    Unused servers

    The one thing about servers is that, if properly maintained, they just keep going and going and going. I still have some Dell PowerEdge T410s that still hold up our on-prem infrastructure, which we'll retire before too too long, although one might say they've been in operation for too, too...

    Wondering what type of organization you work for as a trainer

    Career College/Tech school, traditional college, and a scant amount of consulting/freelance training and a scanter amount of DoD internal training.

    New voucher pricing is per-version?

    Well, CompTIA would raise prices on things each year, so that's not unusual. Odd about version pricing, but maybe if that's the case, the version and voucher will follow each other.

    Certmaster Lab and Learn Integrations

    So, CompTIA has some information on integrating CML/L 2023 and prior into Canvas with LTI 1.3. CM products 2024 and forward also have some extensive integration over LTI 1.3 as well, you can find that here. The 2023 and prior versions, as I recall, would also have some kind of dashboard that...

    To everyone taking Security+, CySA+, PenTest+, and SecurityX

    In one of the most extreme ways, when I was working Missile Defense, deployment of updated systems was VERY slow - working on systems that are 20+ years old is very common - because you can get predictability down to the wire level. In other words, O&M would know every signal, every voltage...

    Comptia Academy Student discounts

    Actually, I would probably recommend that you reach out to your Business Development Manager. They'll probably have the most current numbers.

    Seeking input on hiring CompTIA Instructors

    I was looking at the median average for training houses and colleges. And yes, the going college rate is somewhere between 20-25/hr, even if you're going in as Adjunct (which to me is the same). They do get it, though, as there are always someone out there that will take it or nothing at all.

    Seeking input on hiring CompTIA Instructors

    Well, You're not somewhere where the cost of living is ridiculously exorbitant, say, Southern California? IT in general is underpaid, in my estimation - particularly for those that bothered to get their Network+ before doing Security+ (lol)

    To everyone taking Security+, CySA+, PenTest+, and SecurityX

    There are so many people that just want the "quick and easy pathway" to Security+ and higher and find learning basic networking, computer skills, or the like to just be a hinderance. But, so many people just want to go cyber/be cyber and so on, to the point where they leap over basic skills...

    Seeking input on hiring CompTIA Instructors

    Are you saying $55-$60/hr is a low pay rate? Maybe I'm misinterpreting, but the average US pay for a contract CompTIA instructor is somewhere in the $30-45/hr range, so that rate would actually be pretty good. Unless I'm missing something - which is entirely possible.

    Eligibility for CloudNetX voucher exam

    Not likely, mate. The final deadline, I think, just passed. Usually takes about 6-8 weeks to process the attendee list from On24 and do up the order. I'd probably keep an eye open in June/July. /r

    SpiceWorks - No longer "Free Forever"

    Hello CIN'ers (and particularly those who are SpiceHeads) - Not sure if you heard the news, but it would seem that SpiceWorks' pledge to be forever free has gone the way of the dodo. Those of us who have been using the SpiceWorks cloud helpdesk for years, asking for Entra ID and better methods...

    Creating a Exam Study Group

    There was an old book that I got when I was at UPhoenix called "Tools for Teams" which talked about the idea of Learning Teams. The general idea is that they would be student study groups, but would be mentored by an instructor. I think whenever they were promoted and 'believed in', they...
