Josh here.

From Texas.
Looking to instruct privately for now.

Currently working on some AI certifications, just noticed CompTIA has the SecAI+.

Success story was that I aimed to acquire the CSIE stackable certification Sec+CYSA+PenTest+CASP/SecX & I achieved this milestone in record time.
Good to meet everyone & hoping to get more engaged with the community.

Welcome and a special congrats for finding this particular thread. I can imagine that it's buried deep in the core of CIN these days, but no matter - it's great to have you here, Josh. Feel free to chime in on what you see in the community - always good to see new faces!

SecurityX could be renewed with other non-CompTIA certs, like the CISSP and CISM. CloudNetX and DataAI didn't have options for this.

Right. Fair enough...

I started to write a post here about the skills that are required to be a good or great or excellent technical trainer... but it got pretty long, and I decided to post it to my blog. I hope you click through and enjoy it, and I look forward to reading your thoughts on it!

The best way to teach…

Every technical instructor I know has often been asked, ‘What is the best way to pass the exam?’ While we likely all have different answers, but I think we can all agree that the best w…

This is a great reflection on what truly makes an effective instructor. Knowing the material is essential, but your point about humility and continuous growth is what really stands out. Listening to students, respecting their questions, and being honest when you don’t know something all build trust and create a stronger learning environment.

Your honesty about your own growth is especially impactful; it’s a reminder that great trainers aren’t perfect, they’re always improving. Knowledge and experience matter, but humility is what makes the biggest difference.

In this 2-hour hands-on session, CompTIA’s @James Stanger will walk you step-by-step through how to design, build, and test a practical AI agent. Think of the agent as a Q-branch, customized digital tech assistant.

By the end of this session, you will be able to:

Create a basic AI agent using free and pay-tier platforms

Plan your agent like a project— understand why, like painting a house, success is all in the preparation

Evaluate AI agent tools and platforms and decide which ones fit your needs

Map and document workflows during the planning before even considering building an agent

Apply industry best practices for building agents, including setting goals, organizing the information that your agent needs, setting boundaries, and the vital testing and security measures you should consider

Join CompTIA’s Dr. James Stanger to move beyond AI buzzwords and leave with a clear, practical roadmap for building an AI agent you, your students, and industry workers can use.

Hello Everyone! We have been in the process of building out a webinar schedule for the rest of the 2026. Below is the outcome of the planning we have so far. We would like feedback from CIN as to what you think is missing? What topics would you like to see offered? Are there any proposed launches from the CompTIA Product Roadmap that you think should be covered? We will add to our webinar list based on feedback and interests.

Today I passed the DA0-002: CompTIA Data+ Certification Exam. I had already passed the previous version DA0-001, and I thought this one was much easier.

One PBQ, 79 M/C questions. A few AI questions scattered throughout, but otherwise not much new.

Overall, it's a good introductory data certification for people getting started on their career path in data analytics.

I'll be taking the new DataSys+ soon. I'm interested to see how much it has changed since the previous version.

Congratulations

Great work, Steve, exactly what we needed. One quick thought: do you think we should include some sessions on 'How to deliver effective CompTIA courses' now that CTT+ is gone? It could add some great value to the community especially new members.

I took the DataSys+ beta earlier this week. I like the updates to this exam. It seems better scoped than the current version. It took a little bit of Net+, a bit of Cloud+, a good chunk of Sec+--all in the context of databases--and then mixed in lots of database content. I had 4-5 PBQs (can't remember exactly), and a total of about 115 questions, with a better mix of difficulty than the current exam and more technical knowledge required. Finished a good hour early.

Anyone else taken this one yet? What did you think?

congratulations.
What materials do you used for preps?

Luca MC · Apr 12, 2026

Hello everyone,
Is anyone currently going through the CertMaster for SecAI+?
Overall, I think the material is well-organized and well designed.
However, I couldn’t find any student or instructor handouts that could serve as an "offline" resource?

Also, regarding the interactive labs, which I must say, great job CompTIA!, I noticed that when resuming labs from a saved point, some tools and steps don’t work properly due to poor connectivity, often internet-related issues.
A simple DNS refresh or reset usually fixes this, but it might be helpful to mention this somewhere for students who aren't experienced in troubleshooting, as they might expect everything to work seamlessly.
Of course, at this certification level, students should have enough proficiency to handle such issues themselves, but I bring this up because many might assume such guides are provided upon purchase?

Gregory Childers · Apr 11, 2026

I'm scheduled to take it next month, so I'm looking forward to seeing the changes from the current version.

It happened one time for me but wasn't planned. I had the exam scheduled just a couple days before the voucher expired, then the testing center had some issues. They had me reschedule for a later date after resolving their issues. But I've not seen a situation where the candidate can request an extension.
