I've already passed the first one, but I've got the beta for the second one scheduled in May.

I had this error come up for my Data+ when scheduled the exam, I refreshed the screen and it took the voucher. I was surprised abut happy at the same time.

The CompTIA DataSys+ (DS1-002) beta exam is designed for professionals working with data systems, storage, and databases in real-world environments.

If you or your network are involved in data management, analytics enablement, or database administration, this is a great opportunity to help shape a new certification while it’s in beta.

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.

The vouchers have always been that way. The expiration date is based on the date your exam is scheduled, not the day you do the actual scheduling.

I usually schedule an exam date as soon as I get the voucher, typically a month after receiving it.

@jasoneckert Congratulations a million times

Greg Porter · 2026-04-28T17:16:31-0500

The email I recieve (on all my TTT voucher emails) states

Please use the voucher code: Valid through April 30, 2026 (date varies)

I tried to use my voucher code on April 28th and found out

Discount validation failed.

Exam: PT0-003, May 21 at 9:00 AM
This voucher cannot be used with appointments scheduled after 30 Apr 2026.

Save yourself some grief and be aware the cut off date is for the actual attempt
NOT when you schedule your appointment.

Lesson learned on my part.

Hello @fstlouis@313, you should have received an email with the access code and instructions for the CertMaster Perform content when you attended the first session, if you were active in the session for at least 20 minutes. Check your spam or junk mail folders.

I never received an email.

Congrats+ on earning SecAI+! That’s a great achievement and really shows your dedication to staying current in the evolving security landscape. Wishing you continued success in your certification journey.

If you want, I can adjust the tone to be more professional or casual.

jasoneckert · 2026-04-28T11:52:57-0500

AutoOps+ looks intriguing!

jasoneckert · 2026-04-28T11:51:15-0500

Makes sense for both.
As for Server+, on-prem isn't going anywhere in the future (but it may be given a new niche term like "edge"

).
If Server+ is ever retired, it'll likely be because it's rolled up into a hybrid cloud (=on-prem + cloud provider managed together) certification that replaces both Server+ and Cloud+

jasoneckert · 2026-04-28T11:47:36-0500

In fine tradition, I waited until the TTT voucher was about to expire before writing this exam.
But I must say, I really enjoyed this one - far better than PT0-002 when it comes to industry alignment!
Plus the performance questions definitely required you had in-depth experience with the tools used for reconnaissance, exploit, and post-exploit (including dumping and pivoting), which I really appreciated

jasoneckert · 2026-04-28T11:43:21-0500

Congrats+

Tanja Jacobsen · 2026-04-28T10:57:01-0500

I would be happy to help. Let me know if you would like to see a CV.

Tanja Jacobsen · 2026-04-28T10:56:03-0500

If you don't mind paying, Mike Chappel has it available and also he has the online training with LinkedIn Learning - they are both great.

samberumen · 2026-04-28T09:03:42-0500

I'm sorry Samuel, I'm on CST time 6 hours behind you I am working at that time.

I too am going through the SecAI+ material in CertMaster. My goofiness is…

I do most of my studying during the graveyard shift and I do not log out. I have gone to my desktop computer and discovered something did not work. A simple manual log off and log back in gets me back in the curriculum. I am not getting a pop up telling me activity timed out and I was proactively logged off.

Outside of that, module 1 was dry and left me asking why I was doing this. Now that I am in module 4, the module 1 material makes sense.

I will stay with the certifications I currently hold. I can renew from SecurityX down to A+, and from Cloud+ to Linux+. This time, I had the opportunity to create and teach college-level courses using the SecurityX material through our partnership with CompTIA. Through that alone, I earned 80 CEUs, so that certification is already taken care of. I had a similar experience with Cloud+. By developing and teaching the course, I earned 40 CEUs. I only need an additional 10 CEUs to complete the requirement, which I may obtain through training with ISACA. With this, I am effectively certified through 2030 once I pay the $150 in February of next year.

My question now is whether teaching a college course can be counted toward CEUs every year, or only once per three-year renewal cycle. If it can be applied annually, it would make it possible to maintain certification primarily through teaching. One of the advantages of our university partnership is that whenever an exam version is updated, I am responsible for obtaining the new content from CertMaster, updating the course accordingly, and then teaching it. This way is guaranteed that I will be teaching the most recent version all the time, so I can get credit for creating materials and teaching.
