This thread goes a long way toward supporting why I've taught in an academic environment. The established time a student spends in class (both lecture and lab), coupled with the course length (typically 8 to 16 weeks), spreads the learning process over a reasonable timeframe for content absorption.
Let me pose it in a manner few want to consider. Some training companies (notice I did not say all), focus their efforts on "career changers" as their customers. They rush them through a series of three certification-related courses in a boot camp style 5-day format for each course. The students...
A key component of certifications is their history can demonstrate with multiple industry-recognized certifications a learning path and a willingness to be a life-long learner in this ever-changing technology field.

First "master piece" I've created..... But I can't take all the credit. The 13 rules of guessing were contained in a bar review course I took many decades ago. BTW, with complete retirement only 3 months away, I'm trashing the following email from CompTIA:
This is a friendly reminder that your...
Dating myself, I use to write for Windows NT Magazine back in the days it paid well. BTW, if justification is needed for why we CTE teachers do what we do, it evidences itself in an email exchange today I had with a student of mine who I last taught about 15 years ago. My message to him, coupled...
