    Has the Official CompTIA Instructor/Student Guide eBook been replaced by CompTIA CertMaster Study?

    That's correct. As CompTIA phases in updates to certifications, their offerings for traditional eBooks are being phased out. Tech+ and Net+ were the first, but with each new release, those offerings will be unavailable for the new certs. If you are in need of a traditional textbook, yet...

    Theory vs. Labs: Which One Do You Never Skip?

    One of the things I've always appreciated about CompTIA's method is the layered approach for certs. A candidate might start with Tech+, before going to A+, to Net+, Sec+ and so on. <soapbox> The problem I have always observed with students is patience. Students don't want to have to, as...

    October is Cybersecurity Awareness Month!

    So the question I've always wondered - there's a ribbon for every focus/awareness month. What color is the ribbon for Cybersecurity Awareness? ;)

    Passed the CompTIA A+ 220-1201 (Core 1) and 220-1202 (Core 2)

    I know that's right. I figure I have to find some quantum scientist out there that can add about 6-8 hours more to a day, just so I can get all my stuff done. Lately, I have to alternate my gym days with my cert study days. It's kinda a good system, but then something else jumps in to derail...

    CompTIA A+ 220-1201 (Core 1) and 220-1202 (Core 2) Exam Prep

    When you ask about "A+ Core1 and Core2 preparation.", are you asking about preparation so that you can take the exam, or so that you can teach it? Remember that the TTT was never designed to replace full instruction for a candidate who is wanting to take the exam for the first time. TTT was...

    CompTIA quiz lockout features

    I'm not sure if it really matters because if a student wanted to look up answers, they could just open up another tab to anywhere on the net - and with AI-this and Skynet-that, well, they might actually have better luck with asking ChatGPT. It might be better to just use the quizzes as a...

    Hard to say - but as of last night, we know that @jasoneckert 's book is due out very soon. /r

    Completed All A+ Core 2 Train the Trainer Webinar Videos

    I hope you enjoyed them! I caught a lot of it, myself. (work demands kept me from doing the entire series...)

    Network+ N10-009 CompTIA certification! Claim your digital badge

    The codes generally last for about six months after issue - I call it motivation not to sit around and wait. ;)

    Remote control of Labs

    I don't think there is a native function for this. You'd have to coordinate a third-party solution, perhaps using Teams or Zoom that allows for a screen share.

    As an additional resource, here's my TTT for the Server+ 005. Give it a watch and see if it helps!

    You'll want to reach out to CompTIA support for those issues.

    You certainly can. When you post these, it's a good idea if it's an online or on-ground engagement. /r

    Network+ Labs : help

    Hey Samar: If it were me doing it, I'd probably get my hands on a lab manual from a publisher like Cengage. Even an older one might be valuable to build your own hands-on lab environment. /r

    CompTIA A+ ITProTV

    I heard something about ITProTV getting shut down shortly after they were acquired by ACI, laying off their people and closing the studios. So, unfortunately, there's nothing to 'take for a spin' now, at least for that. /r

    Question - did you attend these DURING the time that the live seminar was happening, though?
