Me too! I lost two vouchers granted by CIN, and because of that, obtaining this certification has become a matter of honor! ;-D

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.

Is the training online or on-site?

Does the PenTest+ covers any Security + module? or maybe i'll look for someone that has taken the certification for both (Security + and PenTest +)

Hi,

I think it could be better if the instructor you're looking for is PenTest+ certified.

PenTest+ Certification V3 (New Version) | CompTIA

CompTIA PenTest+ validates your ability to identify, mitigate, and report system vulnerabilities. Covering all stages of penetration testing across attack surfaces like cloud, web apps, APIs, and IoT, it emphasizes hands-on skills such as vulnerability management and lateral movement. This...

Security X does not cover penetration testing. Hope it helps.

I see the phrase "a certified Comptia Security X instructor" with certified in bold. CompTIA does not certify instructors. CompTIA certifies product knowledge. Vetting instructors' presentation skills and product knowledge are something you, the client, do with your own mechanisms.

Thank you Mark

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.

Hi, @Aremutope, I can look to see about the voucher. DM me what voucher you are trying to use and that it was offered through a TTT. I will see what I can do.

I also had this happen, with my SEC + voucher, back in October. I emailed you, and never heard a response, but to be fair, it was right at the time you had an OOF reply for a convention.
Regards,
Curtis

Hey damilola. I have the security x certification and also knowledge of the hack the box modules. I'd appreciate the opportunity

jonobrewski · Jan 10, 2026

Congrats! I agree, it was tough.. nothing beats the feeling and sight of the "You have passed.." message.

Hi all,

Is it just me, or is there no link to the actual objectives for Version 15? Has nobody here actually downloaded the CompTIA PDFs? Or are you finding them in the $500 certmaster your school has contracted for at a reduced price to students? That's cool for you.

I'd appreciate it if you wouldn't just tell me to Google it. I have, that is why I am asking. I am also uploading what I have found. I ask because at the bottom it says version 2.0, and I'd like to use Version 15 or at least confirm that CompTIA calls the test version 15 and the objectives are version 2.0

Thank you, thank you very much.

I had that happen last year. They had accidentally sent me the same voucher for two different TTTs. Then of course one of them didn't work. Never did get it resolved, but mistakes happen. Moved on to work on the next exam on my to-do list. Hopefully Stephen can fix this one for you!

Jill West · Jan 9, 2026

Wow, that's a big win! Congrats!!

And not only that, but the only way you get a "perfect" preso is to build it yourself!

Katie · Jan 9, 2026

Stephen, Can I get the certificate as well?
PS. I never received the Data+ V2 voucher. Ideas? I know I watched or attended them all.

Rick Butler · Jan 9, 2026

Nice job! Congrats.
