Great to knowMe too! I lost two vouchers granted by CIN, and because of that, obtaining this certification has become a matter of honor! ;-D
Yes @Rick Butler as a CompTIA instructor it is continuous learning.I took that one last back in 2021, just as a cold turkey, no studying - didn't get a perfect score, so that underscores this point...always stuff to learn.

Happy holidays!HAPPY HOLIDAY!!
CINners, it has been a great year!! In 2025 we have added 1,895 new members to our community bringing the CIN community to just under 8,000 global members. In the community, we have shared great conversations, connections, resources and delivered 140 CIN webinars!
While we are excited about 2025 and all the great connections made, we are really looking forward to a fantastic 2026! We are already underway planning webinars for the year, which will include series covering SecAI+, AutoOps+, CySA+, DataSys+, Security+, and SecOT+, just to name a few! We are also looking to welcome CIN's 10,000th member!
This community would not be where it is today without you!! Your participation and interest keep the community alive! In this holiday season, we wish you the very best and hope you have a great 2026!

I took that one last back in 2021, just as a cold turkey, no studying - didn't get a perfect score, so that underscores this point...always stuff to learn.Passed CompTIA Tech+: It’s always beneficial to revisit foundational courses periodically—they help keep your skills sharp and ensure you stay current in the rapidly evolving world of technology.
Karthik: To get a hold of official curriculum from CompTIA, you'll need to connect to your CompTIA Business Development Manager if you/your organization is a Partner with CompTIA.@Gregory Childers thanks for your response. Kindly guide from where or how I can have access to official training materials like PPTs for the new courses.
thanks in advance.

Is the training online or on-site?Yes, CompTIA PenTest+ builds upon foundational knowledge from Security+, covering similar security concepts but from an offensive, hands-on penetration testing perspective, validating skills in vulnerability management and ethical hacking. While Security+ covers broader security fundamentals (defensive), PenTest+ dives deeper into identifying, exploiting, and reporting vulnerabilities across various environments like cloud, web apps, and IoT.
