Jzol. Great point about the accessibility document. As I understand it and use it, that document is advice from CompTIA based on the licensed course materials. It should not replace any policies that the organization or department you are teaching for has put in place. It provides instructors...

As far as reporting to his employer, that's why CompTIA has lawyers. I believe it's a clear copyright violation.

This is a question best addressed to and answered by your employer. I am required to hold the latest certifications for all the courses I teach because I'm a CompTIA employee. If you work for a CompTIA Authorized Training Partner, you need to talk to your employer, who will then contact their...

I wanted to give you all a heads-up. A person using the username kiranjadhav010407 has posted all the CompTIA-branded (still copyrighted) Security+ SY0-601 materials on LinkedIn. I reported it and asked that it be taken down, but there were over 350 comments: a mix of copyright warnings and...

Seang, We just had a national holiday here in the US, our 250th Independence Day celebration on July 4th, so it may take a little longer than normal to get back to you.

Welcome Stonecipher! I'm a CompTIA Instructor. The new CertMaster products incorporate TestOut technologies and support both competency and certification learning paths. If you send me an email from your school account at [email protected], I can try to connect you with your representative.

I managed a training and testing center years ago. I cross-trained our receptionists and admin staff to operate the testing center. It actually worked out really well. Staff worked 4 hours overlapping shifts 5 days a week, and we were often able to offer exams from 10 AM to 2 PM on Saturdays...

Based on the draft exam objectives, I predict SY0-801 will be harder. I noticed several adds (AI) and refinements (some GRC topics have moved to Operations) but few deletes (deprecated protocols). Add to that the trend towards scenario-based questions in all CompTIA exams, and it will be...

Congratulations!

And just think, sometime later this year you'll be able to sit for the new SY0-801 exam!

Shea is sooo right here. Before picking up a new certification, you should consider how and when you'll need to recertify to maintain it.

Or AWS stuff if you really want to work in the cloud!

S Shea, You raised many important points, and I applaud you for offering great ideas to address this problem. That said, these folks have been skulking around the Internet in various forums for as long as there has been an Internet. Many of your ideas could be addressed by Pearson VUE. I've...

That information is usually printed on your score report. I work with those from my students all the time. The information on the score report is invaluable in helping students understand what they don't understand because it helps instructors understand what the student didn't understand.

OK CINers. I'll confess. I build and distribute flashcards to my students. I've been using Quizlet for years. In 1-on-1 engagements, it has always worked well. It's always handy to have a flashcard deck available for small-group training so students can interact, compete, and demonstrate what...
