    CIN TTT Essentials Series: CompTIA AI Essentials & AI Prompting

    Question for you- I know this may seem like a simple question, but I think one day, I showed up about 20 minutes late, so I would need to make it up.... but I'm not sure. Do you know where we can check to see if we hit the requirements needed for the certificate of attendance? It was a great...

    Pacing Course Excel Doc for Net+, Sec+?

    He provided! I have a meeting with the bootcamp next week, so this will help greatly. Then, I'll get them in touch with the rep, and we can plan the 2026 schedule with CertMaster Perform. Thanks!

    Pacing Course Excel Doc for Net+, Sec+?

    Thanks. I know what the clients have for time, and based on what CompTIA recommends for the amount of time available, then that's what we'll go with. The pacing is just an excel document where you plug in how much time you want to take, and then the excel document will give you an idea of what...

    Pacing Course Excel Doc for Net+, Sec+?

    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.

    Pacing Course Excel Doc for Net+, Sec+?

    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...

    Pacing Course Excel Doc for Net+, Sec+?

    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...

    What Machine Learning Libraries Are You Betting On in 2025?

    This is CompTIA. Can you give an overview of what you feel is relevant to what we're doing so we can better respond to your question?

    Security+ Unusual Request from Contractor

    Hello, There's a company that reached out to me that was interested in hiring me to teach Security+ as a subcontractor for them when they are able to obtain contracts. I have no problem with that. Today, they contacted me and said they may are negotiating for a client in Costa Rica, and they...

    A+ 12 series TTT

    Hi- while on the subject of the TTT.... I just registered for the A+ Certmaster today. I'm just confirming that I have 120 days from today to run through the labs for 1201/1202? Thanks!

    Recommended time to teach Network+

    I'm pretty sure they just want the content taught so they can reskill and get the credit towards continuing education. They want four days, and I think that's pretty short. I would be like motor mouth and just ask people to keep the questions strictly to the material to keep it moving. It's...

    Recommended time to teach Network+

    I'm pretty sure your CompTIA business rep would have to get you those materials. I can't remember exactly how, but I think someone here can fill in the gap of who that representative is.

    Recommended time to teach Network+

    Thanks. Does it leave much time for questions, or just blaze through all this material? I'm used to 10 days per CompTIA course. They're recommending 4 days.

    Common Exam Pitfalls and How to Overcome Them

    I like all this. One thing I'll add in is that I want students to answer that question they're flagging. I tell them to go with their first gut feeling, flag it, and then come back to it at the end of the exam. I say this for two reasons: 1) If they run out of time because they loop back to...

    Recommended time to teach Network+

    Hi everyone, I'm being asked to possibly teach a Net+ course as a reskill for a group of employees. What's the recommended time for the training in a 9-5 setting? Thanks!
