Thanks Glenn, Michael, and Lee. As instructors we can all improve our messaging capabilities by removing barriers to learning and professional development.
I'll point out that CTT is a two part certification program. The first part being a proctored exam and the second part being a practical; an assessment of your actually teaching a course. Many training programs require one (exam or practical) or the other. Depending on your circumstances...
In it's time Peter Packet was important. Based on my recent experience interacting with youth seeking CCNA and Security+ I'd say it may be important again now. The reason being that too many students don't have a good (or any?) foundation in math (other than addition and subtraction)...
Russ,
I'm guessing that you studied from the recent Cloud+ TTT materials; the 003 Cloud+ Student and Instructor Guides? Did you use any other resources?

I don't know if others found this earlier but I recently came across the PortSwigger Web Academy. These are the folks that produce Burp Suite, a great tool for testing web application security. I asked one of my more advanced students to take a look at this over a weekend (they had completed...

Rick,
I believe there is a true cybersecurity workforce shortage.
I refer you to CyberSeek.org for quantitative data points based on US geography.
Beyond that there are many people in cybersecurity roles today who have not refreshed or updated their skills in years. They are in some cases...
When I took the CySA+ and saw the PBQs I know I panicked a little. I disregarded my standard practice of going over all questions and coming back to the PBQs and instead spent time at the start on two PBQs. One I felt I knew dead to rights. The other was challenging. Coming out of that exam...
Rick,
Great topic. Thanks for raising it here.
My view is that when I have taught undergraduates in courses with associated certifications the students start the semester planning to take the exam but then lose interest as the weight of the academic calendar progresses over the following weeks...
Thank you to @Liz Wannemacher, Meredith and @Stephen Schneiter for a great overview on Data+. I particularly enjoyed the discussion around the question "Do I need to know math?". It was funny AND informative.
