So I'm very big into helping students pass their A plus network plus security , plus series of exams . Alright , so this is gonna be a short one today , guys , because I have news . I have a couple of organizations contact me because of this podcast and tick tock .

Right , I'm on tick tock now , guys , at Professor Jay Rod and hit the like button , for then I can go live and they all and they wanted me to kind of like announce it that they are doing classes . Now , some of them are free , some of them are not free . I'm gonna go over . I'm not gonna mention the , the school .

You know you can email me at Professor Jay Rod , jr od , at gmailcom , and I can get more into detail , but there is one school that's offering a whole year of a cybersecurity course . That means you take a whole bunch of classes I think 123456 , 1010 classes , but it's a whole year , whole calendar year .

Now that could be free or pay , depending on your income , so that you got a . You know it all depends on your income , has nothing to do with me , all depends on your income . That's in New York City and that is not zoom , that's in person . You got to go in there in person .

I have another one , again in New York City , that it could be free , again depending on your , your financial status , if it's . But that one is zoom , that one could . That's zoom right . That one's done on totally online . So if you want you can go to that one . And then I have another one . I think this one doesn't start into May .

It's paid and free , depend again depending on how much money you make . This one is in person , is and it's in Westchester County . So for my people up there , the Bronx area , westchester County , this one might be better for you than you know going down to the city , and that one does a plus , a plus .

They will do a class where it's a plus network plus , security , plus . The second one is just a plus . So the first one is a whole cybersecurity course for a year . The second one is just a plus nine weeks , six hours a week . And the third one is could be a plus network , plus security plus . I think it's 40 hours each one .

So if you are interested , please email me at professor J rod J R O D at gmailcom and in the subject put come to a class and in the body of the message tell me which one are you interested in . Are you interested in the full year cyber security program ? Are you interested in the nine week a plus class ? Are you interested in the trifecta right a plus ?

There were plus security plus . Also , if you can tell me , you know if you could pay or not pay right , I don't know how much . Again , I don't want to say how much it is on here . I think I know how much it is . I don't want to stay on here . Email me , I can tell you how much .

And it's taught by great instructors , you know , and it's all geared for you to . You know , get your , you know a couple of certificates , those certifications along the way and you can continue . You , you know your growth from there . There's a great opportunity .

Guys , you know , the one issue that I have with free stuff is that people don't like to take advantage of it . They don't . I've had . I've taught a lot of classes that were you know that they were for free . You know based on so , you know grant or something . You know somebody got a grand , decided , hey , I want to spend my money doing this .

And they reach out to me they say , hey , can you teach this a plus class ? Right , you know all these people . They're getting it for free . And what happens ? They stop showing up . Right , they stop showing up because it's hard . These classes are not easy guys . So if your commitment level is not there , please don't email me .

Right , I only want serious people who are willing to put in the work . There's a lot of people out there who who want to change their career and want to change their life , but they don't want to take it serious . Right , this is work . Right , going just getting your a plus , it's work , it's a commitment .

You have to be able you know you have to be able to put in the work , to put in the commitment . If you're not gonna do it , please don't email me . Right , if you're not gonna be able to take the time to do six hours a week Plus , read , right , cuz you know it's not just showing up to class . You got to do more , right .

If you cannot do that for nine weeks , show that consistency for nine weeks . Please don't email me and remember the summer is coming right . And then you know , you know , I think we get a lot of schools , get a lot of enrollment .

These type of schools get a lot of enrollment in January because people , you know , they New year , new me kind of thing , and then it kind of wanes , you know , towards the middle of the year . But you know , let's , let's do this , let's get you certified this year , let's make 2024 the year that you finally do it .

Change your career , get a new job , get a job that makes more money , make your family proud , make yourself proud , elevate yourself , educate yourself right , because that's how we're gonna do it , by education and , and you know , learning our way . I wish I had my come tears for free .

You know , I had to take a boot camp , had to pay my own money to get a boot camp for a plus , and I took the boot camp four days , 10 am To 6 pm , monday through Thursday , and that Saturday I took both exams in past . So because I went home , you know , the class ended at 6 . I got home by 7 . Study to midnight . I did that .

Monday , tuesday , wednesday , thursday . That's 20 hours of studying right there , right , 40 hours a lecture , 20 hours of study . Friday I study at least 10 hours . So that's 30 hours of studying , 40 hours of 32 , 32 hours of lecture , 40 hours of . Is that for 30 hours of study ? Got up Saturday morning , went to the , the first one For the , a plus .

When got lunch . Came back to part two , you got a plus certified following week for network Network plus . Did the same thing to the class 10 to 6 Went home study five hours Right Friday . Study for 10 hours . Saturday took the exam past . Was I mentally drained after that ? Absolutely , but I Did what I had to do . That was my goal .

Right , my goal was to do that . My goal was to get certified and I was able to do it . If I could do it , you can do it . You just gotta , you know , put away the PlayStation , playstation right . Put away the Netflix . Talk to your significant other , tell them listen .

This is what I'm trying to do and you know I may not spend that much time with you these next couple of weeks because I'm I'm trying to handle my business , I'm trying to study . I Right , that's what we need to do . That's what you need to do .

It is so disheartening , so disheartening when you're teaching one of these classes that's grant based , that the student is taking it for free , and then you walk around the classroom and the student , like , one of them is playing YouTube . One of them is playing a game , like Because it's free right , it's free , they're doing and even paid courses .

I've seen , you know , I used to work at Lincoln Tech and I've seen students . You know the parents are paying for this , or the parents got a loan for them to go to school and then you walk around and they are on YouTube , you know , trying to see how to the , you know how to get to the next level of whatever game that they're playing .

Right , take these classes seriously . These are free classes , you know it , and they're high quality classes . They're not just BS classes , you know . It just burns me that students just like come one day or two days and they just want to goof off the rest of the time . It's a takes a little commitment . You want to change your career ? That takes commitment .

You want to better yourself ? That takes commitment . You have to Dig deep inside yourself and say , hey , I'm gonna change . This is what I want to do .

I'm gonna you know , for the next nine weeks , or for the next four weeks , or for the next six weeks , I'm going to have this kind of mindset and I'm gonna do it Right , and that's , that's what you have to do , that's what we have to do . That's you know , it's it's only for ourselves that we're gonna get it . Talk to anybody who's in IT .

Right , they , these guys , study . This is not . They don't just wake up , roll out of bed and and , and you know , they know all this stuff . They have to study , you know . And there's people that live , breathe this stuff .

I had a student once that he took the CEH certified , the hacker course with me , and I told him because he , he lives in briefs computer , you could see it , he's a nerd . And I told him the . The exam is four hours . If you finish fast , just hang out for , like , until you get like the two and a half hour , three hour mark .

Right , just go over the now , don't go over the questions , but just like , move the mouse every now and then drift off into space somewhere , because if you finish too early they're gonna flag you . Finish an hour and a half , of course they flag them . They wouldn't give me a certificate . You know they . They claim that . You know how .

You know he doesn't have anything in his background . He didn't graduate you know what a college degree . He doesn't work in IT , he was just starting . He just wanted to get certification to get a job . So they made him take another sir . I think they made him take comp to your security plus . Once he got that , they gave him the CH .

But you look at this guy , he lives computers . He lives computers . And that's what you have to do . You have to immerse yourself in the topic For the time that you're studying . If not , you never gonna . It's never gonna happen for you , no matter how much you you want , because it it cannot weigh the desire you have .

So you have to keep whatever it is as motivating you To go into that class , to set up in that class . That has to motivate you Throughout all those weeks that you're there , right , so when you're low you think about why you there and that will kick you right , kick you in the butt . I make you stay and straight out and you know , achieve your goal .

I had one class that was free . I had 20 started with 22 people . At the end , it ended with eight , 14 people dropped out . They just , you know various reasons . You know Some people have real problem , social , emotional needs . Other people are just lazy , they don't want to do it . I need too much , too much of a commitment . Don't be like that .

All right , again , email me , professor J rod . Jrod had gmailcom , put on the subject line come to your class and then put on the message which one you are interested in either the one-year cyber security , the nine week class , a older , I think 40 weeks of Of 40 , is it 40 hours of a plus ? Never plus security plus .

Let's make 2020 for the year that we finally get a cop to you . Yeah , uh , certifications , because that's what we want , right , guys ? This is gonna be the year . I feel it . I feel it .
