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

All you have to do to be a CompTIA instructor is pass a CompTIA certification exam and teach the course.

That's it. Nothing else.

Rename in order to sell. Like CASP to Security X (horrible choice)

Both certifications barely had any market penetration, and then they decided to rename both, making them less recognizable to recruiters.

This is a very strange decision.

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!

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.

OP said it was demo'ed during the TTT. I just don't have the strength to go back and re-watch just to find the definitive answer

I'll take a piece of that bet for https://www.pcbuildingsim.com/

My memory is fuzzy but I might have dropped a link for PC Building Simulator in a TTT chat. I know I have in other forums.

Congrats.

What material beside the course book you used?

Certmaster labs was a great help. I also use a home lab for a lot of the practical application stuff.

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!

Congrats.
