    Do You Report Cheating?

    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...

    Do You Report Cheating?

    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...

    Seeking Suggestions for Enhancing Student Engagement in Security+ Class

    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...

    Do You Report Cheating?

    On the surface, I would agree, but the student mentioned that as well. That the class went through them together and corrected answers to the ones the instructor said were correct. 🤦‍♂️

    Do You Report Cheating?

    Brian, I completely agree with you. The problem is that it's already been reported and CompTIA has apparently responded to this other training organization that they don't have any hard evidence so it sounds like nothing is going to come of it. :-/

    Hey everyone, happy Tuesday! So I was teaching a DataSys+ class last week and there are some security topics in the course. This being a military group, I knew that they had most likely done a Security+ at some point and mentioned that they should have seen some of these topics on their...

    How often do you teach each of the CompTIA courses per year?

    Yep, but you have to consider that there are multiple certification bodies as well. CompTIA, ISC2, ISACA, PMI, Microsoft, Amazon, Google, Cisco, Peoplecert (ITIL), etc. And then the reporting requirements for each of the top level certs. And then the fees. It just all adds up - time and money...

    Exactly.

    How often do you teach each of the CompTIA courses per year?

    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...

    Pursuing CompTIA and being a Pearson Vue Certified Proctor

    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...
