• CIN will be sunsetting the official CIN app! The app will be turned off on Saturday, August 1st. Thank you to everyone who used the app to post updates. It just was not adopted as much as hoped. This is ONLY the mobile app. The CIN community is not being affected. :)

Unused vouchers received

Hi @Mitch Garvis, I did reach out to Legal on this suggestion, and while it is a big grey area, as far as I can see, CompTIA does not condone gifting vouchers. Also, remember that voucher numbers are assigned to the recipient when they are sent out. It has happened in the past, that vouchers were found being resold and tracked down to vouchers that were awarded through a TTT series. When asked about it, the person who received the voucher for participating in the TTT commented they gifted the voucher and was not responsible.

If you have questions feel free to reach out to me or to your CompTIA representative about any unused voucher. If there are questions you can refer to the Voucher Terms and Conditions Statement from CompTIA.
Stephen there is no need to reach out to you any further. With regards to my career I stay out of grey areas. You say it's not condoned, I am not interested in either giving or receiving. Thanks for your quick response!

(I was actually asking completely theoretically... I have one voucher from you guys right now BUT I AM USING IT!)

Exam Rules - BEWARE!

It's fresh on my mind since I took the exam today. The proctor explicitly asked a question about whether my screen is a touch screen. So, I suspect Pearson Vue will not allow you to test with a touch screen even if you don't touch it. -Moez
Thank you for letting me know! I was planning on asking the next time I sit an exam, but you saved me the trouble.

Remote Security+ Instructor

I am looking to hire a security+ instructor. The instructor will teach two live online sessions per week, review practice questions, explain key exam objectives, and help students prepare confidently for the certification exam. Remote opportunity with the potential for ongoing cohorts.

Interested instructors, please send me an email at [email protected] with your experience, availability, and expected rate.

Thanks,

What Certifications Have You Added Alongside CompTIA?

I'm curious how other instructors have built their certification portfolios over the years.

CompTIA has always had a vendor-neutral philosophy, and I think that's one of its greatest strengths. It teaches concepts and skills that apply across technologies instead of focusing on a single vendor.

But many of us also teach courses or work with clients who use specific technologies. That got me wondering how everyone balances CompTIA with other certifications. Besides your CompTIA certifications, what other certifications do you currently hold? Are you pursuing anything new?

How do vendor certifications like Microsoft, AWS, Google Cloud, Cisco, Fortinet, Palo Alto Networks, or CrowdStrike fit into your portfolio? What about vendor-neutral certifications like ISC2 or ISACA? Or more specialized certifications from organizations like OffSec or GIAC?

When you're deciding what certification to earn next, what drives that decision? Customer demand? Personal interest? Better career opportunities? Something else?

I'm not looking for a right or wrong answer. I'm just interested in hearing how other CompTIA instructors think about professional development and how you've put together a certification portfolio that works for you.

Looking forward to hearing your thoughts!

AI Simulations Stuck

Sorry you had this issue. You should see 3 symbols in the upper right corner of the screen: an envelope for messaging, a ? in a circle, and a circle with a small head inside. If you select the ? in a circle, there are choices for Support, Report Error, and Provide Feedback. I'd suggest Report Error (or seek Support).

AI Simulations Stuck

Hello,
I have been going through AI Fundamentals CompCert course smoothly, then all of sudden, AI based activities/simulations stopped working, I enter a prompt, I takes forever to answer. I went on to skip the AI sim activities but everynext AI sim activity behaved the same, I reported the problem two days ago, but the issue the stills remains. Alternatives that I tried to resolve the issue are following:
> Tried changing broswers,
> Clear browser cache.
> Restart computer.
> close all running programs.
non of the above option worked, I am still stuck and course progress is at halt. I am attaching an error code attachment that might give some of you a hint to help me with the issue.
Thank you!!Screenshot 2026-07-27 155907.png

Authorized Partner Certification

There should be a Business Development Manager for the Asian Pacific Region. You will need to find that person's name and reach out to them. CompTIA is not as big as you may think. Send me an email from your work email (not Gmail or free email platforms) to [email protected] and I will forward to my rep and see if she can track down the Asian Region rep. Make sure to put "CIN Instructor - Cambodia" in the subject line or I will ignore it.
Thanks Shea, after contacting with CompTIA support team then I received email from APAC representative, currently waiting the reply email from APAC representative manager for reviewing my proposal.
