I’ve just completed a 3 day course for CompTIA Certified Technical Trainer. It was run by a company called Rezound based in Sheffield who are one of the few to offer such a course that’s endorsed by CompTIA. Although the complete CompTIA model was coveredd, the emphasis was on providing an immersed classroom experience to give me the skills needed to train in the real world. I was one of 3 candidates in what was an very fast paced and intensive 3 days, but an experience that I would very much recommend. We were all taken out of our comfort zones and strangely performed better when under the most pressure. The use of a variety of media and delivery methods and generating the right mix of questions; overhead and directed was drilled into us. It was very much experiential and our trainer was very good. By the end of the course we all had the necessary video recordings made of us delivering 20 minutes of training, a requirement for the video submission element of qualifying for CompTIA’s Certified Technical Trainer. I have previously sat and passed the computer based exam unlike the other candidates, but this was some time ago and I very much welcomed the opportunity to refresh and review my knowledge. Rezound have an impressive 100% success rate for their candidates video submissions which compares very well to an average of 50%… so no pressure then! Once I receive my video files from rezound I will need to complete detailed supporting documentation to relating each of the key CompTIA domain elements to my course delivery. I found the course very useful and would certainly recommend it to others.
