PearsonVUE Test Center Rules -
- By Rick Butler

So, we have PV Test Centers within our schools. The rules at https://www.comptia.org/en-us/resources/test-policies/proctor-policies/ stipulate the six-month rule that prevents anyone who has taken an exam in the last six months must wait before he/she can be a PV Test Administrator, and six months after resigning as a TA before taking another CompTIA exam. Makes sense to me.
However:
The latest TA guide from Pearson, however stipulates this in Section 2.2:
...which means if you hold a CompTIA cert, you can't proctor an exam.
Now, the latest guidance from Pearson came out on March 20. It could be that CompTIA hasn't got around to updating their policy page, but this might be a good question to ask any organization here on CIN that might also have their own Test Center.
Anyone from CompTIA want to kick this up the chain?

Regarding the CertMaster CE product

What I wished that page said is "those with an an active certification can use the CE product to extend for another 3 years." or something like that.Hi All,
I originally obtained my Security+ Certification in July 2020 with the SY0-501 version. Three years later, in 2023, I renewed it using the CertMaster CE product for security+ at the time. Now, it's renewal time again. I would like to ask some clarifications because some of the official info is a little conflicting.
In this information page about CertMaster CE:
Complete a CompTIA CertMaster CE Course | CompTIA
Renew with CompTIA CertMaster CE, an e-learning course, without having to take a new exam.www.comptia.org
It specifically mentions SY0-601 or earlier.
However, in the actual product page:
Security+ (Plus) Certification | CompTIA
Security+ validates the core skills required for a career in IT security and cybersecurity. Learn about the certification, available training and the exam.
All the way to bottom where the CE Product is, there is no mention of or earlier. Only SY0-601 is mentioned by name.
Will I be able to renew my certification using the current CertMaster CE product for Security+? My expiration is on the 24th this July, but I can probably bang it out in a week. Just have to consider the purchase approval process in my company. Any clarifications are welcome.
You can use CE courses even if you used a CE to go from 501 to 601. As long as it is current, you are good to go.
Try to complete the CIN TTT Series: CySA+ V4 On Demand.
