DataX is renamed DataAI

CompTIA DataAI: The Reimagined DataX Certification for the Advanced Data and AI Workforce​


January 12, 2026

CompTIA is rebranding its advanced DataX certification as DataAI, reflecting the fundamental shift in how data work is performed across modern organizations. This official transition is set to take place on January 21, 2026.

Data and AI are no longer adjacent disciplines: Today’s data roles increasingly require proficiency in machine learning, advanced analytics, and AI-driven decision-making.

Artificial intelligence is becoming more deeply embedded into analytics, operations, and decision-making, with demand rising for professionals who can design, implement, and operate intelligent data systems responsibly and at scale.

CompTIA DataAI validates those capabilities, giving experienced professionals a clear way to demonstrate advanced expertise, while giving employers confidence that their data and AI initiatives are being built on sound technical, operational, and governance foundations.

I took that one last back in 2021, just as a cold turkey, no studying - didn't get a perfect score, so that underscores this point...always stuff to learn.

Yes, CompTIA PenTest+ builds upon foundational knowledge from Security+, covering similar security concepts but from an offensive, hands-on penetration testing perspective, validating skills in vulnerability management and ethical hacking. While Security+ covers broader security fundamentals (defensive), PenTest+ dives deeper into identifying, exploiting, and reporting vulnerabilities across various environments like cloud, web apps, and IoT.

Is the training online or on-site?

Hi,

I think it could be better if the instructor you're looking for is PenTest+ certified.

I see the phrase "a certified Comptia Security X instructor" with certified in bold. CompTIA does not certify instructors. CompTIA certifies product knowledge. Vetting instructors' presentation skills and product knowledge are something you, the client, do with your own mechanisms.

Stephen Schneiter said:
Hi, @Aremutope, I can look to see about the voucher. DM me what voucher you are trying to use and that it was offered through a TTT. I will see what I can do.

I also had this happen, with my SEC + voucher, back in October. I emailed you, and never heard a response, but to be fair, it was right at the time you had an OOF reply for a convention.
Regards,
