    2025 NICE Conference and Expo

    Good luck with your presentation, @Stephen Schneiter! Just a little bit out of range today or I might have made the trip to come up from the Springs. /r

    No Tech+ ID card?

    Heh..usually, whatever I get, I stuff into a binder, put on my shelf, and there it remains. The only card I carry anymore is the first A+ card...which may not be legible anymore. LOL

    CompTIA A+ Subject Matter Experts Needed

    If by SME, we're not referring to those that are part of the CompTIA Subject Matter Expert program, I would agree. But apart from that, as long as the content isn't compromising the content of an exam, I'd say this is a good request for any current instructor. /r

    College course development opportunity - AGMU Online

    I volunteer my friend @samberumen. I'm pretty sure he meets the requirements.

    New cert: SecOT+

    Speak for yourself, mate. I hit the gym three times a week. While I'm not as fast on my feet as I used to be when I was young and running 12 min two milers for the Army, I can still hold my own. Speaking of which, today's a gym day and the pool awaits - a new part of my routine.

    New cert: SecOT+

    I'm a hard floor, tile kinda guy. I wear western boots, so they sound so much nicer when slowly, ominously walking across the room.

    Pshhhaww... C'mon Greg. You're an instructor. Being the last to know is part of the job, mate.

    Good Day Poeple I have a problem of which I hope one of you poeple can help

    I'm going to recommend the Twilight Episode, "One for the Angels" for you Steve. I'll be the guy in the black suit...because, of course I'm the guy in the black suit. Transcender used to be the gold standard. It was said that if you could pass a Transcender exam, proper, you would definitely...

    Xpert Series - DataX and CloudNetX

    See, I could see DataX renewing these two. Meanwhile, not so much here - since CloudNetX is more of an amalgam of cloud and networking. Like a Venn diagram, there's a good amount of material in Cloud+ and Network+ that would not come out in CloudNetX from what I can determine.

    Good Day Poeple I have a problem of which I hope one of you poeple can help

    I used to use CyberVista for a while. Their questions weren't quite certification grade in the years we used them. I would say they are more on par with CompTIA's review questions from Learn and Labs, in terms of difficulty. Good for ramping up, but not so great if trying to evaluate for test...

    Good Day Poeple I have a problem of which I hope one of you poeple can help

    So, it sounds like you're looking for practice testing for these exams, yes? There would seem to be a wide range of practice testing options out there. Is there something you're specifically wanting? Because it would seem that all you might need is something like CertMaster Practice or maybe a...

    Pearsonvue test center? You got one?

    Our college has an on-prem PearsonVUE testing center for testing - not just for our computer programs, but for our AMT medical programs as well. Our test center is not available to the public, meaning you can't schedule through the web for our site - you have to contact our librarian who would...

    Unused servers

    The one thing about servers is that, if properly maintained, they just keep going and going and going. I still have some Dell PowerEdge T410s that still hold up our on-prem infrastructure, which we'll retire before too too long, although one might say they've been in operation for too, too...

    Wondering what type of organization you work for as a trainer

    Career College/Tech school, traditional college, and a scant amount of consulting/freelance training and a scanter amount of DoD internal training.

    New voucher pricing is per-version?

    Well, CompTIA would raise prices on things each year, so that's not unusual. Odd about version pricing, but maybe if that's the case, the version and voucher will follow each other.

    Certmaster Lab and Learn Integrations

    So, CompTIA has some information on integrating CML/L 2023 and prior into Canvas with LTI 1.3. CM products 2024 and forward also have some extensive integration over LTI 1.3 as well, you can find that here. The 2023 and prior versions, as I recall, would also have some kind of dashboard that...

    To everyone taking Security+, CySA+, PenTest+, and SecurityX

    In one of the most extreme ways, when I was working Missile Defense, deployment of updated systems was VERY slow - working on systems that are 20+ years old is very common - because you can get predictability down to the wire level. In other words, O&M would know every signal, every voltage...
