LOST ACCESS TO OLD EMAIL

Please when you're assisted CompTIA Support let us know so we can learn the procedure.
Who do you ask Rick Butler or me? CompTIA Support does not read here. This is something, that should not happen. And when, the instructor should not ask a trainer Forum for solving this. The first thing is to contact the CompTIA Support (from the Student). And as i said: Advise students to use a private Mail Account, and then, use th scholl/ University account as business contact..

  • Question
Operating Systems in Module 11

Why does CompTIA even include operating systems in A+ 1202 module 11? I'm not sure what they provide in the module belongs under Managing Support Procedures. Am I just crazy or does anyone else agree? I'm putting that change into CompTIA anyways, but just wanted to get some opinions. And please don't give me that "If your an instructor, then you should take this as an opportunity to inform your students." answer. It's really not helpful.

Do You Report Cheating?

I've contemplated on whether to respond to this thread, but ultimately what helps promote progress and moves us forward is the ability to provide perspective. What I didn't see in any of the posts is anyone with direct military experience. I served in the Navy for 22 years. As a retired Information Systems Technician Chief (ITC) I can tell you that a lot of what you're seeing is a culture that has been built over the course of the last 20 years. The Cyber Security Workforce Framework was thrown on the military without the proper foundational elements, so what you ended up with is people being force-fed information that they didn't really comprehend just to satisfy the prerequisite requirements to get the certifications. The understanding was that the real "on the job training" would happen once they were at their commands by Subject Matter Experts. I know this because I lived it. There are shortcomings throughout the process, but unfortunately, it's not going to change because the end results are satisfying the mission expectations.

Content for Cysa+ CEU's ?

For SecurityX Cert. you need 75 Points. for Cysa 60
That counts for all Exams below, except Cloud.

I think passing the Exam SecurityX befor Dec. is the best way. it is not harder then Security + (imho). Just a little bit more Top down Approche...


Or you apply the Hours for the TTT of SecurityX to the CySA Renewal. (that will not get you to the 60 Points).

LOST ACCESS TO OLD EMAIL

One of my student has lost access to old email, is it possible for him to transfer his Lab account (Portal.comptia.org) and associate to another email id
Did you not tell him, to use a private, personal Email Account and not a School or employee Account for his SSO Data?
One of the First things i tell students, when they need to sign up for CompTIA or other Vendors. Don`t you do that?

As Rick mentioned, he should contact support.
And have proof of the old account

A+ TTT Vouchers

عزيزي ستيفن،


أتمنى أن تكون بخير. أطلب منكم التكرم بدعمي في توفير قسيمة لامتحان CompTIA A+ Core 1. يرجى إعلامي بأي خطوات إضافية مطلوبة من جانبي.


شكرا لمساعدتك.

I assume St. does not read Arabic. Since this is a Engl. Forum, it would be nice to post Questions and Answers also in Engl. so that all can participate... I assume otherwise you will not get a lot of responses.
Thank you for your understanding.

google says:

I hope you are well. I would like to ask for your kind support in providing me with a voucher for the CompTIA A+ Core 1 exam. Please let me know if any additional steps are required.Thank you for your assistance.
---
Each TTT contains in the Beginning the Rules to recieve a Voucher for participating in the TTT.
Usually they are:
- Watch all or most of the Sessions
- Wacht them online or shortly after the TTT (Deadline)
- Be a acitve, registered Member of CIN
- Use the same Email for the TTT as for CIN.
IF you do not match these, there will be no voucher available. (Watching the TTT some Months later). Then you have to pay for the Voucher by yourself or ask your CompTIA BCM if they can help you.
But this is answered some many times, if you use the search function, you would have seen, that this is already answered in detail over the years.
CompTIA may change the rules for TTT Vouchers anytime,..

A+ TTT Vouchers

BUT I JUST PASSED AND CERTIFIED WITH THE 1100 SERIES OF THE A+ RECENTLY, AM I STILL TO DO THIS 1200 SERIES AND ALL I THINK AND WANT IS TO BE CERTIFIED AS COMPTIA TRAINER...... PLEASE I NEED A RELIABLE RESPONSE AND ALSO ON HOW OR WHAT I CAN DO TO BE A COMPTIA CERTIFIED TRAINER..... PLEASE GIVE ME THE PROCESS TO BE A COMPTIA CERTIFIED TRAINER....
Why using all caps Letters (= Shouting in the Forum). Why u cry like a baby to get something that is not something you can request as you wish, instead it is granted for Free other Conditions from CompTIA to Trainers. There i no process to be certifiered as a CompTIA Trainer. You may teach a course without passing the Exam. It is no requirement by CompTIA. So, to not spread Fake News here. Read in the Forum, everything you wrote about, is answered a few hundert times...

CompTIA TTT Exam Vouchers

When one attends the TTT sessions does one get a voucher for the corresponding exam or is a voucher that can be used on any CompTIA exam?
A Voucher with Experation Date for you (not to resell or gift to someone else) for that TTT Course. Nothing more or less.. Should be mentioned in the Beginning of the TTTs

Exam

I am planning to write server+ exam next week, any suggestions, tips, techniques to be followed in the exam to be able to pass it, thanks
My Suggestion is: go through the Exam Objectives and check , to which Term you know what it means and what not. Then you know,, what you need to reread.

Now Available: PDF of A+ Core 1 and Core 2 CertMaster Perform V15

Hello All,

One of my students brought this to my attention, and I am passing it along as it appears to be a newly added resource on 9/3/25(per the metadata on PDF). Some
months ago I recall many wanted an ebook for this course, not sure if that’s the official intent of this resource, but it is a 737 page PDF of the Perform without the labs and videos. It is located under the 3 vertical dots menu (see photos), at the very bottom
under Resources>Reference>Course PDF.
