CompTIA AI Certification Status?

Hi Joe,

There is not an AI certification as we know it like other CompTIA certifications. CompTIA is working on certification specific AI certs for things like the cyber security Pathway. Those will be making an appearance in 2026.

What CompTIA offers is an introductory course called AI Essentials, which is not tied to a certification. We hosted a CIN Sneak Peek back in March that introduced the CompTIA Essential series and talked about AI Essentials. You can check it out on-demand here: https://event.on24.com/wcc/r/4884163/4EA1A83EDA58E4F22E6FBBE41960DA7F

Hope this helps.
Stephen. Thanks for the clarification and link. Cheers!

Is CompTIA planning to offer CIN-TTT series for Linux+ in 2025?

We will have a TTT series for Linux+ when it is launched. It is scheduled to launch later this year, I believe I have seen late July as the launch date. Keep checking back here in the community and we will announce the TTT series once it is confirmed.
Do you already have a trainer lined up? I remember that for version 5 we considered working together, but at the time CompTIA went with another seasoned trainer.

CompTIA Tech+ Learn vs CompTIA Tech+ Labs

I received an answer from CompTIA. Posting it here for others.

You don’t need to purchase CertMaster Labs Tech+ when you purchase CertMaster Learn Tech+. CertMaster Learn already includes the labs as part of the curriculum, so there’s no need for an additional purchase.

CertMaster Labs Tech+ are typically purchased alongside a Tech+ Student Guide to provide students with hands-on lab experiences. However, since CertMaster Learn integrates these labs within the learning platform, it covers both the curriculum and lab activities.

CompTIA Tech+ Learn vs CompTIA Tech+ Labs

Moving from ITF to Tech+ in the Fall 2025.

Noticed CompTIA offers Tech+ Learn and Tech+ Labs.

I have instructor access to both.

I noticed in CompTIA Tech+ Learn there are labs. Of course, I have access to Tech+ Labs.

My question is do I need to purchase CompTIA Tech+ Learn and CompTIA Tech+ Labs for the labs to work? Is there any benefit in purchase CompTIA Tech+ Labs if my students already have CompTIA Tech+ Learn?

Thank you for any information you can provide.

How can a university become a part of Academic Partner Network?

Hello @omar_shukurov, apologies for the delay! It took a bit to find the correct contact person for you to speak with. I just sent an introduction email to you and Christina Allmeroth. Christina is a great person to work with. Hopefully she will be able to answer all of your questions and get your organization set up.

A+ TTT- On demand

Hello Mike, thanks for pointing this out. Interesting! It should show all of the messages. I just went back and looked. Session 2 displays all of the messages, but sessions 1 and 3 do not.

All of the messages are recorded in the log, so you can download the chat log file from the related links box and see all of the messages from all sessions.

I will open a ticket with ON24 about the messages not displaying correctly in on-demand sessions.

Inquiring Minds Want to Know about Cyber Ranges

I liked the Cyber Skyline challenges that were at conference. The only downer was when they did the CTF last year, they reused the challenges from two years ago, or when I said, "oh, this looks familiar..." a few times.

CompTIA AI Certification Status?

I had a few students ask about CompTIA AI certs. This one caught me off guard since I missed this AI notification, beta tests, etc. I've seen a few posts, but I'm not sure I understand the mission here with CompTIA. It seems like CompTIA is going to release an "AI Essentials exam," but I admit these so called expansions are quite perplexing(seems like throwing pancake batter on the kitchen wall).

I'm not sure why they want to develop all these certifications at once when, from what I can see, they have not released one.

I find it entertaining that there are numerous CompTIA AI courses on Udemy, but I can't find the certifications.

Any insight would be appreciated. Cheers. Joe
