Are There New Requirements for CompTIA Trainers?

Michael Schmitz
dilbertprof said:
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?

Are There New Requirements for CompTIA Trainers?

JD DeJesus
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.

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.

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
Click to expand...
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?

Vouchers

Raydo Matthee
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.
