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

[Néstor Reverón]

I have probably asked this question many times. I am asking this question because the CTT+ certification is no longer available. And I would like to deliver official CompTIA courses officially with the CompTIA partner network. To deliver the classes, do I need this CTT+ Credential? @Stephen Schneiter Thanls a lot

Logical Operations is the parent company of several other businesses.

Thanks for all that history! I would've never known! I thought LO was a small-ish east European company

Even it is competion, i would look at the Companies, that are accepted by Microsoft MCT Programm: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/credentials/certifications/mct-certification . They should also be recognized by other Vendors..

As far as I know, LO's MCCT was also recognised by Microsoft... at least at some point. But, compared to CTT+ it's really not a conclusive course in didactics.

These days you can prove this ability to employers through:
* presenting evaluations, retention rates, and success rates from previous engagements
* providing evidence of teaching experience as an academic or technical instructor and references.
* if all that fails, offer to give short presentation a specific topic.

The downside is that:

1. You only have those KPI if you already have a job as teacher.
2. You have have the experience, if you already have a job as a teacher.
3. "just give a presentation" will simply not happen because most hiring departments will only look at established trainers.

So how can you certify / prove that you have the skills, if all solid certifications are gone? Now we have to take a four year BSc?

I went through my first Train-the-Trainer program in 2000, when I was employed by ExecuTrain. At that time, it was a franchised computer learning center, much like New Horizons Computer Learning Centers. Every new hire for ExecuTrain, regardless of location, was required to attend a one-week Train-the-Trainer at corporate HQ in Atlanta. We were taught by senior corporate trainers. We covered everything from preparing for class, setting up the classroom, greeting students & introductions, setting expectations, pacing and tempo, effective presentations, demonstrations, engaging students, dealing with unexpected issues, reinforcing lessons, and adult learning theory. We were graded on two separate presentations by three senior corporate trainers. The program was pass/fail. If you passed, you returned to your training center, ready to teach. If you failed, your employment was terminated. It was the most comprehensive TTT I have ever experienced, including the CTT+.

Today, I wouldn't even know where to begin to advise potential new trainers on how to find a good TTT. Toastmasters, maybe?

Speaking of:

TTT

I always associate that term with what we do here on CIN: to me TTT is "train the trainer on the subject matter which they will teach". I've not associated TTT with "teach the trainer how to teach".... but apparently that is also common?

ExecuTrain...



I remember an instructor from there as well...she was an odd bird, but rather attractive - spent a week going through Exchange 5.5 - that was fun.

TTT used in reference to training the trainer to teach is a common term that has been around for a long time.
