Hi all, like the title says, I'm going back to training after a break and have some questions.
1. I have the original A+ and Sec+ that never expire as well as other versions that did expire. I've taught both those classes over a couple dozen times each, do I need to take the latest exams?
2. I had the CTT+ which was discontinued, are there any Train the Trainer replacements needed?
3. I never took Net+ because my multiple MCSA, MCSE and MCITP certs were considered higher level and so Net+ wasn't required. I've taught that class countless times as well, will I need to pass the newest exam?

Want to get back on the horse, thanks for any information you can give.

1. The original A+ and Sec+ are over 20 years old. I'd suggest you take the most current versions just to make sure you're fully aware of all the changes that have appeared since then.

2. There is no replacement for the CTT+. Microsoft has the MCT. ISACA has the Authorized Instructor program. ISC2 has the Authorized Instructor Program. Cisco has the Certified Cisco Systems Instructor. But each one of those is for their own vendor-specific training. CompTIA currently has nothing.

3. MCSA, MCSE, and MCITP have nothing to do with Network+. I have all of those too. Aside from the fact that they are completely outdated certifications, they don't cover the same content as Network+. Get the latest version.

Congrats sir.

I am pleased to announce that I have successfully completed the CompTIA SecAI+ exam, achieving a score of 900. This achievement represents a meaningful milestone in my ongoing commitment to continuous learning and professional development in the rapidly evolving field of AI security.

I would like to extend my sincere appreciation to the Train-the-Trainer (TTT) sessions, which provided invaluable insights and practical knowledge that significantly deepened my understanding of AI security concepts. The on-demand study materials were exceptionally well-structured and played a crucial role in my exam preparation.

A very special thank you to Stephen Schneiter for giving me the opportunity to participate in this program and for providing the exam voucher. Your support and commitment to helping learners succeed are truly appreciated.

I also appreciate CompTIA for developing a certification that addresses the growing importance of securing AI systems and applying AI responsibly in today's cybersecurity landscape.

I look forward to building on this achievement and applying these insights to real-world challenges at the intersection of AI and cybersecurity.

It is important to have latest certification because a lot has changed.

Hi Folks, I will post updates on the voucher distribution in this thread. We did make a few changes in effort to try and speed up the distribution. I will post as soon as I hear a date that the emails will go out with the vouchers.

Patiently waiting

Hi @DougBrooks, no, the vouchers have not gone out yet. The series just ended yesterday. I mentioned during the series that we would pull attendance records today and begin processing. There are several steps involved in requesting approval for a large number of vouchers, then the Data team will validate and assign vouchers. I am hoping we will see distribution in the next two weeks.

Thank you for your patience as we work through the process.

Thank you

I have never used CompTIA for certifying my high school students. However, TestOut was good (in my opinion) so here I am. What are the pro's and con's for those of you with experience doing so with CompTIA? Does the training provided align with the certification exam? What is your typical pass rate? Do you have someone (like a Rep) I can contact for pricing? Or this there an online form to request a Quote? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Hi @Stonecipher Tiffany, I shared your post with @Travis WIlde, your CompTIA contact. Travis also used to work with TestOut. Travis will be a great contact to answer your questions about CertMaster solutions and CompTIA certifications. Travis will reach out to you.

Hi everyone

I'm Seang from AICA Academy in Phnom Penh, Cambodia — a new CIN member and a newly licensed private academy focused on AI, cybersecurity, and IT certification training.

I submitted our application to become a CompTIA Training Delivery Partner about 8 days ago via the partner form at comptia.org/en-us/partner/ but have not received any reply yet. I also tried following up via [email protected] but received an error — the email bounced back.

Could anyone in the community advise:

What is the correct contact email or route to follow up on a Training Delivery Partner application from a non-US / international institution?

Is there a dedicated APAC regional contact I should reach out to directly?

Has anyone else experienced delays after submitting the partner form, and how did you resolve it?

Any guidance from experienced CIN members or CompTIA staff would be greatly appreciated. Happy to share more about AICA Academy if helpful — we are very committed to bringing CompTIA certifications to Cambodia and the wider ASEAN region.

Seang,
We just had a national holiday here in the US, our 250th Independence Day celebration on July 4th, so it may take a little longer than normal to get back to you.

I'm a CompTIA Instructor. The new CertMaster products incorporate TestOut technologies and support both competency and certification learning paths.
If you send me an email from your school account at [email protected], I can try to connect you with your representative.

Based on the draft exam objectives, I predict SY0-801 will be harder. I noticed several adds (AI) and refinements (some GRC topics have moved to Operations) but few deletes (deprecated protocols). Add to that the trend towards scenario-based questions in all CompTIA exams, and it will be interesting.

Looking forward to it ,will have to wait and see.

Congrats! In your opinion, is this a certificate test something a high school student would be successful with? I am a Teacher trying to determine if this assessment will be a good fit for one of my classes. Best of luck in the future!

Nope this cert requires some bit of experience in the cyber industry. Unless let them have a year or so doing practicals, so they can get on their feet.

Hi Team,

I was looking to resume learning / study for the CyberDefense Pro v2 courseware.

I do not see this courseware listed.

Anyone experiencing the same, or perhaps a suggestion on what I need to click on / accept / something?

I have created a help ticket, so pending that I may revist this thread and update / advise.

Thanks all!

happy trails!

Well, you just have to delete "Cookies and site data" then reload with the new link, it should work without problem, you'll need to do so for all sessions you'll watch, else use private table everytime you want to watch a new session

Thank you! But I've already tried this, it still did not work

Rick Butler · Jul 9, 2026

Right...but...the question I was wondering had to do with the rules for who got to be a Pearson VUE TA. Pearson is saying no to anyone who holds a current CompTIA cert. CompTIA's information says there is a six month wait period before or after taking an exam. Pearson's change came about in March, which seems to suggest that it's going to be the former - and CompTIA hasn't updated their website.
