    Powerpoint

    First, this site is a forum that allows instructors to connect. It provides a community where we can get together and talk about - well, just about anything. We have conversations about teaching in the classroom, finding ways to connect curriculum to the learner, trends in the certification...

    AI Essentials by CompTIA

    Well, that's what we've often said here in CIN: Objectives + Google = Study Guide

    To get voucher exam Linux+

    No sir. I'm afraid you have two weeks after the end of the TTT series to complete any sessions that you may have missed. /r

    Passed It!

    I think a lot of people who are well prepared for an exam often stress that they haven't prepared enough, going in. Good job, and congrats on your win!

    New Partner Portal & How to Sell Certmaster

    I haven't heard of a new portal or anything - I think the re-org and the like left a lot of unanswered questions about a lot of things. Benefit of the doubt would be that CompTIA is working on all of these things...as they have the manpower and ability... Corporate restructures are replete...

    TTT voucher woes

    Good fix, @precious - since I didn't get a Data+ or Cloud+ voucher, myself, I didn't see what happened. Anyway, good job. @Jill West - Never give up! lol

    TTT voucher woes

    Strange. I think I've only seen that once in my career - In my case, I went back to the BDM since that's where I got the voucher code at that time. They just sent me another. So, yeah... Stephen...

    Courseware Question

    Well, to me, I would probably say they have to get their own licensure for any CompTIA copyrighted products since your access to them would be under the 'another company' s EULA. I would probably bring this up with your Business Development Manager. If they have their own partner status with...

    Academic Pricing

    Might be a good idea, methinks. I don't talk to our BDM that much these days - generally when something breaks.

    Academic Pricing

    Are you logged into the CompTIA store with an account that is tied to your Partner status? For example, if you are an academic partner, you should be using your .EDU account. If it's not working like that, I'd probably reach out to your Business Development Manager and see if something is up...

    Vouchers

    Thanks for clarifying - just that when you type in ALL CAPS, it gives the inference of shouting.

    Vouchers

    I would totally agree with that, although we might also see an uptick in garbage posting - and we don't want to go through all that again.
