CASP+ and Pentest+++

Hello @Tom.Schultz, I just noticed that it does not look like your question was ever answered and wanted to throw my two-cents out there. Yes, the Xpert series will update lower ranking certs in the pathway, so SecurityX will update PenTest+ and below. As far as the training material and TTT series for SecurityX will be released, I am still waiting on official announcement from the Product Development team. However I am expecting a November launch time frame for both.

I hope this helps. Apologies for the delay.
Thanks! I appreciate the follow-up. I'm trying to pull together study materials so I can be ready by March to take the exam and I don't want to invest in study materials that will be obsolete and go in unprepared.

Free Complete Training for CompTIA Security+ (SY0-701) in Urdu/Hindi – Empowering Future Cybersecurity Professionals

Dear Colleagues,

I’m excited to announce that I have prepared a complete training course for CompTIA Security+ (SY0-701) in Urdu/Hindi, and it is entirely free!

This course covers all domains of the Security+ certification, along with hands-on exercises, designed to equip learners with essential cybersecurity skills. My aim is to support individuals who face challenges in affording expensive training programs or struggle with language barriers, giving them access to high-quality education that can help them succeed in the cybersecurity industry.

I truly believe that this initiative will make a significant impact, especially for students and young professionals who have the potential but lack the financial resources or language support to pursue their goals. This free training is an opportunity for them to gain the knowledge and tools required to excel in the field and advance their careers.

I encourage you to share this with your students and community members who could benefit from it. Together, we can empower the next generation of cybersecurity professionals and help them overcome the barriers they face.

Free Comprehensive Training on CompTIA CySA+ (CS0-003) in Urdu/Hindi – Empowering Our Youth

Dear Colleagues,

I am excited to share a complete training course for CompTIA CySA+ (CS0-003) that I’ve prepared in Urdu/Hindi, and the best part – it’s completely free!

This course covers all domains of the certification along with hands-on exercises to equip learners with the skills required to succeed in the cybersecurity industry.
My goal is to support students who may struggle with costly training programs or face language barriers, ensuring they have access to the knowledge and tools needed to thrive in this field.

I believe this initiative will be especially beneficial for those who wish to pursue a career in cybersecurity but are held back due to financial constraints or the lack of resources in their native language. By providing them with this course, we are giving them the opportunity to build a solid foundation in cybersecurity and move one step closer to a rewarding career.

I kindly encourage you to share this with your students and anyone who could benefit from it. Let’s work together to help our youth overcome these challenges and achieve success in the cybersecurity world!

I need clear explanation this

Just passed my Linux+

Wow! I just passed my Linux+ test. I don't know why but I spend more time preparing for this exam when compared with my Pentest+ and CySA+, I was kind of intimidated by the fact that the vast majority of these questions you were not able to do an educated guess, you needed to know the commands. The best thing is that I got medium high 700's for the other tests and the Linux+ I got 822, still lower than my 885 on Security+ but damn, I was going in and out since February! This is a credential I make sure not to loose cause I don't want to take that test again!!!!!!!!!!!

Comptia tech+ still not available?

CompTIA is investing more in online resources for instructor teaching aids. I have been told that you can still get PDF instructor guides from CertMaster; however, they are hoping to discontinue this service in the future. I would recommend having a conversation with Customer Success Managers, as they can help provide information and note specific needs.

One tool that folks should look at is the Accessibility Document. It is listed in the Teaching Aid area under Reference. The accessibility guide is a PDF of all the course content, including questions, lab instructions, etc. ?

Thanks @Stephen Schneiter
I'll look for accessibility documents, moving forward.

Professional Development

Can anyone provide information on where to get past professional development training on the CompTIA’s website?
Hi @RodneyJackson, if you are talking about past TTT series, you may want to check out the Resources area here. If you are looking for another form of professional development, give me a little more info as to what you are looking for and we can see where to go.

  • Question
CertMaster Network+ Instructional Strategies Toolkit - instructional videos

Does anyone know if we are allowed to embed the instructional videos that are found in the Instructional Strategies Toolkit into our courses? According to the guide, "The following instructional videos are designed to support instruction of Module 1 concepts and may be used as an instructional resource for learners or as a primer for instructors."

I can't find a way to get at the source code for the video and these do not show up as a selection when creating LTI links to the material from within our LMS.

Have you received the Network+ voucher yet?

Hello @Redwaan Maxamed, if you attended the Network+ TTT series there is no need to sign up for the voucher. We provide vouchers to folks if:
  • attendees are members of CIN (posting here shows you are)
  • attendees are associated with a CompTIA training partner (either full-time or contract)
  • attended all the sessions either live or on-demand
I am still waiting on my voucher order to be fulfilled. I am hoping we can get them this week.
Thank you for the clear explanation

Typo in instructor guide

CompTIA is getting rid of PDF courseware? Say it isn't so!
My wife and I always say when something happens we don't like, that it is just called "progress". This situation kind of reminds me of that popular song from 1979/80 when MTV was coming onto the stage, Video Killed the Radio Star.

Video killed the radio star
Video killed the radio star
In my mind and in my car
We can't rewind, we've gone too far
Pictures came and broke your heart
Put the blame on VCR...

And THAT, is my Friday wisdom! ?

Typo in instructor guide

Yes, I agree! However, reminds me of the classic from
CompTIA is getting rid of PDF courseware? Say it isn't so!
The PDF can still be available for download, but from what I am hearing, CompTIA would like to move away from PDF with all digital content. Time will tell.
