Stackable Certs and Credly badges

JamesMBurke
Hi Guys,
I have passed both the CompTIA A+ and Network+ exams, which gives me the stackable certificate for CIOS (CompTIA IT Operations Specialist). All three certs (CIOS included) are available to download on the CompTIA (cp.certmetrics.com) certification site. The A+ is the current 220-1201 and 220-1202 and the Network is the N10-008 (which is valid until November 2027). I have received my A+ and Net+ badges on Credly, but I have not received and invitation to collect the CIOS badge. Is there something else I have to do to obtain this badge.
I have contacted Credly support, who instructed me to contact CompTIA support. I contacted CompTIA support, who directed me to a like to the site that explains what "Stackable Certs" are...
If anyone could shed some light on this I would appreciate it.

  • Question
Regarding the CertMaster CE product

Reuel Santiago
Hi All,

I originally obtained my Security+ Certification in July 2020 with the SY0-501 version. Three years later, in 2023, I renewed it using the CertMaster CE product for security+ at the time. Now, it's renewal time again. I would like to ask some clarifications because some of the official info is a little conflicting.

In this information page about CertMaster CE:

www.comptia.org

Complete a CompTIA CertMaster CE Course | CompTIA

Renew with CompTIA CertMaster CE, an e-learning course, without having to take a new exam.
www.comptia.org www.comptia.org

It specifically mentions SY0-601 or earlier.

However, in the actual product page:

www.comptia.org

Security+ (Plus) Certification | CompTIA

Security+ validates the core skills required for a career in IT security and cybersecurity. Learn about the certification, available training and the exam.
www.comptia.org www.comptia.org

All the way to bottom where the CE Product is, there is no mention of or earlier. Only SY0-601 is mentioned by name.

Will I be able to renew my certification using the current CertMaster CE product for Security+? My expiration is on the 24th this July, but I can probably bang it out in a week. Just have to consider the purchase approval process in my company. Any clarifications are welcome.

Building the Future of IT Through Learning, Innovation, and Community

jrebolledo
Hello CompTIA Community! 👋

I’m excited to join this community and connect with professionals, educators, and learners who are passionate about the future of technology.

My focus has always been on helping people make technology practical, approachable, and meaningful. As an IT educator, I enjoy helping students build confidence through hands-on learning, real-world problem solving, and continuous skill development.

I’m especially interested in how Artificial Intelligence, cybersecurity, networking, and automation are changing the way we learn and work in IT.

I look forward to sharing ideas, learning from this community, and connecting with others who are helping prepare the next generation of technology professionals.

What IT skill do you think will become the most important for professionals to develop in the next few years?

[Help] CertMaster Perform – "This Teacher Has No Active Classes" When Trying to Enroll via CIN TTT Series Access Key

B
sirithanatharathorn said:
Hi everyone, I'd like to know about activating CertMaster Perform using an access key obtained from a CIN TTT Series course — whether it was attended live or accessed on-demand. After adding the institution as "CIN TTT Series," I'm unable to enroll in a class under the instructor assigned to that course. I keep getting the message: "This teacher has no active classes."

For example, I currently have access to CySA+ V4 but can't join Nicholas Pierce's class. Similarly, for the on-demand SecAI+ V1 course, I'm unable to join Dwayne Natwick's class, and the same issue occurs with Data+ V2 taught by Frederick Anaafi.

This is my first time using CertMaster Perform, so I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. @Stephen Schneiter — or anyone who knows the answer — could you please help clarify? Thank you!

Someone please correct me if I am wrong... you get CertMaster access, but not enrolled in an instructor's actual class correct? It sounds like it is working properly to me.

Network + in 5 Days

A
Nick Pierce said:
The schedule of two week is for covering every item, lab, quiz, etc. in the classroom.

What I do is leave the quizzes and a majority of the labs for students to complete on their own. I pick several labs that I feel are critical for the exam based on my experience and knowledge of the exam itself (I take each new exam when it comes out to maintain my cert vice doing CEU’s).

There is course outline and planner available for instructors in the CertMaster resources. Download it and set it to the 5-Day option. It provides a timeline with section times of coverage etc.

One thing to note is that a Bootcamp course like what you are teaching requires the learner to basically walk in understanding all of the prerequisite material (A+ and Tech+ objectives) and having that recommended experience listed on the objectives. They really are not designed for a beginner in networking who is trying to just get started and doesn’t have that background experience and knowledge.

Make sure you explain this to your students so the know they have to put in effort and study. Yes they will have to read the material and not simply rely on you to read it all for them. Just my $0.02.

Hi Nick, thank you for taking your time to share your '2 cents', much appreciated. I will check the instructor resources as you suggested. Considering your advice, I might have to run two different classes: The 2 weeks for beginners and the one week bootcamp for the more experienced learners. Cheers Nick.

How to get Security+ PPT - Trainer KIT ?

Nick Pierce
These are only available for authorized partner accounts and instructors. If the training partner cannot get them, then they have not set up their account correctly with CompTIA.

As Rick said, they will need to contact CompTIA and get a representative assigned to them as an institution to assist.

Did Not Receive CertMaster Codes for SecAI+ and CySA+

P
Stephen Schneiter said:
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.
