What is the aim of this short course?

The aim of the short course is to give you a ‘taster’ of what it is like to undertake postgraduate study via Online Education with Charles Sturt University.

 

Will this course prepare me for all facets of the CTT+ certification?

No — in order to achieve CompTIA CTT+ certification, candidate must pass both a computer-based test (CTT+ Essentials TK0-201) that assesses knowledge and a performance-based exam (TK0-202 or TK0-203) in which the candidate demonstrates prescribed skills during a recorded training session. Due to time & logistics constraints, this short course only prepares you for the CTT+ Essentials TK0-201 certification exam.

 

Is the CTT+ certification only suitable for technology trainers?

No — CTT+ is a cross-industry certification suitable for anyone wanting to demonstrate that they are a training professional. The examinations are based on a set of objectives designed to measure the core knowledge and skills that competent instructors must demonstrate to complete an instructional assignment successfully both in a physical classroom and a virtual classroom environment.
