A sticky post for all upcoming / new CompTIA certifications

Hi CIN Team

I currently get an email from my CompTIA account manager of all upcoming and coming soon CompTIA certifications. Shouldn't this be something that should be readily available to us CompTIA instructors in the CIN? I see posts (and I've made posts myself in the past) enquiring when a new certification is coming or when an update is coming. Maybe creating a place for displaying them all would help?

CertMaster Practice for A+ Core 2: 220-1202 - Malware Removal Process Methodology Incorrect

You are definitely correct on these steps.

I had a similar error found in an A+ lab placement (Set up an A/V Workstation) and CompTIA's reply was:
We are aware of this issue and are looking into possible solutions. However, we cannot move content once a course launches because it will disrupt/break scoring and LMS integration.

I cannot speak for CompTIA, but I imagine changing correct/incorrect answers may create a similar situation.

What we really need IMO is an errata of known issues for each course for known items that cannot be adjusted.

So happy to part of community that moves forward CIN TTT Series: SecAI+ V1 Session. 😎😎😎 see you in the session.

New version of Security+ TTT?

Correct, it should release around October 2026.
Thank you for the update regarding the upcoming Security+ release. Could you please clarify the expected retirement date of SY0-701?
We typically begin teaching Security+ course in September, and our students usually sit for the certification exam the following summer. If the new version is released in October 2026, will SY0-701 remain available long enough (e.g., until summer 2027), or would you recommend that we plan to transition to the new version immediately?

  • Question
CertMaster Practice for A+ Core 2: 220-1202 - Malware Removal Process Methodology Incorrect

Hello, everyone,

The CompTIA CertMaster Practice for A+ Core 2: 220-1202 answer explanations for the multiple-choice questions in objective 2.6 do not reflect the update from 7 malware removal steps in version 220-1102 to 10 malware removal steps in version 220-1202.

I recently opened a ticket with CompTIA Support to address this, but it was closed without any action taken. Students are quick to point out this discrepancy and are deterred from continuing to use CertMaster.

What would be the best way for the CompTIA product development team to quickly address this issue? The exam has been publicly available since March 2025, so I am surprised it has not been quickly fixed.

Thank you in advance.

CIN The Pulse: Unskilled. The Human Shadow Behind the Artificial Workforce.

An interesting topic, and one that truly interests me, given I'm now on the sidelines of workforce development through retirement. Of particular interest is the bulleted item: "How not all jobs will disappear, but every job will change."

I've made a point of periodically reviewed the content of the r/layoffs sub-reddit forum just to see how people that have had the misfortune of loosing their job feel about the impact of AI in the workplace. Many of the postings were from people in the technology field, and to some extent they blame AI.

Voucher for the Data+

‼️📣 Be on the lookout! I heard that the Data+ vouchers will be sent out via email tomorrow, Wednesday, February 18th.
@Stephen Schneiter, I didn't get the Data+ V2 voucher, as I have an email discrepancy. Can you take a look into this for me, please?
p.s. I sent you an email prior.

Enrollment of Our Instructors !

Dear @Stephen Schneiter ,

Thank you so much for approving our instructor, we're learning so much through the valuable resources in CIN. Just wanted to ask you on the status of other 5 instructors of us which their account is currently pending for your approval, if you want I can share their names and other detail with you? I hope they get their accounts approved ASAP.

The leaderboard at Brain Wave Technology Services Co. decided to enroll all instructors even those with lower level certifications in to the lates SecAI TTT, at least they will get familiarized with Certmaster labs and .... if not with the technical knowledge of TTT itself.

Thank you so much for everything, so excited to be part of this amazing community.
