Ahh thank you for looping us in, it also happened to one of us, with the same DataX voucher failing to redeem, later finding out that they sent a duplicate Cloud plus voucher as DataX voucher. I would suggest you compare that voucher with other vouchers you received around the time, it might also happen to be.

Can I pick your brains for a minute?

And before you suggest it--I've already reached out to Stephen, so no need to suggest this. But I figured y'all might be able to help me solve this issue to lighten the load on Stephen a bit.

I'm trying to use my DataX TTT voucher that expires Nov 30. Went to register to take the exam on Nov 24, but when I entered the voucher, I got an error message:

Discount validation failed.

This voucher cannot be used with this exam.

Any ideas what might be wrong or how/if I could fix this? I've triple checked to confirm I'm using the correct voucher for the correct exam.

It's been ages since I spoke to the UK business rep, but I'll probably have to. In short, ever since the changes to the shop, I've lost all the discounts. Not that I need 'm because I stopped selling vouchers, but the point stands.

Might be a good idea, methinks. I don't talk to our BDM that much these days - generally when something breaks.

Hey all! Would anyone mind posting the rest of the links? I have emails with links to sessions 1, 3, and 5 but nothing else in my inbox. Also, I thought there was a repo of the video links at one time but maybe I'm misremembering? TIA!

The CompTIA CTT+ Train-the-Trainer class was always my favorite class to teach. I was disappointed when it was discontinued. I was able to get my CompTIA CTT+ as well as my vCTT+ (you only need one or the other). Since the certification was discontinued, I had many people ask me about teaching the class but it made no sense without the accompanying certification.
I do hope that CompTIA decides to bring it back soon. I would love to be involved in updating it and bringing it back. Before the exam was discontinued, I had reached out to Joseph Phillips about updating his book and he said if he did, I could help him. However, it fell through with the exam discontinuation. If they do bring it back, I would suggest that the exam be based only on the video presentation and not require a CBT exam. Cheers to all.

I beleive the CTT is gone for good and a return maybe have a 0% Chance (imho). The Reason (already posted in different Threads) are that not enough did the Exam ( i never heard it running in Germany)
The Costs where to high, the External Review Process consuming and maybe not efficient.
Who still recognizes the CTT? I did take it, because it expired and is good for life. Did i need it really? No, Was it worth it? Not really.

So, there are other Topics in IT World that promise more revenue for Course / Exams then a new CTT.
So, still i believe, that ship has sailed.

Maybe CompTIA could do a similar program to Microsoft. I have a Microsoft MCT certification which required me to have taught certain courses to get it. No test, and every year, I would have to pay a fee to renew it along with teaching at least 1 course from a prescribed list of courses. I also have the requirement to have passed the latest exam for one of the organizations I teach for.

A lot here are also MCT as well, or where at some Point. How Microsoft handels this Programm changes every 2-3 year at least. The Fee does not prevent to many becoming an MCT. Do not forget, CompTIA would need to implement the Programm with Process, Personal and Reviewing all that Stuff? If that is worth it? And in Case you teach on a public School, you may have also to prove your Teaching Skills anyway..

Even CompTIA never required CompTIA Trainers to have the CTT as prerequisit.. Ever thought about that?

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.

Do you have access to CertMaster? They do have a handy spreadsheet that allows you to mark it for as few or many weeks as you need for a study plan path.

I see that there was a "Course pacing plan" for the older editions of the A+ exams, is there a new one for the current exams?
