Inquiry About Becoming a CompTIA Instructor

And just to add to what Greg said here - CompTIA used to have a Certified Technical Trainer credential, which was discontinued a few years ago. Personally, I'd love to see some kind of Instructor credential return, but for now, the best we can hope for is "a certified professional who teaches CompTIA certification courses." - an often thankless job that is also, sadly, credential-less.

Cheers

Passed Linux+ XK0-006

Exam went quite well, I had studied for the 005 but never took it. Process of elimination seemed more important than in most of the core exams. I use Linux in the context of Sec+ regularly and did much better than I expected. I scored an 873.
You beat me by a mile! However I think there is something to be said for someone who once had trouble understanding octal permissions scoring 777 on this one! ;)

Inquiry About Becoming a CompTIA Instructor

Hello everyone,


I am an experienced technical trainer and digital transformation specialist currently holding MCT, FCT, and CertNexus Authorized Instructor credentials. I deliver training in cybersecurity, data analytics, and AI for both youth and professional audiences.


I am interested in becoming a CompTIA instructor and would appreciate guidance from the community on the current qualification requirements and recommended pathway.


Are there specific certifications, partnership models, or authorization steps required to teach CompTIA courses officially?


Thank you in advance for your support and insights.
