    Started studying for Linux+

    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...

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

    Is a new A+ Cert needed to train?

    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...

That may prove true with open book tests too. You have to know your stuff before you walk in there. Too much...

    Will "open book" mean you can carry books into the test center, or will you have access to a few websites where you can verify answers?

    Preview of the new Security+ SY 701

    I'd say we need a Timeline. X will be available in 2023Q4. Y will be available in 2024Q1. Z will be available in 2024Q2. Presenters were rather vague at the Partner Conference earlier this month. Understandably so. I think I speak for all public speakers when I say it is difficult to answer...

    Comptia Certified Instructor

    I believe CompTIA is sunsetting their certified trainer program and certification. If you need to build training/public speaking credibility, I suggest creating some five minute videos and putting them on YouTube. I suggest one of these three topics: 1. How DHCP works. 2. How DNS works. 3...
