Done with the survey. Only one question mentioned Taylor Swift. Hmmm.

Validating work experience is a tall order. Those of us who are self-employed can generate whatever title and work experience/duration we choose. CompTIA should stick with candidate honesty. Also, the underwriting process can become so aggressive that candidates take their $$ elsewhere.

Seeing that the CTT is sunsetting this year, hiring managers will not view it as criteria when making the hiring decision. We're better off making 3-minute YouTube videos on cybersecurity concepts. May I suggest a) CIA triad, b) digital signatures and c) Nmap.

Who is the entity asking for a 6 digit number? This may be the right answer to the wrong question, but...you can get your COMPTIA ID after successfully logging in at https://login.comptia.org/. You can also find it on a printed exam certificate. Mine starts with COMP then has 12 digits.

What are the class runtimes and dates? Are you running on CertMaster?

Where is the demand for CASP+? While I realize it is the most advanced exam, I do not see many instructors discussing presenting the curriculum here. What am I missing?

During CertMaster Session 2 today, I said I would post my HASH video here. The file is too big. Download from my OneDrive at https://1drv.ms/u/s!AjHHnHZd4hCAiY04K21GTRiWVVRWYQ?e=IIfWOd.

Someone to do a compare and contrast between Testout and CertMaster. They can grab some sample topics like: 1. The CIA triad 2. Wireshark 3. Public and private keys.

Looks like TestOut Monday and Wednesday. CertMaster Tuesday and Thursday.

I ask "What is your compelling WHY in taking this class?" Students need some time to digest the question and then issue a response. Patience is a virtue on this one.

What training materials do you use in addition to the instructor's lectures and slideshows?

I did similar math after passing the PenTest+ exam. I've read intellectual explanations of why the scale is different. People still comprehend percentages. I agree with you Marcio. CompTIA needs to change the scale.

Are you sharing your CompTIA–provided slideshow with students? These are the PowerPoint slides that most of us tweak for our presentations. This would be for a Security+ class delivered via Zoom, with recordings available after the class. Your thoughts?

Cybersecurity trainer and consultant in Northern California. Delivering Security+ to international audiences.

Create a Linux virtual machine. Even if you're running Windows, you can run Hyper-V or another hypervisor. Download a Linux virtual machine into your hypervisor. Set up snapshots. Intentionally break Linux and then restore from a snapshot. Although I may be sounding like a smart ass here, I am...

Putting the QR codes in the presentation was a fantastic idea.

Someone should take one sample topic, like how to analyze Nmap results, and show how both CertMaster and the TestOut engine present those topics.

Hi Alan, what qualifications are you seeking?

Another factor is...can the teacher present the content in a form the students can digest? I've seen some teachers both in person and online who speak so fast they lose students. The students report the instructor was talking over their heads or talking too fast to be understood. Just another...
