I think we can all tell stories of the paper-certs that we've encountered in the field. It's frustrating because I know the sweat equity that I put into attaining and keeping my certs - in fact, I go through the material every time I renew, just so I can make sure I remember the things I may...

I don't think we'll see that from CompTIA, given their current trajectory with CertMaster products. And that's okay to me, because it gives the other publishers and authors a great opportunity to put their materials in the hands of learners and instructors. I can think of two, here on CIN...

I can tell you that in my 35 years, I still don't make $200k, and certainly not in 90 days. Probably couldn't do that without doing something very illegal. But to get back to the OP's question, the one thing I put into every lecture is "heart". If students don't have the heart to train, stay...

Locked and loaded. /r

Welcome to the community, Danny! Glad to have you on. As I just said to Andrew, explore the community, jump into some conversations, reply, post, you know the drill. I had thought about exploring the law enforcement side of Cyber - got a couple books on my shelf about criminality, to help...

The instructor access keys are good for about three months after activating. My code for SecurityX dropped out this past week, so I'm trying a couple other things. My only gripe about CertMaster is that I'm an audiophile - I learn by hearing and I like to listen to text on mobile, while...

What @Stephen Schneiter said... lol

Welcome to the party, Andrew! Glad to have you and looking forward to hearing more about what you have happening, out here on the boards. In the meantime, take a couple minutes, jump into a few conversations and let's get to know you better! Good to meet you! /r

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...

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...

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

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...

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...

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...

Well done. Good job.

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

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

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

Here are the links to the previous sessions - You'll still have to register for them if you haven't already, but if you need to catch up, these should work. Session 1 Session 2 Session 3 Session 4 Session 5 Session 6

Well, unless it's something like Cloud+ or something...
