The Security+ slides also lean heavily in favor of text and bullet points. I had to add my own slides and graphics from elsewhere.
Hello Peter, You make a solid point. Producing a presentation ahead of the launch creates a challenge doesn't it? Much effort is required for including pictures and graphics for commercial use, including permissions and that the platforms used to create same are commercially licensed. CompTIA's reach is global, which includes compliance with a variety of laws.
However the primary purpose of slides is in classroom use. Since these aren't intended for marketing or as the primary means of teaching, I can see value in simplicity. They are used to enhance my hands-on and experience-sharing. My students like them as a study guide for the keywords, concepts and objectives. I encourage use for review after I've taught a subject. I like slides to have just enough information, then if they still don't have a firm grasp of the material, to follow through with more in-depth research and to ask questions in class.
Yes, I agree slides can be dry! @LynW brings up a good point about the use of graphics. CompTIA provides the basic slide deck with the main teaching points. Some folks have commented that there are too many slides. You have the ability to change the slides, add slides, remove slides or edit them as you see fit. You have a starting point and the ability to change the slide deck to meet your teaching style, pacing, and content you want to cover.
I like to add some graphics that work for me, some that I think add context to the text. Others do not; it is a personal choice. Every instructor has a unique style for content delivery.

And to dog pile onto what @LynW and @Stephen Schneiter have said...
I think slides are the tool of the individual - and they have to be tailored to the person using them to deliver the content. Sure, one can use stock or canned slides, but I have ALWAYS preferred to make my own. With slides, too many times, they become the "star of the show", rather than the speaker. No matter how good the slides are, the speaker should always be the center of attention.

We cannot ignore issues related to copyright. Not every graphic or image is easy to create and copying them from other sources (without permission) is also not legal. Maybe we can use generative AI to help us... &;-D
I always check if images are licensed for public use and can be modified and used commercially.
With generative AI - there is discussion if AI or the person who created the AI becomes the copyright owner OR if from training data it "copied without permission" from someone else. This is one of the interesting questions, I'm waiting to see play out in legal circles. - While I wait for the legal wrangling, I am continuing to draw diagrams on a whiteboard. Even when the diagram is rudimentary, the learners watch it develop and often ask questions that influence my final drawing. Thanks @Rick Butler for saying, the speaker is the "star of the show."
That's a key perspective, because we get so wrapped up in making presos that we think should impact our students by just seeing them that we forget that they can never replace what we bring.
Sorry to ask, but where to find them yet? i do not see the Instrutor Manual / slides in Testout.. only the student view to the course...
Hello @Michael Schmitz The slides have been included in the Train the Trainer sessions - the email reminders have the"Join the Event" button and the on-demand version is in the same place. Once you have entered the On24 training session - choose the paperclip button on the features bar - each session has the slides covered in that session (10 in all). Choose Today's slides to download.

Hello Lyn,
thank you for your answer. I know where to find the Slides for the TTT. I did ask where to find the official Course Slides. I did not see them in our TestOut Subscription (as it was available in other TTT before). So did i miss the Link, or are they not there ?
My Question is still open.
Michael

As I understand, the TestOut Version for the TTT was supplied as a class - the instructor version is requested from your CompTIA representative. I have an instructor version with the slides again in the Resources tab, and will be found under PowerPoints.
If I understood correctly, the slides in the TTT course that we just completed are the same ones in the CertMaster Perform (Testout) course. @Stephen Schneiter asked Don about it in class three or four and Don said he was using the same slides. Unless I'm missing something.
Have a great weekend.

All the slides used for the Network+ TTT Series are the same ones provided by CompTIA, However the only exception is the slides I added with additional questions or games.
