Recommendation/Advice/Experience on SecAI+

Hi Everyone!

I'm preparing myself on taking SecAI+. I just finished the on-demand TTT series released early this year and I also adquired a training in Udemy related to this cert. I've been certified in CySA+ and Pentest+ since 2021 but for SecAI+ given that this is an "expansion series" which foundations are Security+ I would like to hear your advice, recommendation, study guide, experiences during the exam, etc that could provide more insights on this exam.

Appreciate your comments and guidance

Best regards
I passed SecAI+ earlier today. Here are my thoughts:

1. OWASP was more prominent than expected.
2. The test started with 3 PBQs. You’re able to flag them for review and then come back to them. Remaining questions were multiple choice and easily digestible.
3. The one hour limit for 54 questions was almost enough time. Did not get to one of the PBQs.

Be strong and prevail.

Passed Linux+ XK0-006

I finally buckled down and took the Linux+ and passed it today. It took some extra study but after I let the 005 get away from me I swore to myself I wouldn't let it happen again. HUGE thanks to @Stephen Schneiter, Jason Eckert's great TTT and the amazing CIN network for the voucher. Watching the expiration timer tick down on it gave me the kick in the pants I needed to finish!
Congratulations.

Did Not Receive CertMaster Codes for SecAI+ and CySA+

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.

Did Not Receive CertMaster Codes for SecAI+ and CySA+

Hi everyone!

I was not able to receive the CertMaster voucher/access codes for both SecAI+ and CySA+.

For SecAI+, I attended the training through the on-demand sessions, and I saw that @Stephen Schneiter mentioned that learners should receive the access code after completing the first session, even for on-demand learners. I already completed the sessions, but I have not received the email yet.

For CySA+, I attended the first day live session, but I also have not received the CertMaster voucher/access code.

May I kindly ask if the voucher/access codes are sent automatically after attendance is recorded, or if they can be resent directly?

I would appreciate your help on this. Thank you!
I received mine. As long as you check all the boxes above highlighted by Ali. You should be good to go.

LinkedIn Exam Scammers

I dunno - if it were me getting them, I'd probably take a screen capture of the solicitation and post it on LinkedIn for all to see. Maybe hash it #WallofShame or something. But then, I don't really do much on LinkedIn (nor have any inclination to use the platform, really - kinda hating it these days), so I'm not really getting those requests.

But yeah, nothing like some proper shaming of scammers on a public platform - with evidence, of course.
What's crazy is I do a wall of shame with the name and everything and nothing happens...smh

A+ Core 1

I found them thanks to some instructions I found on Dion Training (Jason Dion);
"To access your CompTIA A+ score report, log into your CompTIA Login dashboard. On the right-hand menu, select Schedule and Manage Exams, and proceed to your Pearson VUE portal. Under the My Account section, click View Score Reports to download your PDF"

Did Not Receive CertMaster Codes for SecAI+ and CySA+

Hi Ali,

Thank you for sharing this.

For SecAI+, I understand the exam voucher qualifications, and I believe I met the requirements since I participated in the on-demand sessions during the live series date range and I already received the SecAI+ exam voucher.

My concern is specifically about the CertMaster access code, because I have not received that email yet.

Thank you again for the clarification. I’ll wait for Stephen’s confirmation as well.

Finally passed the CompTIA SecAI+ (CY0-001)

Today I passed the CompTIA SecAI+ (CY0-001). Thank you for the opportunity to learn through the CIN TTT Series and @Stephen Schneiter.
Congratulations!

LinkedIn Exam Scammers

I have reported to LinkedIn almost 1000 times about scammers coming from India or the Philippines sending connect requests to myself and countless others in my network offering 100% guarantee's to pass exams.

Did Not Receive CertMaster Codes for SecAI+ and CySA+

Question: Did you do the first on-demand session for SecAI+ DURING the webinar's scheduled times? If not, then I don't think you'll have access to the CertMaster materials as such. Not sure about CySA+ since that's going on now - Stephen would have to answer that one...
Hi Rick,

Yes, I attended/completed the first on-demand session for SecAI+ during the webinar period, and I even received the SecAI+ exam voucher already.

The only thing I have not received yet is the CertMaster access/voucher code for SecAI+. I also have not received the CertMaster access/voucher code for CySA+, even though I attended the first day live session.

Thank you for clarifying — I’ll wait for Stephen’s confirmation as well.
