I would like to join the boat... I have not received the certmaster access yet

Paul Hannaford · Jun 23, 2026

Looking forward to this been learning DevOps for delivery but anything that can help me out in an area I've not really covered before will be great.

Good morning Stephen,

I am also in the same boat it appears, not receiving the certmaster codes, though I do receive the "Latest updates from CIN".

I finally buckled down and took the Linux+ and passed it today. It took some extra study but after I let the 005 get away from me I swore to myself I wouldn't let it happen again. HUGE thanks to @Stephen Schneiter, Jason Eckert's great TTT and the amazing CIN network for the voucher. Watching the expiration timer tick down on it gave me the kick in the pants I needed to finish!

Congratulations.

Thanks @Shea Bennett, for sharing. CompTIA does take exam security very seriously. If you have an URL or company name that is being advertised and can share it with me, I will send to Legal and the Exam Dev team and they will investigate.

Hello @janchester27, for access to the CertMaster Perform content, an email with access code and instructions were sent out once someone finished the first session, either live or on-demand. I can go back and forward the email to you. You should see it in your inbox later today.

As for the SecAI+, I will go back to the distribution list and see what I can find. If you are not receiving the emails from CIN, you may not have received the exam voucher email. I will reach out to you directly about the voucher.

Stephen Schneiter · Jun 23, 2026

@JamesMBurke, thanks for sharing the information! I am sure this will help others in similar situations.

Hi everyone!

I was not able to receive the CertMaster voucher/access codes for both SecAI+ and CySA+.

For SecAI+, I attended the training through the on-demand sessions, and I saw that @Stephen Schneiter mentioned that learners should receive the access code after completing the first session, even for on-demand learners. I already completed the sessions, but I have not received the email yet.

For CySA+, I attended the first day live session, but I also have not received the CertMaster voucher/access code.

May I kindly ask if the voucher/access codes are sent automatically after attendance is recorded, or if they can be resent directly?

I would appreciate your help on this. Thank you!

I received mine. As long as you check all the boxes above highlighted by Ali. You should be good to go.

I dunno - if it were me getting them, I'd probably take a screen capture of the solicitation and post it on LinkedIn for all to see. Maybe hash it #WallofShame or something. But then, I don't really do much on LinkedIn (nor have any inclination to use the platform, really - kinda hating it these days), so I'm not really getting those requests.

But yeah, nothing like some proper shaming of scammers on a public platform - with evidence, of course.

What's crazy is I do a wall of shame with the name and everything and nothing happens...smh

I found them thanks to some instructions I found on Dion Training (Jason Dion);
"To access your CompTIA A+ score report, log into your CompTIA Login dashboard. On the right-hand menu, select Schedule and Manage Exams, and proceed to your Pearson VUE portal. Under the My Account section, click View Score Reports to download your PDF"

Hi Ali,

Thank you for sharing this.

For SecAI+, I understand the exam voucher qualifications, and I believe I met the requirements since I participated in the on-demand sessions during the live series date range and I already received the SecAI+ exam voucher.

My concern is specifically about the CertMaster access code, because I have not received that email yet.

Thank you again for the clarification. I’ll wait for Stephen’s confirmation as well.

Question: Did you do the first on-demand session for SecAI+ DURING the webinar's scheduled times? If not, then I don't think you'll have access to the CertMaster materials as such. Not sure about CySA+ since that's going on now - Stephen would have to answer that one...

Hi Rick,

Yes, I attended/completed the first on-demand session for SecAI+ during the webinar period, and I even received the SecAI+ exam voucher already.

The only thing I have not received yet is the CertMaster access/voucher code for SecAI+. I also have not received the CertMaster access/voucher code for CySA+, even though I attended the first day live session.

Thank you for clarifying — I’ll wait for Stephen’s confirmation as well.

I have reported to LinkedIn almost 1000 times about scammers coming from India or the Philippines sending connect requests to myself and countless others in my network offering 100% guarantee's to pass exams. Here is the problem that really needs the CIN involvement from CompTIA because I see NO ONE talking about it on this side of the fence. LinkedIn is doing absolutely nothing and what is horrible and shameful is there is a bustling market and as hard as I work my butt off daily to study. I think EVERYONE should be required to take the exam HONESTLY. I know we have all of these written bylaws but criminals and their customers don't give a crap about rules.

1. Enable Geolocation exam scheduling. If a person's address is in Baltimore, Maryland or Philadelphia, PA. They should not be able to have a exam pass on their exam center from India, Shanghai, China or a foreign country outside of the US. The same is vice versa for someone sitting in Nairobi, Kenya with an exam center in Pakistan or India.

2. Focus on Practical questions in a higher density 80/20 versus multiple choice exams where brain dumps are common from unscrupulous vendors. I have reported even US based exam centers where I was asked if I wanted to pass some CompTIA or ISC2 exams. What was even more surprising is the same exam center was still open and I know they were doing this scam. I know it is a business and they have to be "caught", but if you see a ridiculous amount of exam passing in the same center. Their should be pattern verification and validation. This is not rocket science.

3. Cheaters will always find a way. I get it, but seriously. If we want employers and industry to take CompTIA exams dead serious. I would question why we don't make it more challenging for scammer companies or cheaters who profit off of the CompTIA name and exam brands.

4. Identify the exam center by name and location ON THE CERTIFICATION VALIDATION PORTAL. That is the #1 way to put a nail slammed shut on the scammer. If the exam center location is printed on the Certificate itself AND in the portal of the Certification validation portal. It literally shames people into taking their own dang exam and it disincentivizes the scammers whole business model of anonymity. CompTIA could lead the industry to doing such a simple change by adding a line to the certification exam with the location of the exam center where a person took the exam. Remote proctored exams should identify the city, state or country the exam was proctored.

5. "Login and take the exam for you" scams which has become the most common. Work with Pearson Vue to block all remote session ports during the exam and common remote software which will be a running process on the machine. If a person's machine flags. Require them to report to a local onsite exam center instead of just cancelling the exam.

Thoughts?

Shea,

You raised many important points, and I applaud you for offering great ideas to address this problem.

That said, these folks have been skulking around the Internet in various forums for as long as there has been an Internet.

Many of your ideas could be addressed by Pearson VUE. I've encountered everything you mentioned AND MORE. And I've reported these incidents to Pearson Vue. I can tell you that in some instances, when the fraud scheme is large, Pearson will act. This is a 'whack-a-mole' problem. Small operators that disappear before any action can be taken.

As an instructor, I try to educate everyone I work with that exam fraud is a crime, that it will cause reputational harm to those who engage these services, and that it will not benefit anyone but the perpetrators.

Brian

Hello @Abu Afza, both the SecurityX (CASP+) and PenTest+ TTT series were conducted earlier in 2025. You can register for the series and view on-demand. The links are below. We currently do not have vouchers for either of those series. I would suggest reaching out to your CompTIA rep once you have completed the series and talk with them about receiving a voucher.

CIN TTT series PenTest+ https://event.on24.com/wcc/r/4821633/F7054CF63397DAA6C0A422EC9DC5AF6F/5896646

Hi @Stephen Schneiter ,

I would only like to have access to the CertMaster material for PenTest+ PT0-003, if possible. I already hold the certification, so I would not need a voucher — just temporary access to CertMaster for study and review purposes.

Thank you in advance.
