    Hiring for Casual Trainers

    Casual hours are basically on an as-needed basis. There are no guarantees of hours or timing, a contrast from Part-Time work which has a set schedule, albeit less than the 40 hour US standard. There are no ongoing commitments between employer or employee and the pay is akin to gig-work.

    Passed CySA+

    Well done! That's a great accomplishment. I remember when I passed CySA the first time - I came out of the test room at our school...and into the middle of a major server outage, with everyone trying to find me... Good times. Again, congrats on your win!

    hellow , how to be partener training center

    It's all good. CIN did add a bit more control with the business email thing - which I'm completely fine with. I would say it's more about what they DON'T want, such as fraudsters that just want free vouchers.

    Where do I find the 'on-demand' recordings of my course?

    Snaer: If you use the same On24 links from your email, they will always point to the on-demand recordings as well. Meanwhile, here's the link for CNX-001 Session 1. /r

    CIN is a global community of instructors, program directors, managers, or basically anyone who is involved in helping students learn the CompTIA content. It's not specific to Authorized partners, as there are plenty of individual trainers, content producers, freelancers and so forth, who are...

    Excited about the CompTIA Essentials

    True for playing the lottery. But I think CompTIA sees an opportunity to secure business and profit. They see an opportunity to do business and they, perhaps, see a calculus that we don't see.

    Undoubtedly. Can't win a game if you don't play.

    Pearson Vue Proctoring Issues

    I've heard of a number of issues with OnVUE over the years, to the point where, I, myself, will never take an OnVUE exam; I'll continue to go to a testing center. Just safer that way,, IMAO. Hopefully appealing to their support staff will help.

    Excited about the CompTIA Essentials

    So, my thought on this is that CompTIA's leadership and ownership has decided that profit is more essential than the high-ground it once had by being a non-profit. But again, when you're non-profit, you are always on the edge of financial collapse because you don't/or can't make too much money...

    Excited about the CompTIA Essentials

    So, I finally am getting caught up on things. It's been a wild ride this month as try to keep Anthology from slowly taking over my life. What I see, first of all, is that the Essentials series is not for established IT specialists. This was brought up a few years ago at CompTIA Summit (I want...

    So many red dots...

    Certainly has been. Thanks for the shoutout! Thanks for that. I don't like being too long away from the CIN motley crew.

    So many red dots...

    No, not quite so glamorous. Just buried in the deluge of software rollout issues. First it was a lot of them - now it's fewer, but more complex. Ahh... I was starting to get the itch to start up a degree program myself...but...not sure if the return on investment is there for me... Good luck...

    So many red dots...

    Hey CIN: It seems like more than a minute since I've been about. We've been deploying Anthology Student here at the school, and that has dominated all of my time. I didn't want y'all to think I disappeared or abandoned you or something. And then I come back to a whole long...

    Cloud +003 update?

    So, what I ended up doing was taking the Microsoft MS900 and SC900 exams. This gave me more than enough CEUs to reup on my Cloud+. For me, I think that's a better route, since I have aspirations of getting more certified in Azure. /r

    CIN TTT Series: SecurityX v5

    So, our college has been using a homegrown SQL database (actually, four of them) for our Student Information System - this is the system we use to manage student records for the school. While home grown is nice, it's hard when you don't always have the programming support for it, and when...

    Does siting the SecurityX exam recertifies Cloud+?

    I haven't heard of anything like that - personally, I'd rather go that route - that way, I can go through the refresher training for changes and have the cert at the end. I suspect it's mostly predicated on the Security+ and how the US DoD leans on it very heavily for security certification...

    Does siting the SecurityX exam recertifies Cloud+?

    Okay, let's see if I can clear this up... 1) Sitting the SecurityX exam does not automatically renew the Cloud+ credential. The only exam that you can take that will automatically renew the Cloud+ is the Cloud+. 2) Sitting the SecurityX exam will provide 25 CEUs towards renewal of Cloud+ if...
