    Operating Systems in Module 11

    I agree. This would actually be a good topic to discuss during the TTT sessions - How to properly utilize the "supplemental resources" co'z as you stated, the resources should have been part of the main material, not just as supplemental.

    Now Available: PDF of A+ Core 1 and Core 2 CertMaster Perform V15

    Thanks for the info. The learning materials were previously named as "accessibility document". It is good that they have now named it as "course PDF" instead. A few months ago (after the purchase of CompTIA), there had even been queries if the learning resources would be sold separately. I'm...

    Operating Systems in Module 11

    I understand your point. It would have been good to have 11.3 as a separate Module. However, I reckon that they placed 11.3 Types of OS under "Managing Support" so that the students would know the various OS that they may need to support, along with the (11.3.6) OS compatibility issues...

    Have you EVER heard of or used the tac command?

    I've never used the tac command. I know it, just never used it. The common commands I use for viewing the contents of a file are cat, less, more, head, tail, nano and vim. All of the commands I've mentioned are in the exam objectives for Linux+. I'm not sure about tac. grep is a command that...

    Linux+ Train the Trainer session 2025-09-09

    For me, the choice of hypervisor depends on the cohort: If the student is new to virtualization, I prefer to use Oracle VirtualBox If the cohorts are professionals: Hyper-V if the client is using Microsoft-based products, or KVM if they are into Linux I've used VMware workstation and/or...

    Need some assistance and Help with A+ Pace

    5 hours per day x 9 days? o_O Your client might need to see the content themselves. In any case, I suggest that you refer to platform.comptia.org, then change the course pacing guide You may be able to deliver the course, sure. But you might need to skip the labs altogether, and focus only on...

    Tools and learning platform suggestions.

    On my end, we only use the official CompTIA learning content. It has the text, videos, labs, quizzes, and PBQs.

    A+ Core 1 and Core 2 CertMaster Learn Custom Quiz Question Issues

    Yeah, same here. I feel that since CompTIA and TestOut merged, someone had been failing in proofreading the questions. Either that the options are incorrect, or that the answers are just wrong. It is not limited to A+. This goes across many courses. It is also seen on end-of-lab questions and...

    Recommendations for an enhanced learning environment in the online A+ and Security+ courses

    I personally find it challenging to teach A+ Core 1 online, due to the constraints of not being able to do actual / hands-on demonstrations. Like, how can you teach "how to install a RAM or a CPU?" True, there's simulated lab now, but it is still different when you do it in actual. A+ Core2 is...

    Do You Report Cheating?

    There's not much we can do about brain dumps, apart from reporting the site. As for the student and their proctor, this could've been captured in the camera. To my understanding, all proctored exams in a Pearson test centre is equipped with a camera. Unless, if the exam is taken on a secured...

    Regarding latest pentest+ course

    For personal study, yeah sure. For classroom delivery, maybe not; especially if you intend to deliver it in a short time frame. There are 10 modules: Module 3 - 4 labs Module 4 - 6 labs Module 5 - 3 labs Module 6 - 7 labs Module 7 - 14 labs Module 8 - 1 lab Module 9 - 9 labs

    Regarding Security+ Labs

    Depending on the amount of time for training, you may not be able to do all labs. So, choose wisely. :)
