be reassigned to someone else if they were unused - I was told no.

    Switching student access to CompTIA Learn, Labs, etc

    That's a big no. Not transferable. We have students who withdraw before even accessing their materials. There is no way to transfer them to someone else.

    Share slides with students

    I highly tweak the slides, but they start out as the ones from CompTIA. We use the CertMaster Learn plus Labs materials so they follow right along with their assignments. I provide a PDF version, not the actual PPTX versions. I make sure to add on the first slide that they were edited by me so...
