    3rd Party Training Materials or Official CompTIA Learn & Labs

    I'd like to ask why some trainers/colleges choose to use 3rd party training materials over CompTIA's official Learn & Labs and Practice. My thoughts are, since CompTIA is the certifying body, doesn't it make sense to use their materials? They are guaranteed to cover the necessary topics right...

    What is the order of the laser printing process?

    If this knowledge is needed for passing the CompTIA exam I would go with what CompTIA says the order is. :)

    CompTIA A+ Class Materials (what to use?)

    We will soon begin teaching A+ here at my college and offering it as credit courses and I am wondering what materials other A+ instructor use in class. Do you use a 3rd party? I would like to use the official Learn & Labs because I believe if your going to pass a certification exam the best...

    Core 2 PBQ: Supporting OS/App Installations Performance-based Question

    The answer is as follows. This is not covered in the lessons from CompTIA but if you know your environment variables it will make sense. "Thank you so much for taking the time to bring this to our attention. We are resolving this issue after receiving the same feedback from a previous learner...

    Core 2 PBQ: Supporting OS/App Installations Performance-based Question

    Even the video in CompTIA lessons doesn't mention specifically. I've tried many different options to no avail.

    Core 2 PBQ: Supporting OS/App Installations Performance-based Question

    I also have no idea what they are looking for. In this case it is unclear what they are looking for. I'm going through the PBQ again and I still don't know what they are looking for. Use sysprep right? Not sure even CompTIA knows. I find a lot of messed up questions on their learning and...

    A+ Classroom Length

    Thanks. That sounds like a full 5 days then? 8hrs each day? Makes it easier if the students are already technically. Our students mostly will not be.

    A+ Classroom Length

    From your experience what is a good timeframe/schedule to teach the A+ Core 1 & 2 Objectives. Do you separate 1 & 2 into different classes? How long do you give for each? 4 weeks? How many hours per day? We will soon be teaching these courses at a Junior college and want to also build...

    A+ training and hands-on hardware usage.

    I agree with most of what you said, but A+ is for the entry level position. You're not likely going to be CSO with it but it opens doors to opportunity. I want my students to be comfortable handling computers. Opening them up. Swapping components. Can't do that on a screen. You have to...

    A+ training and hands-on hardware usage.

    We are going to begin training students for A+ cert and am wondering what types of hardware you use during the training. I'm talking the hands-on stuff not just simulations. Does anyone have a list of "nice to haves" they use for training? PC's, Laptops, switches, etc... Are there any...

    Looking for CompTIA Instructors near Kankakee, 60901

    Thank you for the reply. Being in Florida may be a challenge. I'm an advocate for hands-on and would like someone local that can do in class instruction. Not saying remote is impossible or won't be considered, but my preference would be someone local. Unless for some reason you're planning...
