CompTIA used to offer CertMaster trial access links on some of their certification pages, but I don't see those being offered anymore. I think maybe @Stephen Schneiter can be of assistance here.

That said, I can personally vouch for the quality of the CompTIA training materials. I am fortunate to work at a university with a full CompTIA Academic Partnership, where our cybersecurity and IT courses are built around CompTIA content. Through that partnership, I have access to the entire CertMaster library and receive exam vouchers for any certifications I want to pursue. Between 2024 and 2026 I was able to fully cover Cert Master for Network+, Security+, Pentest+, CySA+, CASP+ and SecAI+ and took the tests via free vouchers. The material is top notch and believe me, if you prepare with just theory, like many people do you are missing half the picture, and Cert Masters prepare you way better for the exam with all the activities and VM labs.

I am pleased to announce that I have successfully completed the CompTIA SecAI+ exam, achieving a score of 900. This achievement represents a meaningful milestone in my ongoing commitment to continuous learning and professional development in the rapidly evolving field of AI security.


I would like to extend my sincere appreciation to the Train-the-Trainer (TTT) sessions, which provided invaluable insights and practical knowledge that significantly deepened my understanding of AI security concepts. The on-demand study materials were exceptionally well-structured and played a crucial role in my exam preparation.


A very special thank you to Stephen Schneiter for giving me the opportunity to participate in this program and for providing the exam voucher. Your support and commitment to helping learners succeed are truly appreciated.


I also appreciate CompTIA for developing a certification that addresses the growing importance of securing AI systems and applying AI responsibly in today's cybersecurity landscape.


I look forward to building on this achievement and applying these insights to real-world challenges at the intersection of AI and cybersecurity.

Hi all, like the title says, I'm going back to training after a break and have some questions.
1. I have the original A+ and Sec+ that never expire as well as other versions that did expire. I've taught both those classes over a couple dozen times each, do I need to take the latest exams?
2. I had the CTT+ which was discontinued, are there any Train the Trainer replacements needed?
3. I never took Net+ because my multiple MCSA, MCSE and MCITP certs were considered higher level and so Net+ wasn't required. I've taught that class countless times as well, will I need to pass the newest exam?

Want to get back on the horse, thanks for any information you can give.

Hi Folks, I will post updates on the voucher distribution in this thread. We did make a few changes in effort to try and speed up the distribution. I will post as soon as I hear a date that the emails will go out with the vouchers.

Hi @DougBrooks, no, the vouchers have not gone out yet. The series just ended yesterday. I mentioned during the series that we would pull attendance records today and begin processing. There are several steps involved in requesting approval for a large number of vouchers, then the Data team will validate and assign vouchers. I am hoping we will see distribution in the next two weeks.

Thank you for your patience as we work through the process.

I have never used CompTIA for certifying my high school students. However, TestOut was good (in my opinion) so here I am. What are the pro's and con's for those of you with experience doing so with CompTIA? Does the training provided align with the certification exam? What is your typical pass rate? Do you have someone (like a Rep) I can contact for pricing? Or this there an online form to request a Quote? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Hi everyone


I'm Seang from AICA Academy in Phnom Penh, Cambodia — a new CIN member and a newly licensed private academy focused on AI, cybersecurity, and IT certification training.


I submitted our application to become a CompTIA Training Delivery Partner about 8 days ago via the partner form at comptia.org/en-us/partner/ but have not received any reply yet. I also tried following up via [email protected] but received an error — the email bounced back.


Could anyone in the community advise:

• What is the correct contact email or route to follow up on a Training Delivery Partner application from a non-US / international institution?
• Is there a dedicated APAC regional contact I should reach out to directly?
• Has anyone else experienced delays after submitting the partner form, and how did you resolve it?

Any guidance from experienced CIN members or CompTIA staff would be greatly appreciated. Happy to share more about AICA Academy if helpful — we are very committed to bringing CompTIA certifications to Cambodia and the wider ASEAN region.
