  • Question
Do CIN Members Get Discounts on CE Renewal Resources (e.g., Security+ CertMaster CE)?

Hi everyone,

I’m a member of the CompTIA Instructor Network (CIN) and I’m planning my CE renewals. Before I purchase any continuing education resources, I wanted to ask:

Do CIN members receive discounts on CE renewal materials or tools?
For example, the Security+ CertMaster CE is currently listed at around $200 — is there an instructor discount available through CIN for this or similar products?

If there are specific procedures or promo codes that CIN members should use to access these discounts, I’d really appreciate details.

Thanks in advance!
Nick

TCEA Convention & Exposition in San Antonio

For those heading to the TCEA Convention & Exposition in San Antonio next week, be sure to drop by our StackFord booth #1963.

If you are an IT teacher, we are also right around the corner from CompTIA. Jared will be at the booth, great guy. I worked with him while I was in the classroom, and he was amazing to my students and me.

New link to the CompTIA IT Certifications Roadmap

Does this link help? Several PDF with Roadmaps...
I have to ask... based on the link NOT being at *.comptia.org, is this the official page? I am happy with it, but I would be happier knowing that it was (or was not). Thanks!

Free Linux+ XK0-006 Mock Exam Tool for Self-Assessment

Hey fellow Linux+ candidates 👋

I wanted to share a free resource that’s been super helpful in my prep for the XK0-006 exam:🔗 Skunkworks Academy Linux+ Mock Exam Tool

It’s a browser-based readiness tracker that lets you:
  • Run randomized assessments (20–25 questions recommended)
  • Track your best and latest scores locally
  • Identify domain gaps across all exam objectives
  • Export/import your progress between machines
💡 Tip: For a realistic exam feel, set it to “Timed = Yes” and “Show answers = No.”

It’s not a replacement for hands-on labs, but it’s great for quick self-checks and building confidence. If you’ve tried it, I’d love to hear your thoughts or suggestions for improvement!

Happy studying and good luck to everyone aiming for Linux+ 💪

When will be the next TTT for PenTest+

Hi @Shea Bennett, as others have mentioned, we will not offer another PenTest+ TTT series until the new version of the exam launches. You can view the current version on-demand from the Resource area here in the community. https://cin.comptia.org/resources/categories/cin-ttt-series.32/
Good Morning Stephen,
I wanted to ask if you still are troubleshooting the blank certificate issue for Pentest TTT Session 1? I finished taking the course recently, and received a blank certificate. All the other sessions were able to distribute filled out certificates, except for Session 1. Is there any way you can email me a corrected certificate?
