See my response to jarrelrivera. This company is a testing center and also has a couple of "mobile sites" where there is not a camera with audio and video. It's basically a hotel ballroom or conference room where they set up laptops as the Pearson Vue server and testing stations and allow the...

That's part of the problem here. The training company is also the testing center and has a couple of "mobile sites" that allows them to offer proctoring of exams onsite. My understanding is that they are supposed to send a proctor, but that they have been letting the instructor input another...

Looks like a good bit has been covered already. I'll add that I throw in some YouTube videos relevant to the topics that we're discussing. Sometimes it's a video I created (for instance showing how a ping flood works using a virtual machine) while other times it's one by someone else. And it all...

Exactly.

For CompTIA related courses I do primarily Cloud+ and Security+, with the occasional CySA+. I have a DataSys+ scheduled in a couple of weeks. Every now and then I'll pick up a Network+ or A+ if someone asks about it, but I've gotten to the point with certifications that I'm primarily renewing my...

I used to work directly for a training company that was also a testing center. We did on-site testing for military customers and the owners of the company were able to get an exemption from CompTIA for me to be able to take exams and get / maintain certifications while also administering exams...
