    Adaptive exams?

    I remember when I took my first Microsoft training classes in 2001 I was told that the exams had been adaptive, but they did away with that pretty quickly. I remember that when they first tried to do the interactive exams (with hands-on simulation questions) they discussed with us the...

    How to create a new account?

    I don't know about now, but I know that a week or two ago they were having terrible issues. First it told me my password was wrong, then my account was locked and to contact my administrator, and then I just did not have an account... and then it was all working as if nothing happened. Good luck...

    How to create a new account?

    I am a very new member, and I know that it took me several tries to get it right. I cannot tell you how I finally did it, but if you first direct them to cin.comptia.org, they will see at the top of the page a link to Register. Have them create their account. Once they have done that, on that...

    Thanks Stephen. That's great! I am outside of Toronto, Canada.

    Courseware

    Thanks Rick. I am not... I am an individual who contracts to several different training providers. However, some of them are, so before I run out to spend my money I will ask them for the discounts :) (After all, every new course I learn and pass is another course I can deliver for them...)

    Courseware

    ...or I could realize I am in the middle of delivering the course for a training vendor and have them purchase it. Sometimes I am just so daft! :)

    Courseware

    Hey folks! While I have been teaching CompTIA for a couple of years, I just joined the CIN recently. Until now I have never thought about trying to purchase my own resources because the training companies I teach for always provided them. Now that I see my Security+ books are expired, I am...

    LOL! I have watched it beginning to end at least 7-8 times, but probably more than that. The original reason I got satellite TV back in 2000 was so that when I was working or otherwise then I would be able to catch the west coast feed. My (then) wife and son bought me the DVD box set in 2007...

    It seems like you are also quite familiar with my favourite TV show!! :)

    A+ Core 1 and Core 2

    HOLY COW! I have been wrong about this all these years? (not to mention that MOST resources on the Internet, as well as previous iterations of this class AND others have been wrong too!) After your response, I went to the source. the IANA. I was always of the mind that 172.16.x.0 (classful) was...

    The deck is 220-1101-05, Slide 19. It reads:

    A+ Core 1 and Core 2

    The list of non-routable IP ranges (both the Network ID and the Mask) were completely wrong... and different from every other CompTIA slide I've ever seen (which I know to be correct).

    Thanks! I created a ticket. We'll see if they respond, but I have done what I can, and corrected the slides for myself.

    Just so you know Steve, Microsoft Learn (or whatever they are calling themselves today) is waiving the fee for the foreseeable future.

    I am teaching this class and discovered a glaring mistake in the slides. Who can I report this to?

    I never earned it because I have been a Microsoft Certified Trainer for 17 years, and that was always enough for me. Now that I am teaching more CompTIA classes I started looking into it late last year, only to discover that it is being retired. I suppose that means I will have to maintain my...
