    Partner Summit 2025??

    Agh...just when I was so excited to have it at Opryland in Nashville, and have an excuse to stay there after visiting just to walk through so many times since I was a teen, and now they have to go and move it already. But...at least there's hope it will still happen!

    Printed courseware is gone, but what about the PDFs?

    Many (most?) academic institutions never left that route to begin with. Many of the materials CompTIA bought as the seed for their training materials were originally designed for boot camps, not academia. Although they've made some improvements, the roots are still evident in the design of the...

    Troubleshooting?

    They removed the troubleshooting methodology from the latest Cloud+. They said it's because you really can't have a rigid set of steps and there needs to be more room for flexibility, critical thinking, and intuition.

    Slide Decks More Effective

    One thing someone suggested to me one time is not to ask this question as a closed-ended question. It's really easy for students to mentally go, "Nope, no questions." And that's the end of it. Instead, try asking it as an open-ended question: "What questions do you have?" This has actually...

    Partner Summit 2025??

    The links I had for the Partner Summit this summer no longer work. Any information on whether this event will still happen? I'm going to be very sad if it disappears!

    What prevents our students from completing their goals

    Over-caffeination could also be added to the list. Can't tell you the number of times I've had students come in amped up on energy drinks with little to no sleep, and they simply can't learn well that way. (To be fair, many of the ones doing this are doing the best they can--they work night...

    Advanced degrees

    Oh weird--somehow I remembered that hubby graduated under the old name, and I graduated under the new name. Hrm. Now I have to go back and check documentation to see what it was that changed, lol. 🤯 🤣 Our undergraduate school had a bit of a change in the year between our graduations, too--we...

    Advanced degrees

    When were you there? We moved to Memphis in '96, left in '02. Both got our masters' at U of M (well, it was still "Memphis State" when hubby graduated in 2000, then it was "Univ of Memphis" when I graduated a year later, lol).

    Advanced degrees

    I have two masters' degrees, one technical (IT) and one non-technical (education). Bachelor's is in psychology--I also originally planned on going into social work and worked in inner city Memphis for a couple years (eye-opening experience). I even completed a year in an MSSW program. Changed...

    In the interest of full disclosure, that email went to my son (ITF+ certified as a sophomore in high school), not to me :ROFLMAO:

    H.I.G. Capital and Thoma Bravo to Acquire CompTIA Brand and Products

    I just received the same email from CompTIA...I feel more confused than before, lol. If the certification and training portions are sold, but the same teams will administer the products... and also we continue to be members... What will the new non-profit be called? Is that still CompTIA? Will...
