CEUs from Teaching
See https://www.comptia.org/continuing-education/submit I'd suggest submitting the most advanced course that you teach. I submit my CySA+ time at CompTIA. I've also successfully submitted CASP+ and CISSP 1::1 training hours and mentoring at ISC2. The key to 1::1 and mentoring CEUs is...- BrianFord

CEUs from Teaching
I suggest that you have, at minimum, the dates you taught and the name and point of contact (email) for the organization that sponsored or offered the class. I try to submit a syllabus or course agenda slide as an upload.- BrianFord

Exam Proctoring
Which exam are you referring to, Jeff? I believe that you are allowed to proctor the Tech+ exam as an instructor. According to the rules laid out by CompTIA and Pearson, instructors for any other course are not allowed to proctor exams.- BrianFord

Issues with Security+ and CySA+ Labs
For CertMaster Labs I suggest opening another one of the labs and in the Help tab on the right side of the screen selecting 'Open a Case'. From there you can open a case with support and ask them to reset that lab environment. In the past they typically got that done within 24 hours.- BrianFord

How can i find my Account Manager!
This is the CompTIA Instructor Network (CIN). I'm sorry that CompTIA has been unresponsive and you can't contact your account manager. I'm sorry about that. However, it's not appropriate to leave multiple messages in this instructor forum looking for your account manager.- BrianFord

Tech Differences Between Net+ and Sec+ Objectives and Content
Hey there, fellow Instructors. A couple of notes if you are teaching Network+ and Security+. I noted that some topics are covered in both, but the coverage between the objectives, the course content, and the possible exam questions may differ. (1) How DNS works and how DNS is secured...- BrianFord

Do I have to Create my own Presentations
The slides provide a good starting point, but you can augment them with, or make, your own slides as needed. Very, very true. Great point Moez!- BrianFord

DeepSeek
Timely post, Greg! I don't know if I agree with Moez that any nation-state is ahead or behind another in terms of technology development. While a lot of development may happen in the US, there are folks of all different nationalities on those teams. I'll also point out that standards...- BrianFord

Train the trainer.
The process behind TTT events is that they follow the course introduction or update webinar and try to be completed before the release.

Printed courseware is gone, but what about the PDFs?
As someone who taught/may still teach in Community colleges and universities, I'll just mention that textbooks here in the US are now regularly going for $200-300. Those are required readings and are updated maybe every five years. The community college that I'm associated with uses widely...- BrianFord

Am I overthinking the new Pentest+ 003?
Sean, I don't believe you're overthinking this. I'm writing this as I participate in the Pentest-3 TTT. I took away from the first TTT session that being able to write scripts and scripting is required. Nick Peirce, who's presenting the TT, said as much but, more importantly, demonstrated it...- BrianFord

How would you filter TikTok?
Instructors, One of my students asked me yesterday via chat to explain how TikTok could be filtered out of US Internet traffic.

Can't update my About info so I'll put this here....
My assessment is that Medium is seeking to be an electronic content publisher in the same way that many book publishers are. They are looking for original content that doesn't appear elsewhere. As I understand it, if many people read my Medium content, they will compensate me based on the... -
