TTT voucher woes

I actually can't take Cloud+ bc I passed the beta. So that voucher was sent to me in error (I didn't watch the TTT within the time frame, knowing that I didn't need the voucher, and didn't want to use up one, knowing it wouldn't be applicable for me). And now it turns out my DataX voucher doesn't work because of the Cloud+ voucher being sent, lol.

Honestly, I can't imagine how Stephen keeps up with it all. Not a surprise that errors will be made from time to time. And I put off the DataX until close to the expiration date, so I'm not sure if it can be fixed in time. I'd really like to take it and have been studying for it, but not the end of the world if it doesn't happen. It's a bit outside my wheelhouse and was going to be a challenge to pass. But learning is never wasted, regardless of whether there's a cert to show for it in the end.
Always good to be diverse! That's why I ask for ALL the materials possible to have on my college account because I love to study, Putt it up for a rainy day. Nerds at heart, woo!

To get voucher exam Linux+

It usually takes about 6-8 weeks after the TTT on the short side for them to be processed through CompTIA.
I'll happily wait, that gives me time to study the material (I have it on my end) and actually prep for it vs. my spinal fusion, listening to the touch commend walking around my bedroom lol

Ahead of the Curve: CompTIA’s 2026 Product Roadmap & Innovations

I wanted to ask the following question tomorrow at Ahead of the Curve: CompTIA’s 2026 Product Roadmap & Innovations, but I will not be able to listen to it.

Is CompTIA planning to bring back the old subscription service, like TestOut had, where you have access to as much learning material for a monthly price?

Thanks,

AI Essentials by CompTIA

Is there a cert for this, or is this more in line with the AI-900 by Microsoft? What about labs for the current course?
AI essentials does not provide for certification. It can provide a CompCert, which is like a certificate of completion.

"CompCert assessment: prove your mastery of key concepts and earn a downloadable Competency Certificate at the end of the course to showcase your achievement."

The course does not provide labs per se, in the way that CertMaster courses do, but it does provide for activities.

AI Essentials by CompTIA

According to this page (https://www.comptia.org/en-us/certifications/#ai) there is a certification for it.

Google is your friend! :)

TTT voucher woes

@Jill West 2 for 1? Take Data+ AND Cloud+ Back to Back, you got this!! Also correct, never give up. Especially when you are signing into Pearson Vue and want to slowly cry while it spins and you checked your PC 200 time haha

Powerpoint

Second, this site was set up to share resources, yes, but not copyrighted content. The OP asked about getting "the official PowerPoint materials for the CompTIA Server+". Assumably, this means the CompTIA copyrighted materials that are available through the CompTIA Store or through the Partner Program.

The CIN has no control over the Partner Program in any way, shape, or form, so we always recommend that if you require material for your classroom and are a CompTIA partner, to reach out to your Business Development Manager to get those materials, as you're licensed to do.
You not only beat me to it, but you also worded it perfectly. Have a great evening!
