    Instructor Needs Some Content Feedback

    Reddit is an abysmal resource for certification. They all want to watch a few videos at 1.5X speed, use flashcards, take 1000s of practice exams, and memorize their way to certification without putting in the required work to learn, absorb, and apply the information. They want to do it for...

    Instructor Needs Some Content Feedback

    You can visit Reddit, if you dare. For full disclosure, most people who post there are looking for free or inexpensive resources to memorize enough information to pass the exams. The most common feedback is that they don't like the price of the CertMaster resources...

    You have to love those CompTIA CEUs!

    To validate that I am an official CompTIA instructor, do I need to have the CTT+ or is there another new related certification?

    I used to work for a sister company to Logical Operations and have the MCCT and the MCCT Master Trainer credentials. It involves going through self-paced training and taking an online exam. You can retake the online exam as often as needed until you pass. Unfortunately, there is no equivalent...

    how many of you manage complete Comptia Network+ 20 chapter and Certmaster Lab in 5 day Class ?

    A five-day, eight-hour day schedule is a boot camp. They're good for people who have the experience but lack the certification. They can quickly absorb the information so they can pass the exam. For people who lack experience, they would not have the same results. I always suggest people...

    how many of you manage complete Comptia Network+ 20 chapter and Certmaster Lab in 5 day Class ?

    I don't deal with any Education ministry. I don't skip labs because I don't cover them in class. They are homework assignments. CompTIA certifications are vendor-neutral. If someone wants to learn a hands-on skill, they need vendor-specific training instead.

    I've been teaching for 24 years. If a client does not believe that I'm qualified because I don't hold the CTT+, then that is a client I don't mind losing.

    how many of you manage complete Comptia Network+ 20 chapter and Certmaster Lab in 5 day Class ?

    For every single CompTIA course, I can complete the courseware in five days. I assign the labs as homework each evening. The labs all have step-bu-step instructions so they don't need me walking them through them.

    CompTIA Product Dev Team wants to hear from you

    1. I was working for a client who had a space issue in their office building. They had so many racks that they ran out of room in their server room. Their solution was to mount them FLAT AGAINST THE CEILING. The cables were dangling down from them. I've been in rooms where cables were a...

    Just Starting Out, Looking for Guidance

    If you want to be a contract instructor, there are several training brokers that match up clients who need training and trainers who need clients. I worked as an independent contract trainer for 12 years and have recently started doing it again.

    Instructor Toolbox Poll: What Browser?

    I use different browsers for different purposes. I use Chrome for work-related activities and Firefox for personal-related activities. An interesting side effect of doing this is getting completely different advertisements from each browser.

    CIN Sneak Peek: Network+ N10-009

    I've passed Net+ four times myself. My current one expires in 2028, so I'll probably sit this one out.
