Hi everyone,

I hope you’re all having a great week.

I am currently trying to map out some lesson plans for the new CompTIA CompCerts (Certificates of Competency) series, but I'm having trouble finding the official course outlines.

Specifically, I am looking for the detailed curriculum/syllabus outlines for:

a+ Cyber
AI Prompting Essentials
(And any other current Essentials / CompCert offerings)

I’ve done a search through the portal/website but haven't had any luck locating them yet.

Could anyone point me in the right direction or share the specific path/link where these are typically hosted?

Thanks in advance for the help!

Interested! I sent an e-mail for application. Thank you!

I wanted to give you all a heads-up. A person using the username kiranjadhav010407 has posted all the CompTIA-branded (still copyrighted) Security+ SY0-601 materials on LinkedIn. I reported it and asked that it be taken down, but there were over 350 comments: a mix of copyright warnings and thanks for posting.

When things like this happen, some people blame folks like us: instructors who have access to and use those copyrighted training materials.

It is sad that people think the can do this with no repercussions. You could always report it to his employer, Allstate, who would likely not appreciate his shenanigans.

Obviously I'm going to be up the latest courseware before I teach any class, the question is, is a valid current certification required by CompTIA?

This is a question best addressed to and answered by your employer. I am required to hold the latest certifications for all the courses I teach because I'm a CompTIA employee. If you work for a CompTIA Authorized Training Partner, you need to talk to your employer, who will then contact their CompTIA representative for an answer. If you work for anybody else, they can make whatever rules they want for their business.

This is the 6-session CIN TTT series for the CompTIA SecAI+ V1 certification. To access the on-demand series, please click the Download button in the upper right corner.

Please note that the live series has ended and viewing the on-demand session will not qualify for an exam voucher. Contact your CompTIA representative for assistance.

Congratulations.
What do you think about the exam?

Thank you for the response. Just so I understand, there is official instructor material but it is not to be shared on here?

Hello @janchester27, for access to the CertMaster Perform content, an email with access code and instructions were sent out once someone finished the first session, either live or on-demand. I can go back and forward the email to you. You should see it in your inbox later today.

As for the SecAI+, I will go back to the distribution list and see what I can find. If you are not receiving the emails from CIN, you may not have received the exam voucher email. I will reach out to you directly about the voucher.

Hi Stephen, I have the same question for SecAI+ - I did the TTT program as required but didn't get an email. However, the email I use for my main CompTIA account and the email I use for CIN are different. Could that be the issue?

Thanks!

I think the main issue is that he USED the touch screen. The issue, as I recall, was that his mouse stopped working in the middle of his exam, so he used the touch screen. I am going to make a note to ask Pearson Vue if that is a thing... can we use a screen that has touch if we do not actually touch it.

If I remember correctly, Pearson Vue does not allow the use of touch screens at all.

Thanks for raising this. It is important to clarify we as CompTIA instructors follow strict usage policies regarding training materials.

When copyrighted content is shared publicly like this it creates a misconception that these materials are freely distributable, which is not the case and also devalues the certification and can mislead learners.

Reporting such posts is the right step, and continued awareness helps maintain the credibility of our training ecosystem.

If you have a current certification that has not expired yet, you can use the CertMaster CE, but only if it is for a newer version of the exam than the one you passed. CertMaster CE is only an option for the A+, Network+, and Security+ certifications.

Oh man, don't get me started on AI, I have to cert on Copilot just to qualify to apply to get my MCT back.

It would benefit everyone to have working knowledge of ChatGPT, Copilot, Gemini, and Claude as their baseline.

Otherwise, they're getting left behind.

If you're teaching for a CompTIA Authorized Partner you will need to pass the current version of the certification to teach the class.

If you're not, there are no rules. You don't even need the cert, although I personally wouldn't recommend that.

Testing on a laptop without a touchscreen is going to get harder as time goes on. Seems like that is more the norm now. I guess I will start testing at a center when my old laptop finally dies.

I looked for this MCT Post:
He was banned for 6 Months initially, before the Appeal. What his Problem was, is not mentioned.
If he violated again after the 6 Months, he would be banned for 2 Years.

that is the reason, i like to use Testcenter, and not testing from Home..

The original post did state what the problem was. He may have deleted it. He used a touch screen.

In the Microsoft Certified Trainer (MCT) Forums recently a trainer too us through the saga of his breaking the exam rules and being blocked from testing for a period of time (possibly two years). While this specific case was about Microsoft exams, I feel it is important that we all know the importance of following the exam rules... especially when we are taking Remote-Proctored exams instead of going into an testing centre.

I wrote this article about the incident: https://garvis.ca/2026/06/29/exam-rules/

Folks, the rules are clear, and when you register you will be told what they are. Whether this is your first or your hundredth exam, take the time to review the rules and make sure you can abide by them. For instance (a big one, and in this case the reason behind the issue): Touch screens are forbidden. Your proctor will see second monitors and make sure you disconnect them, but they will not see that your screen is a touch screen. That is on you to know.

I am happy that I have never been accused of breaking the rules... but I confess, when I heard about this incident I went back and reread the rules to be sure I did not accidentally do so. I have not taken a CompTIA exam since, but will do the same... every single time.

Hi All,

As the post title suggests, my organization is looking for a Server+ instructor who will deliver a training session for us. I was contacted by our HR regarding this, so I don't have all the details yet, but the training is going to be conducted onsite, in our office along Ayala Avenue in Makati. The training will last 5 days, most likely from Monday to Friday (no exact dates yet). Interested parties may send me an e-mail at

[email protected]

So that I may then forward your information and any concerns you may have to our HR Team.

Thanks in Advance!
