Hi Mitch thanks more insights on this. Sad day today i have failed my CloudNetX , spent Usd527, is there any possibilities to get voucher for second sitting?

I am not sure how I could help you with this...? If you work with a CompTIA partner I would reach out to them, but I do not have $527 to donate to your cause.

I have been fortunate in that most of my exams over the last few years have been paid for by training partners, but even when I was paying them out of pocket I remembered that every exam is an investment in my career, and if I do not have a certification then I cannot teach the class.

Good luck to you!

Sorry to hear about your test fail - that is very discouraging and disappointing, no doubt. Hopefully, you don't give up - but rather, keep at it.

If you just bought the first voucher straight, rather than the voucher+retake bundle, then probably not likely. If you are part of an Academic Partner, you can reach out to your rep and perhaps get a voucher that way. Beyond that, there aren't a lot of options available to you for a retake, apart from getting another voucher.

Good luck!

I wanted to check whether anyone has received their exam voucher after attending all six sessions.
My understanding was that distribution would take place within about a week of the final session.
Are there delays? Is there a specific process for submitting attendance records to ensure the voucher is issued?

Could you share the most effective strategies and recommended resources for preparing to successfully pass the CompTIA SecAI+ exam?
Click to expand...
Honestly, I took the exam on Feb 20 2026 and passed.
I only had access to the exam objectives.
Went thru each item in the objectives, if I didn’t know about it, I googled it and did that for the entire objectives then took the exam.
I ended up with a 718 score which only 600 was needed, I thought the exam itself was not very hard after just studying the exam objectives, since then I’ve gotten access to the courseware and went thru the class and thought, this is spot on. So if you have access to the materials, that will be enough alongside the exam objectives to pass the exam.

Why recertify?

Mitch Garvis
Gregory Childers said:
Some training companies practically give away the classes just to keep clients happy. And the ones who have to suffer for it are the trainers, who are actually doing all the work. I finally set weekly minimums of what I would accept for an on-site class and a virtual class. Depending upon the class, technical trainers should be charging $75/hr minimum for a class. I was getting $125+/hr for some classes. For on-site classes, I would also charge T/E.

And if someone wants me to take the most recent version of a certification I already hold, they should pay for the voucher. Because, as far as CompTIA is concerned, my certification is still active (most of them are good through 2031). They don't ask me to retake my CISM or CISSP, even though new versions have been released. The policy should be the same for CompTIA exams.

So true... and nobody asks us to retake our CISM or CISSP because nobody is GIVING those classes away... and frankly, I am not sure if we would even be able to take the latest versions once we hold the cert?

Mitch: I think your best point settles on student empathy. You can be the very best trainer in the world and carry an encyclopedic knowledge of the course material and 15 years history before that...

...and still suck as an instructor.

In fact, I have a Top Ten somewhere in my files "The Top Ten Indicators that you Suck As an Instructor". I should dig that out.

Meanwhile, relating to the students where they are, to me, is the most essential aspect to real instruction. You have to connect with them where they are, not where you are or even where you want them to be, which may contrast to something that Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe postulated about instruction.

The classroom is a crossroad. Every student comes from somewhere, every student is going somewhere. But for that moment, they are all in your classroom. The more that we as educators can get the concept of empathy, the better off we will be - and the better off the learners will be too.

Good post, pal.

Thank you! Very well said though... I love the crossroads analogy. I would love to read your Top Ten! :)

This rings so true. Now, I only focus on certifications required for consulting or my actual job. When you get started out, your chasing it all, but when you learn how time consuming studying is and balancing having a life with a family; plus, getting older. You just loose interest in sitting there for hours and weeks to take an exam not required by anyone that pays you actual money.

I would, again, start with your Business Development Manager and perhaps look into becoming an Authorized Partner. (https://partners.comptia.org). It might be more difficult if you're just a single person doing something, vs perhaps being a business entity, but that's perhaps how I would get started.

Has anyone received the exam voucher after participaing in all 6 sessions? Also, any idea on where we could send the proofs of participation in case the exam voucher fails to arrive soon?

I remember being mentioned in the last session that the vouchers will be sent somewhere around 7-10 days after session #6.
