Click to expand...
CompTIA exams have a combination of both PBQ (performance based questions) and multiple choice questions. By the number of questions, there are more multiple choice questions on the exam. This is the normal CompTIA exam format for exams with PBQ’s on them.

However, that should not be read or interpreted as multiple choice questions outweighing the performance based questions for scoring. The CompTIA exam scoring process is not publicly known.

I Missed my SecAI+ online exam schedule

S
Hi, I hope topics like this are allowed in here if not please kindly delete this.

So I missed my online exam schedule. In my defense I'm in the part of the Philippines that got hit hard by a recent earthquake, we are still experiencing after shocks and intermittent power/internet loss. It was a free voucher from the TTT-series but its still a waste that I was not able to take it. I already contacted Pearson Vue hoping they'd consider my situation.

Im just here to ask if there's anything else that I could do to help with my situation
Id appreciate your suggestions thank you.

Stephen Schneiter said:
Hi @shiftry, the emails are tied to attendance for the TTT sessions. So, an email went out after you completed viewing the first session. I am sorry it did not come through. I can send you another copy directly. You should receive an email from me today.

Question about the CertMaster Learn Inclusions in some certifications

Jose A Ruiz Marquez said:
This one can be confusing because CompTIA shuffled the products around in 2024 whan they bought Test Out and things got renamed. What you remember (launching actual VM lab environments right inside CertMaster Learn) was the old "Integrated Learn + Labs" product. That's now called CertMaster Perform.

If your company wants the real hands-on labs, plus text, activities, quizzes and practice exams:
- CertMaster Perform = Learn + the live VM labs in one login (easiest)

I've worked with the Cert Master Perform editions for Network+, Server+, Linux+, Cloud+, Pentest+, CySA, CASP+, Security X and SecAI+. All have labs integrated with all the material mentioned above.

Hope that helps!

Alright, this is good information. Is it possible for me to go to the on-demand TTT sessions for these and secure some codes so I can test them out?

Etre formateur COMPTIA

Rick Butler
CompTIA n'impose aucune exigence particulière pour devenir formateur. La certification CTT+ a été retirée il y a plusieurs années. Il suffit simplement que votre employeur vous désigne comme formateur.

Il est recommandé de détenir la version la plus récente de la certification au moment de dispenser une formation, mais CompTIA ne l'exige pas non plus.

(for our English readers, OP is asking about the requirements to be a CompTIA trainer - I'm explaining that there are no CompTIA specific requirements, that the CTT+ is a retired exam, and really, those requirements come from the employer, not from CompTIA, although it's recommended to have the most updated version of the certification.)

I'm hoping the Community will be able to make use of this, once again. I took quite a long time to get my act together and get it posted, so for that, apologies.

Certmaster access for SecAI+ On Demand

shiftry
Hi Everyone!

I was not able to attend the TTT series for SecAI+ on live so I've been following on demand using the webinar sessions as well as the material in there. I noted something and is the access to certmaster is not longer in the links and @Stephen Schneiter mentioned people will receive the access code after completing the first session even for "on demand" learners.

I've already completed session 1 to 3 (started on Jun 16/2026) and haven't receive anything yet on my email. Does the certmaster access have some type of "valid time"? like, you must access or complete the training up to 15 days of finishing the live sessions?

I appreciate your comments.

Question about the CertMaster Learn Inclusions in some certifications

Reuel Santiago
Hi All,

It has been a while since I used CertMaster, and I'm a little bit confused as to the inclusion/integration of the laboratory aspect. I can distinctly remember being able to launch Virtual Laboratory environments in CertMaster Learn for both A+ and Security+, but much has changed since then (I think this was around 2022, give or take a few years). I've been looking at the product pages and even used the chatbot, but can't get the answer I'm looking for.

Basically, my company is looking into these Certifications:

1. A+ (both cores)
2. Network+
3. Security+
4. Server+
5. Tech+

If we bought just the CertMaster product, which ones would also have an integrated laboratory? For example, in the product page of Network+, it has the following bullet point
  • Extensive practice: Engage with simulated labs, assessments, and questions to reinforce your learning.
So I would assume Network+ CertMaster Learn does have an integrated lab, and there is no need to purchase the standalone laboratory. Is this the same case for the others listed?
