  • Question
Point of clarification for those of using TTT certification vouchers

The email I recieve (on all my TTT voucher emails) states

Please use the voucher code: Valid through April 30, 2026 (date varies)

I tried to use my voucher code on April 28th and found out

Discount validation failed.

Exam: PT0-003, May 21 at 9:00 AM
This voucher cannot be used with appointments scheduled after 30 Apr 2026.


Save yourself some grief and be aware the cut off date is for the actual attempt
NOT when you schedule your appointment.

Lesson learned on my part.

SecAI+ - Certmaster

Hello @fstlouis@313, you should have received an email with the access code and instructions for the CertMaster Perform content when you attended the first session, if you were active in the session for at least 20 minutes. Check your spam or junk mail folders.
I never received an email.

Server+ and Project+ going to the CE model

Makes sense for both.
As for Server+, on-prem isn't going anywhere in the future (but it may be given a new niche term like "edge" :sneaky: ).
If Server+ is ever retired, it'll likely be because it's rolled up into a hybrid cloud (=on-prem + cloud provider managed together) certification that replaces both Server+ and Cloud+

Passed PTO-003 today

In fine tradition, I waited until the TTT voucher was about to expire before writing this exam.
But I must say, I really enjoyed this one - far better than PT0-002 when it comes to industry alignment!
Plus the performance questions definitely required you had in-depth experience with the tools used for reconnaissance, exploit, and post-exploit (including dumping and pivoting), which I really appreciated :)

Passed CompTIA SecAI+ (CY0-001)

Hello CINers,

I’m happy to share that I have successfully passed the CompTIA SecAI+ (CY0-001) exam today.
A big thank you to @Stephen Schneiter for the exam voucher and for making the CompTIA Instructor Network such an amazing place to learn, collaborate, and grow.

Excited to bring more AI security concepts into my teaching and discussions with learners.
Congratulations

SecAI+ - Certmaster

I too am going through the SecAI+ material in CertMaster. My goofiness is…

I do most of my studying during the graveyard shift and I do not log out. I have gone to my desktop computer and discovered something did not work. A simple manual log off and log back in gets me back in the curriculum. I am not getting a pop up telling me activity timed out and I was proactively logged off.

Outside of that, module 1 was dry and left me asking why I was doing this. Now that I am in module 4, the module 1 material makes sense.

CloudNetX renewal

I will stay with the certifications I currently hold. I can renew from SecurityX down to A+, and from Cloud+ to Linux+. This time, I had the opportunity to create and teach college-level courses using the SecurityX material through our partnership with CompTIA. Through that alone, I earned 80 CEUs, so that certification is already taken care of. I had a similar experience with Cloud+. By developing and teaching the course, I earned 40 CEUs. I only need an additional 10 CEUs to complete the requirement, which I may obtain through training with ISACA. With this, I am effectively certified through 2030 once I pay the $150 in February of next year.

My question now is whether teaching a college course can be counted toward CEUs every year, or only once per three-year renewal cycle. If it can be applied annually, it would make it possible to maintain certification primarily through teaching. One of the advantages of our university partnership is that whenever an exam version is updated, I am responsible for obtaining the new content from CertMaster, updating the course accordingly, and then teaching it. This way is guaranteed that I will be teaching the most recent version all the time, so I can get credit for creating materials and teaching.

Congrats, that's awesome! 🎉 🏆

What did you think of the exam?
Thanks! 😄 Now I can confidently warn my students what’s coming.

Yes! CompTIA does what it says in exam objectives, for example, 40% Securing AI Systems. At first, from 90 Maximum number of questions in A+, I trusted A plus being harder than it, thought it was easy, which may be easy, but underestimating it, brought me into a surprise attack... The exam launched attacks… I patched my brain in real time. It finally agreed I should pass.
