In past versions, A+ and Network+ had CLI emulators for troubleshooting scenario PBQs.

Gregory Childers · 2026-11-06T08:14:15-0600

It appears that the most significant change is the emphasis on AI Security and AI-assisted operations.

Nick Anthis · 2026-11-06T08:09:13-0600

Thanks, I've seen the PBQs. I saw lots of fill in the blanks, drop downs, drag and drop, I guess I don't remember having one where I needed to type in commands to get data to show up on the screen. I've written PBQs before for Pen Test+ and Sec+, but I never created one where they interacted with a simulated command prompt. That's a new one for me.

This thread is intended for the purpose of making suggestions for the CompTIA web site at https://www.comptia.org

My first suggestion:

On the "Certifications" page at https://www.comptia.org/en-us/certifications/#all

Create separate pages for Certifications and COMPCERTS. Students, recruiters, hiring managers, and people in the industry don't know the difference between the two. Create two separate pages listing each so that people can make more informed decisions on which offerings work best for them.

Like always, cryptography is a bit challenging.

Gregory Childers · 2026-11-06T06:34:39-0600

I used AI agents but would love to learn more ways to become more efficient.

Fanuel · 2026-11-06T05:18:23-0600

Congratulations, Continue the good work...its a calling.

Fanuel · 2026-11-06T05:17:08-0600

@Gregory Childers, we need more offers like that.

Fanuel · 2026-11-06T05:11:23-0600

Missed this opportunity, is it available on demand?

Stay tuned! CompTIA is launching a new course in Q2 2027 called AgentOps+. The certification will be centered around the ability to architect, deploy, configure, and orchestrate AI agent systems, including harnesses and agentic work flows across enterprise environments. You can check out the draft exam objectives for more info. We will offer a Sneak Peek for the new cert in Q1 2027.

This is awesome

Fanuel · 2026-11-06T05:05:41-0600

@BrianFord, I just like your presentation in the CIN Security+ TTT series, it is just awesome.

Fanuel · 2026-11-06T05:00:23-0600

Thanks for sharing this important information.

shaify · 2026-11-05T23:22:43-0600

Still open ???

Kristina N · 2026-11-05T22:21:52-0600

Hi @Stephen Schneiter,

I was hoping to get my voucher for the DataSys+ TTT. Who can I write to for assistance, please? You can contact me at [email protected] please.

Thank you

Rick Butler · 2026-11-05T22:10:13-0600

I just wish the CE CertMasters were available for all certs...

Kimberly.Baldwin · 2026-11-05T15:43:17-0600

So far so good with all the sessions. I am super excited to see the new material.

Bruce Weaver · 2026-11-05T13:16:14-0600

@Stephen Schneiter IMO I think this should be passed along to the correct team, the store.comptia,org website does not do a very good job explaining the various products.

Greetings, Fellow Instructors!

I’ve been developing and will present the CompTIA Instructor Network (CIN) Security+ v8 Train-the-Trainer webinar series. The webinar series starts tomorrow, November 3, 2026, at 11 AM CDT and will run on Tuesdays and Thursdays for six sessions ending on Thursday, November 19. All sessions will be recorded via On24 and can be viewed by CIN members who registered after the live webinar using the link in your registration confirmation email. All the presentation materials will be available for download from the On24 webinar site.
If you are interested in teaching Security+ and haven't already, I urge you to register for the webinar series even if you cannot attend the live broadcast. This is true even if your organization doesn’t use CertMaster.

Our CIN Director and my co-host, Stephen Schneiter, will provide all registered participants with information on how to access CertMaster for your own learning and evaluation. Instructors who work with CompTIA Authorized Training Partners can also gain access to CertMaster by contacting their CompTIA Representative. I’ve been using CompTIA CertMaster Perform for Security+ v8, which includes access to the CertMaster Learn, Practice, and Lab tools. I’ve had the opportunity to review the online product and all the CertMaster resources included for instructors, and I’m excited to share them with you.

If you missed it, CIN hosted the Security+ Sneak Peek last month with Stephen, Dr. James Stanger, and me. If you want to go back and view that webinar, use your registration link or you can register using the link below:
https://event.on24.com/wcc/r/5493775/097E1919B5907F691ABAC4BC7D7446C4

If you have questions about the Security+ v8 TTT webinar you’d like to share with the CIN Community, please reply to this message.

@BrianFord, May you please send me the link to register for CompTIA Instructor Network (CIN) Security+ v8 Train-the-Trainer webinar series which is running from 03 November to 19 November 2026.

I feel this is an area that will be of great interest. Most AI users are at the prompting level (ChatGpt, Claude, Gemini, Copilot) and are not moving beyond that. The AI value-add is moving from that "prompting" state to creating agents and agentic agents to assist with automation.

https://www.comptia.org/en-us/about...ort-to-define-workforce-skills-for-AI-agents/
CompTIA AgentOps+ is intended to establish a vendor-neutral standard for professionals who deploy, secure, monitor and govern AI agents.

I look forward to this new CompTIA suite of related learning products planned for release in Q2 2027.
What are your thoughts on this?

This is great

THANK YOU, made it very easy to explain.

Adeboye · 2026-11-05T10:11:05-0600

please i material for Data Sys+

BrianFord · Wednesday at 8:47 PM

Thanks. Glad to help clarify this for everyone.

Bruce Weaver · Wednesday at 5:28 PM

In the Sec+ TTT session 1, @BrianFord went over how the products compare side by side and it was the best explanation I have seen so far. I know this is an area of confusion for many, including myself. CE and Practice I understood well enough. Perhaps it has come up before but I missed it if so!
