The certifications I currently hold were obtained because they were required by the university where I teach (a Full CompTIA Academic Partner). These include A+ (though it has been years since I last taught it), Network+, Security+, CySA+, PenTest+, Security-X, Cloud+, Linux+, and Server+. It’s important to note that I don’t teach standalone CompTIA certification classes. Instead, we developed degree courses in which CompTIA content (delivered through either CertMaster or TestOut) is integrated into lectures, quizzes, and labs. Each course includes a weekly two-hour class session dedicated to reviewing material and guiding students through that week’s labs.
While the courses themselves run for eight weeks, students retain access to CertMaster or TestOut for an additional ten months—providing them with a full year of access to the resources. As of this moment I teach classes that use official material for Network+, Server+, Linux+, Security+, and CySA+. I finished developing the courses the will use Security X, Pentest+, and Cloud+ so as soon as those courses go live in the associate and bachelor degree I will be teaching them frequently. Each class is a 3 credit course and I teach between 15-21 credits per semester and about 12 in the summer.
