Compcert Courses -- Where's The Beef

I am a member of the CIN. I have a number certs I was wandering if some one could give me advice. I am not working out trying to the Pentest3. I spent time and lots of time to pass the time exam and I keep coming up short. I get close the pass mark but miss it. Do I need to do more book work and lots of labs?

On your score report from the exam, it should list the topics where you missed one more more questions. I would start your studies there.

Compcert Courses -- Where's The Beef

Demand for CompTIA certs has been limited to A+, Net+, Sec+, and Cloud+. A few people take CySA+, PenTest+, SecurityX, and Project+, but employers don't ask for those certs on job listings. The rest of their certs are low demand from students and no demand from employers. The CompCerts will be fine for people who are pursuing knowledge for knowledge's sake on their own dime, but employers aren't likely to pay for a course that doesn't yield a respected certification or add skills directly to their current job role. I think the entire new line of CompCert courses will eventually be retired for lack of demand.

From Buzzword to Baseline Skill: Introducing CompTIA AI Fundamentals for Every Student

AI is quickly becoming a baseline literacy for every student, not just those in technology. Students across all majors are using AI tools in work, study, and everyday life, often without guidance on how to use them effectively or responsibly.

  • Embeds responsible and secure AI use across disciplines
  • Provides hands-on AI practice in a secure environment, no third-party tools or extra accounts
  • Aligns with workforce expectations and recognizes skills with the CompTIA AI Fundamentals CompCert
AI Fundamentals will be available in June 2026. Register now to explore the new CompTIA AI Fundamentals course and see how teaching AI literacy today can better prepare your students for tomorrow's workforce.
