I did attend the 220-1201 and 220-1202 and had to go buy my own vouchers due to training comments. So still no vouchers. I have completed the Linux+ and in 6 weeks need to run a class DOES THAT MEAN I WILL NEED TO BUY MY OWN LINUX+ FOR THIS SESSION?? WE ARE FALLING BEHIND
I took the Linux+ course but I had a fusion, I still watched all the videos, need to take the class which I have my own but it takes a bit as there's a lot of people in the classes. This was my first one I've taken as a TTT, technology doesn't move that fast. AWS sure didn't, expect some wait times or ask in a message politely?

Totally agree, @Gregory Childers — contribution should be a core part of the voucher ecosystem. If we want to elevate CIN beyond a freebie portal, we need a clear framework that rewards meaningful engagement.

Here’s a thought: what if we outlined high-priority instructor contributions that deliver immediate value to the community and help justify voucher allocation? Things like:

  • 🧠 Sharing teaching strategies, annotated slides, or visual metaphors for tough topics
  • 📦 Uploading labs, worksheets, or branded onboarding guides
  • 🗣️ Answering questions, welcoming new members, or hosting study groups
  • 📊 Reviewing shared resources or offering feedback on CompTIA tools
  • 🌍 Promoting CIN locally or sharing success stories from the field
We could even gamify it — badges, dashboards, or a modular tracker to spotlight top contributors. That way, vouchers become part of a value loop, not just a handout.

Happy to help blueprint something if others are keen. Let’s build a community that teaches, shares, and scales.

Academic Pricing

Is anyone else having issues with academic pricing no longer available in their profile account at store.comptia.org? We bulk order vouchers for our students but all of the sudden I no longer have academic pricing available and my profile lists me as a student.
Are you logged into the CompTIA store with an account that is tied to your Partner status? For example, if you are an academic partner, you should be using your .EDU account. If it's not working like that, I'd probably reach out to your Business Development Manager and see if something is up with that.

Hi Rick not shouting just saying what happened just making statement no shouting in future wont say a word and I have been buying vouchers and will continue to do so going forward. This a free option so it would not be my place to shout as its a service that I did not pay for.
In past I bought vouchers and did not wait. Like 220-1201 and 220-1202 I bought those as I had a class.
Thanks for clarifying - just that when you type in ALL CAPS, it gives the inference of shouting.

Vouchers

I have long believed that CompTIA should add one more requirement for the free vouchers.

People should actually contribute to the CIN community. Not just sign up, never post, and then demand free vouchers.
I would totally agree with that, although we might also see an uptick in garbage posting - and we don't want to go through all that again.

Wow, dude. A bit much for a service that CompTIA offers instructors - for free. There are no expectations of when vouchers will come.

Passed the CompTIA A+ 220-1201 (Core 1) and 220-1202 (Core 2)

Bonjour les CINers

J'ai passé environ une semaine à préparer et à rédiger les deux examens après avoir réalisé que j'avais pas mal d'examens à jeter avant la fin de l'année 2025.

- J'ai utilisé les supports de cours et les diapositives de CertMaster Perform pour me préparer.

J'ai passé les deux examens à environ sept jours d'intervalle.

- Chaque examen commence par environ 5 questions chronométrées (environ 10 minutes chacune) et beaucoup d'autres questions pièges, puis passe à des questions à choix multiples beaucoup plus faciles.

Merci
Congratulations Bro

Wow, dude. A bit much for a service that CompTIA offers instructors - for free. There are no expectations of when vouchers will come.

It usually takes about 6-8 weeks on the short side for vouchers to process. Much of the time, Stephen has to process this on his own - amidst all his other responsibilities at CompTIA. There is a long vetting process that is done within CompTIA, the order process, all of it. So if you have to do a class in six weeks and you need to take an exam, then you might have to go get your own Voucher.

Yelling into the CIN community isn't going to make anything go any faster.

If it is that important that the Trainer has to be certified, they should pay for the Exam and not wait for the TTT Voucher.. They may ask their Business Manager for a Free Voucher. But so, do not complain here. But Rick, maybe we are already to long around to know the rules, while others just sign up, because it it free...

CompTIA AutoOps+

Yeah, that's geezer speak for sure. But I can't say that. Living in a dry climate like Colorado means I either to take out a mortgage on my house to water my dirt and weeds, or allow it to become "natural-scaped".
Well I live in a rented condo in the Greater Toronto Hamilton Area so I don't have a lawn... but when I sit on the balcony smoking cigars I do yell at any delivery driver who tries to park in the reserved parking spots, so I think that qualifies?

CompTIA AutoOps+

I applied and it said I was too old. :) Apparently the Unix and DEC gave me away.
DEC? That's not old, that crosses into "venerable" territory, but only *slightly* before my time.

The positive aspect of being "old" is rather than having to understand the meaning of new terms like AutoOps, I can simply resort to Google and "prompt" it for a definition that makes sense. See https://www.autoops.com/ .......
Ask Google? Heh... one can only speculate what you might get from Google's form of Skynet, brother. You might have better luck with desiccated chicken bones on a trash can lid.

Lol. I'm older than you!
Exactly my point. Although my creaky self still has to do the gym 3x per week, lest I am reduced to a pile of dust with a black fedora sitting thereupon.

We both are... now get off my lawn!
