I run my training through LabSim, and the way CompTIA has implemented SSO has been devastating to my business. My school LabSim/TestOut account has been merged with my personal SSO, and as a result I’ve lost access to all my current and archived class data.

This isn’t a minor inconvenience. My business has been directly and negatively impacted. Even if my students eventually recover their accounts, I still have no access to years worth of training reports, custom exams, and related data that I rely on to track progress, document outcomes, and run my program responsibly.

At this level, I expected a smoother transition and far more care for the data that underpins my work

I am having the same issue.

Took the Network+ exam today for the first time and passed! I have been certified in A+ and Sec+ for some years. Glad to finally have the Networking+ knowledge.

Well done!

I was playing around Data+v2 group chat and made the following graphic with "my friend" deepseek, that can be found in:

Is an interactive dashboard visualizes the global participation data from CompTIA's Data+ Train-the-Trainer (TTT) series, demonstrating the worldwide reach of data analytics education. The project transforms raw chat log data into compelling visual stories about global learning communities.

I can tell everyone that I completed AI Essentials and am working through the Prompting course now. They are both tremendously interesting and feature some very new types of assignments and assessment techniques. These are truly skill development courses that will help anyone seeking to use AI tools both in the workplace and in their personal lives.

As long as the students know to select merge accounts, it seems to resolve itself, but the merge process can take up to at least an hour.

This is a big issue now. The majority of my students continue to have issues. In my opinion, this all could have waited until the end of the school year. Some of my students are telling me that they have lost their progress.

How are you getting the issues resolved?

I just took over the cyber program here and they have been using codehs. My idea was to align and teach comptia certs so that the kids could get certifications along with grades. My thought process is to put students into a position where they could graduate and find a help desk or NOC job. Or if they went to college test out of some of the classes. I think I'm going to have to write out a 1 to 1 relationship to the state objectives. Probably gonna fire up chatgpt for that one lol

Hello everyone,

I’m an Information Technology instructor at a Chapter 74 Career and Technical Education (CTE) high school in Massachusetts, working under the DESE Information Support Services and Networking (ISSN) framework.

I’d like to learn from others about their experience implementing CompTIA training programs (such as A+, Network+, Security+, etc.) in alignment with state-level CTE frameworks across the U.S.

Specifically:

How have schools structured CompTIA coursework within multi-year high school CTE pathways?

Which CompTIA certifications have you integrated at each grade level (e.g., sophomore, junior, senior years)?

How do you ensure compliance with your state’s CTE standards (for example, DESE’s six strands: Safety & Health, Technical Skills, Employability, etc.) while maintaining industry relevance?

What methodologies or pacing models have proven most effective (semester-based, full-year, hybrid, or modular)?

I’m currently mapping CompTIA A+ Core 1 & 2 (CertMaster Learn v15) against the DESE CTE framework and would appreciate insights, success stories, or lesson structures that have worked well in your districts.

Thank you in advance for sharing your experience and best practices.

Greater Lawrence Technical School, Andover MA

I can tell you what my district does. Currently we offer CompTIA A+ Core 1 as a semester course and CompTIA A+ Core 2 as a semester course at our comprehensive high schools. These courses are open to 9-12. We meet daily for 52 minutes a class period.

As for CompTIA Security+, Network+ and Linux+, we offer those as well at our CTE school that meets daily in block schedule. Those classes are all semester courses and students (juniors and seniors) have to apply to be accepted at our CTE school.

I'm trying to do the same but down in VA

I understand the reason for moving to the Single Sign On for Labsim, but doing that has caused a lot of issues for my students. Prior to this month, I was able to send my students temporary passwords if they forgot their passwords. With the new system now in place I no longer have the ability to do that. Because most of my students only have school email accounts(K12), the password reset procedure is creating a lot of unhappy students and parents. I already reached out to our corporate IT to see if they could whitelist CompTIA, but it seems to be a long and daunting process. I have also tried getting my students to move over to a personal email, but that still has its oen issues. Are there any suggestions as how to proceed with the issue? Are there any other instructors having the same issue?

Today was the first day I started getting information from students having issues getting in. All seems to be very confusing.

Hello @Deltaonyx, you will need to have a conversation with your CompTIA account representative for your organization. They will be able to answer all of your questions about student access and course cost.

Thank you.

What is the cost for access codes for my students? Where can I review access codes? (I want to make sure that I cover the cost for my courses.)
