May I check whether any of you have experience in delivering a SecAI+ in class sessions? A request came through and ask for a three days in-class delivery of SecAI+? What is your view and possibility of delivering this in three days? Thanks! Paul Wan

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

I'm trying to access the On Demand Lessons but I can't access the video. I kept on having the error "Login Failed. Please try again.".
I was able to access session 6 a few hour ago. Now I can't get access.
Am I the only one having trouble?

Shea is sooo right here. Before picking up a new certification, you should consider how and when you'll need to recertify to maintain it.

I concur. I earned over 60 different certifications, mostly paid for by employers, because I thought it would help me in two ways:

1. It would mean more certification exam courses I could teach. It turns out that some of them had zero demand for training.
2. They would add to my overall body of knowledge. Honestly, I had the knowledge even without the certification for many of them.

Figure out what you want to do and which certs will get you closer to that goal. All the rest are just distractions.

Good evening, @Stephen Schneiter. Could you please check it when you get time?

After a long study hour and sleepless, nights I finally passed security plus the exam was supper tricky.

And just think, sometime later this year you'll be able to sit for the new SY0-801 exam!

Unless your going to get paid for it. I wouldn't recommend doing certifications "just because". If there is a company hiring a certain skill or your doing consulting and their required for a certain job. Ok, but just getting certs for the sake of it. It's a waste of money and time...time being the most important.

Dude, fantastic signature! I grew up reading SH, and that is one of the main things I attribute most to wanting to specialize in this industry when I heard it was a thing.

that login portal is long gone with the update of the website last year. Here is what's here.

My org budgets "premium" training opportunities for IS staff every-other year and this year it's my turn. I have a couple SANS certs (GCIH, GCPN) already and while I love SANS and think they're great, would really like to diversify my skill set.

I've been looking into the possibility of training with other orgs like OffSec, Hack-the-Box, Arcanium, and Antisyphon (a personal favorite). I love HtB but feel like their certs might be too new for industry-wide recognition if I need to look for employment. I hear OffSec is fantastic but very difficult and that Arcanium is great training (but doesn't offer certs).

For those who would start with "depends on what you're looking to do...", I am looking for a mix of great training and ideally would love to add a cert or more to my resume.

I would love to get some advice from those who have experience training with those and/or other orgs please! What are your success or horror stories?

I have earned the CCAP, CIOS, CNIP, CNSP, CNVP, CSAE, CSAP, CSCP, CSIE, CSIS stackable certifications, but I don't list the badges on my LinkedIn profile. I recently did an inventory of my 60+ certifications and cleaned off all but the most essential.

Shea Bennett · Jul 8, 2026

Not to rain on the parade, but I have been waiting for mine since 2024 ;-)

@Stephen Schneiter Have the Voucher codes for CySA+ v.4 TTT been released yet? I haven't seen one arrive in my email yet.

Abu-Hamzah · Jul 8, 2026

@sirithanatharathorn, yes, you can get access to training materials without enrolling in a class, further the class will have a start and end date, after the class ends joining won't be possible it seems.

shaify · Jul 8, 2026

Happy to share that I have cleared A+ Core 1 and Core 2 certifications successfully. Thank you @Stephen Schneiter for wonderful TTT series and ongoing support to mentors

It is typically a few weeks after the cutoff date for watching on-demand. I am hopeful for early August myself given past experiences.

Hello @samberumen , @Tess Sluijter , @Fanuel @precious

Apologies for the delay, I was traveling for another training.

Our initial trainer stopped responding right before the contract and first payment. We are happy to proceed with an English-speaking trainer instead (our timezone is UTC+2).

Given the delay, we will fully adapt to their schedule, even if they can only do two sessions next week. Please let me know if this works for you.Or, if you know someone who can do this, please let me know.

Thanks for Contacting me through Grace the CompTIA Southern Africa Business Development Manager.

Fanuel · Jul 7, 2026

If I am not wrong, you need to access the CompTIA Delivery Partner Website at https://www.comptia.org/en/partner/ or contact your regional CompTIA Business Development Manager for assistance.

So, we have PV Test Centers within our schools. The rules at https://www.comptia.org/en-us/resources/test-policies/proctor-policies/ stipulate the six-month rule that prevents anyone who has taken an exam in the last six months must wait before he/she can be a PV Test Administrator, and six months after resigning as a TA before taking another CompTIA exam. Makes sense to me.

However:

The latest TA guide from Pearson, however stipulates this in Section 2.2:

...which means if you hold a CompTIA cert, you can't proctor an exam.

Now, the latest guidance from Pearson came out on March 20. It could be that CompTIA hasn't got around to updating their policy page, but this might be a good question to ask any organization here on CIN that might also have their own Test Center.

Anyone from CompTIA want to kick this up the chain?
