As an instructor, I enjoy the sneak peek almost as much as the TTT's in that it spends a good amount of time showing where the focus has shifted from the previous versions.

My college has been considering CySA+, and this refresh might be just what we need to get that ball rolling.

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!

And just to add to what Greg said here - CompTIA used to have a Certified Technical Trainer credential, which was discontinued a few years ago. Personally, I'd love to see some kind of Instructor credential return, but for now, the best we can hope for is "a certified professional who teaches CompTIA certification courses." - an often thankless job that is also, sadly, credential-less.

Cheers

All you have to do to be a CompTIA instructor is pass a CompTIA certification exam and teach the course.

That's it. Nothing else.

Rename in order to sell. Like CASP to Security X (horrible choice)
