    CEU's for Network+

    If you look on the Proof of Participation, you'll see the number of CEUs and which exams they will credit.

    Do You Report Cheating?

    On that, we agree. I've mentioned a story before where a colleague was talking smack because he had the CASP+ and I didn't. Well, eventually, I worked up and got there. He had to retake his and...well...he didn't do so well. Then I found out he was another braindump chump - where I busted...

    Do You Report Cheating?

    This happened at our college as well. My daughter was handed a DVD with a bunch of VCE files on it. She asked me about it - I told her to shred the thing and summarily put a stop to the practice. I'm know people out there still rely on VCEs to cheat the system. Part of the problem within...

    Need some assistance and Help with A+ Pace

    That's the only way I can see getting that done. 100% didactic - death by powerpoint. You won't find it there - those kinds of things will be in the original curriculum offering for instructors. The CIN resources would just be things that instructors would share with one another (hints...

    How do I acquire a CySA+ Instructor manual

    The videos are linked there, but the learning content is only available during the TTT, not after. OP can check if he'd like, under the blue paperclip icon, but the content is generally only available during the seminar.

    Do You Report Cheating?

    I've told this story a few times regarding 'braindump chumps'. We had an instructor who was teaching for us once who was teaching connectorizing RJ-45/Cat5e cables. A relatively simple task for someone with A+ and Net+ training and certs - which, this person had (which we found later, he was...

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

    The one thing that comes to mind is installing RAM onto a motherboard. How do you simulate the gentle yet firm downward pressure you need to place on the DIMM so you don't damage it or the motherboard, not to mention the ever-satisfying 'click' when DIMM seats and the retaining clips lock into...

    Good luck with that. I don't see how that works effectively.

    Need Help Accessing Network+ Instructor Resources

    So, the CIN does not have "Instructor Resource Kits" for instructors. We don't provide slides that you can use in your classroom, nor materials that you can take back and put in your learning environment. What we find in the resource area are Train the Trainer slides (if you hit the resource...

    Do You Report Cheating?

    Now, the ONLY time I could EVER think of using a braindump for ANYTHING would be in the form of a lab manual - that is, take the question as written, toss out the answers, and model it up in a bench situation. At that point, it's a experiential lab. But, using the question from the exam, as...

    Regarding CompTIA CTT+

    To add, CompTIA never has seemed to want to tell a training house/school, etc, who would be an instructor. For as long as I've been in education, I've never seen a huge push on CTT+ certified instructors in any training situation. Others' mileage may vary, but in my experience, it's never truly...

    5380 mins instructional time.

    That, to me, seems much more plausible, even though it put up 9 hours per day and aligns historically with how A+ is taught.

    Do You Report Cheating?

    I do think that CompTIA cares a great deal about exam integrity - I think we all do. And I personally have had my own run-in's with the braindump chumps and the companies that peddle them (I won't mention them by name in this forum). But yes, the VCE files that we see out there on the...
