It is a different contractor world

[jcotrone2026]

To say things have been slow even for experienced CompTIA instructors like myself would be a massive understatement.

Do any of you have any recommendations for training companies or brokers that hire for single week classes?

Have you reached out to any training brokers like TTA (the Training Associates), Alliance Micro, the Judge Group, or any others?

I've been a contract instructor, off and on, since 2007. You need to network as much as you can, with training brokers, training centers, etc.

Also, diversify your training options. I'm certified to teach 14 different CompTIA classes, but I also hold the CISSP, CISM, CCSP, CCSK, Microsoft certs, project management certs, and several other certs. I'm currently working on adding AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Associate to my list of certs.

Reach out to colleges in your area. Their Workforce Development departments will have instructor postings for upcoming classes.

Hi Greg, thanks for the useful reply! If you recall any other training companies or brokers to add the 3 you suggested, that would be great! Thanks again!

Hello,

Yes this seem to be a challenge most times

but understand that networking is crucial if you need to be active as a trainer. Also ensure your certs are up to date. Another thing to do is certify a little bit across bother within same core area of interest.

My 10 cents

Thanks

I attended two different cybersecurity conferences in the last week and a half. BSides Tampa at the USF campus in Tampa and poweredUP Tampa Bay Tech Fest at the Mahaffey Theater in St. Petersburg. I made a ton of contacts at both. Networking is absolutely critical, especially for contractors.
