<p class=MsoNormal>Hey Guys, <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I am trying to put together a preparation class for <a
href="http://www.comptia.org/certifications/listed/ctt.aspx">CompTIA’s
CTT+</a> certification exams. The CTT + (Certified Technical Trainer) is an
international certification for those that teach technical courses specific in
the Information Technology field. As I understand it many of the large
software and hardware companies such as Microsoft, Adobe, Dell, Novell, Ricoh,
and now ESRI, are requiring this certification for anyone that wishes to be an
Authorized Instructor on their platform. I know several of our members
teach classes and I thought y’all might be interest in taking part in the
class I am trying to put together. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Emory University offers a three day prep class for the CTT+.
The first day covers mostly the written exam. The next two days move focus on
preparing the video submittal for the certification. You will be given a
voucher to take the Computer-based exam at any Prometric Testing Site after you
complete the class. The video needed for the second exam will be produced as
part of the class. Once you have passed the Computer based exam, you will submit
the video to CompTia for evaluation.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>Emory claims to have 98% pass rate for those that take this
course. I am trying to get 7 to 10 students interested in the class. The cost
of the class will be between $1,000.00 to $1,500.00 depending on how many
students we can get. I am looking at a date sometime in April. I am
hoping to hold the class at our new office in Duluth GA in our new training
room. So is anyone interested? <o:p></o:p></p>
