And that's why I will stay with the ones I have. I can renew from Security X down to A+ and from Cloud+ to Linux+. This time I had the chance to create and teach college courses using the material from Security X via our partnership with CompTIA so right there I got 80 CEU's, and that one is done. The same with Cloud+ did the course building and teaching and got 40 CEU's, I just need an extra 10, maybe some ISACA training will do. This get me certified till 2030 and then I can claim the teaching and take other training to move till 2033

If you are a CompTIA instructor, speak with your channel partner about gaining access. And as far as I know, CompTIA has stopped providing PDFs in favor of online-only content.

Congrats, that's awesome!

What did you think of the exam?

Thanks!

Now I can confidently warn my students what’s coming.

Yes! CompTIA does what it says in exam objectives, for example, 40% Securing AI Systems. At first, from 90 Maximum number of questions in A+, I trusted A plus being harder than it, thought it was easy, which may be easy, but underestimating it, brought me into a surprise attack... The exam launched attacks… I patched my brain in real time. It finally agreed I should pass.

Many thanks for your reply. Around 1630.

Hello CINers,

I’m happy to share that I have successfully passed the CompTIA SecAI+ (CY0-001) exam today.
A big thank you to @Stephen Schneiter for the exam voucher and for making the CompTIA Instructor Network such an amazing place to learn, collaborate, and grow.

Excited to bring more AI security concepts into my teaching and discussions with learners.

Congratulations on your achievement!

samantak.chatterjee · 2026-04-24T17:48:27-0500

Same question here. Is there a way to get the SecAI+ study guide to help and prepare to pass the certification exam. This will also help to provide more information and guidance to my learners during the class sessions.

I got them both before the switch so I'm good for life.

I did as well, but I think the impetus is to downplay the GFL's in the industry - employers want evidence of current knowledge and experience - so with a certification, that means CEUs to maintain the cert. For CompTIA, well, a better revenue stream for certifications that have to be renewed regularly.

So for those that want to keep that prestige of being certified, well, it's going to be a constant grind.

Honestly, I'm surprised that CompTIA hasn't retired Sever+. It's really got a niche market, since so many things have moved to the cloud.

It does. My guess is that the angle now is for those who build infrastructure, either in traditional IT on-prem servers (for those non-cloud organizations) or private clouds for those who want to play cloud, but with their own hardware. I do believe it's been on the fence - so seeing a CE for it means that CompTIA felt it enough to continue promoting it.

I can see Project+ going the CE route because it has changed a lot over the years.

Hi, nice to meet you all.

Any way to get my hands on the official SecAI+ study guide PDF? I am planning to take the exam in the following months and i want to get through the official material.

Thanks!

Speaking of AI I think it would be interesting to see something on use of AI in teaching, I am sure people are already finding some use for it but a more comprehensive overview and/or a case study would be very nice indeed.

This is a great suggestion @tir.and! I think we can put something together, maybe get a panel of folks together and present, then get feedback from group. Kind of like building a "best practices" resource and share in CIN.

Jonathan Richard DAVIES · 2026-04-24T06:13:31-0500

We have a mature student who is looking to receive some one-to-one support with CompTIA A+ (and then Security+). Initial requirement is 1 hour per week for 4 weeks.

We are launching some new products in the next couple of months that will also require one-to-one support in a similar format.

Would suit someone looking to earn some additional income and really make a difference to a great student!

We are based in London, UK but work can be completed remotely.

Yes — based on the current 2026 CIN webinar schedule, there are several areas that appear missing from the CompTIA Product Roadmap coverage. While the schedule includes strong representation for AutoOps+, CySA+ V4, DataSys+ V2, SecOT+, Security+ V9, and SecAI+, a few notable certifications and potential updates are not reflected:

• PenTest+ (next revision cycle)
A major certification with a predictable update rhythm, yet no Sneak Peek or TTT Series appears in the schedule.

• Cloud+ (future version updates)
Given the rapid evolution of cloud automation and AI‑driven operations, Cloud+ is absent from the lineup.

• CASP+ / CASP+ Next
CompTIA’s advanced security certification is not represented, despite ongoing enterprise‑level security shifts.

• Project+ and Data+
Both certifications have remained stable for some time. If roadmap updates are planned, they are not currently reflected.

• ITF+ (IT Fundamentals)
No modernization or roadmap session appears, even though digital literacy expectations continue to evolve.

• Additional AI‑focused certifications
The schedule includes AI‑themed webinars, but no indication of new AI‑specific certifications beyond SecAI+.

Hello @Dr. Carlton, thanks for the input. Just a couple of notes, We conducted the PenTest+, Data+ and SecurityX (formerly CASP+) TTT series last year in 2025. We will offer another series on these when they are renew, which is typically on a three year cadence.

I have not received an update on the next release for Project+ and I believe that Tech+(formerly ITF+) will release in 2027 as we held a TTT series in 2024.

I believe we will continue to see continued growth in AI centric courses and certifications, similar to SecAI+. We will definitely announce them here in the community as they come about.

any ideas on the dates for the Q2 and Q3 TTTs, always seem to miss the announcements for them.

I do not. I have to wait for the Products team to post. I always post upcoming TTT series in the CompTIA Webinars forum here in CIN as soon as finalized. Just check in there when you get a chance.

Hello Stephen,
Thank you for your quick reply, and it was great seeing you on the AI agent call today, But Yes I was on the first call for the entire duration of the call. Please check records for the SecAI+
