Video Submissions

We need to see you in action! You can choose any topic/lesson you might find in a course for a CompTIA certification. For example, if you chose to do something for Network+, you might do a lesson on configuring a network switch. If for A+, it might be something related to diagnosing a user login issue. The general idea is:

  • Choose a lesson or topic from a CompTIA certification
  • Decide how you want to present the lesson in the most engaging way possible
  • Draft a script or present in a spontaneous flow
  • Make effective use of the screen real estate to emphasize key points
  • Embed videos and screenshots to demonstrate steps
