My organization does some "boot camps" and we take a similar approach. The exam is NOT on the last day. Depending on the client, we recommend spreading things over a couple of weeks. So, week 1 is the lecture "boot camp", week 2 is finishing materials like CertMaster Learn and Labs, week 3 may...

Work with who you are teaching for, or your CompTIA business development manager. They are the ones who would provide access.

I work for a commercial training organization. We require instructors to have taken, and passed, the certification they are teaching. We prefer them to have taken the version of the exam they are teaching AND have the next certification upwards if that cert lies in a path. For example, for...

I am fully committed, but I grew up in Bryan! Glad to see CompTIA offerings in NW Ohio.

Talk to your business development manager or employer to access to materials.

I teach ITF+ every 3-4 months and am looking to move to Tech+ as soon as it is available.

Gotcha! Then doing the 601 wouldn't be so bad. Plenty out there to study from.

Because of the materials, you don't really have a choice. If the 701 materials were available, I'd definitely do those. Do you know for sure they will be taking their exams before July?

I know they are going up. I don't remember the latest %. I think our business development manager told us late fall it was be 2% or 3% like @Rick Butler mentioned. Happens every year. We had to factor it into an RFP we were writing at the time so had checked with our business development...

I beg to differ. They follow exactly the same order of the student guide and instructor guides. Same pictures/figures and everything. Just lacking in what they are presenting. They are a good starting point to add more to. I go through the instructor guide with the slides and add more information.

I work for a commercial training provider, and we are an authorized partner. We have a hard time competing in the market because of low cost vouchers. We have to set a certain price for classes to include the voucher. We don't sell enough CompTIA training to be a platinum partner to get the...

I think the newer PowerPoints are lacking. They don't have nearly the information that previous versions did. I found this with the A+ slides too. I went through and "beefed" them up myself before class.

I don't think that is the way it is intended or as the terms and conditions apply and state. I had a demo last week from Test Out and asked about if materials could be reassigned to someone else if they were unused - I was told no.

That's a big no. Not transferable. We have students who withdraw before even accessing their materials. There is no way to transfer them to someone else.

I highly tweak the slides, but they start out as the ones from CompTIA. We use the CertMaster Learn plus Labs materials so they follow right along with their assignments. I provide a PDF version, not the actual PPTX versions. I make sure to add on the first slide that they were edited by me so...

Thank you! I heard back from my Business Development Manager and everything has been taken care of and we have what we need. RFP is almost done.

Hello! I'm a Program Manager for a training provider and CompTIA Partner and we are submitting a RFP, that of course is due tomorrow. The RFP requests some sample class schedules. We are basing them off the Presentation Planners that are in the Instructor Materials. Problem I can't access the...

Why don't you reach out to your academic or business partner to provide them for you? Or the organization you are teaching for? That is normally how they are provided. 601 materials are still available since the exam will not retire until next year.

I am of the mind that I won't teach what I haven't taken. So, I won't teach a version of the exam that I have not taken. I want to be able to tell the students "When I took the exam", "In the previous version of the exam", etc. How to take the exam has changed, just being familiar with the...

HA HA! You are funny @Stephen Schneiter! PenTest+ is out of my wheelhouse for sure. ITF+ (or soon-to-be Tech+) is more my speed. LOL, I teach ITF+ and A+ regularly, with a smattering of Network+ and Security+. I am mainly a Technical Program Manager now and have minions to teach. I still love...
