I'm not sure how CompTIA is going to address this - perhaps deferring that out to the publishers like Cengage and Pearson, which will probably continue to write text books for those environments that still want them.

Thanks @Rick Butler
This sounds like a good opportunity for book authorships. ;)

Typo in instructor guide

I hope not. I really like having an instructor and student guide, even in PDF format. Makes it easier to reference them for the students, and for me.

I brought these points up at Summit and that's definitely the case. I also enjoy having the PDF books, but I think that will just mean you'll have to find your textbook solution with one of the traditional publishers. It makes sense that CompTIA is going to put their content delivery through the platform, since that's effectively what LabSim was.

@Stephen Schneiter and @Rick Butler - is there a material re: changes to the CompTIA course content, that moving forward there will be no offline access?

You should be able to get access to the content through the platform. I have reached out to the Customer Success Manager, Leon Cawsey [email protected], for your region and gave him situation. He will need your training org so he can match correctly. It was not in your CIN profile so I could not help him much. You should be receiving email from him.

Leon will be the best to answer your questions about PDFs. I agree with @Rick Butler, I do not think they are available.

Sorry, you are having to manage this with the honeymoon! But, I hope you are able to enjoy the time.

Thanks Stephen. I spoke to @Becky Mann about this during Summit. She really wanted to know why schools were insisting on having textbooks still. I can see that CompTIA would probably rather focus the effort into Certmaster Perform, but I think a lot of folks will wonder about this.

On the plus side, it will help the mainstream publishers like Cengage and Pearson when they produce textbooks, methinks. I think the offline component is a major concern for folks.

@DougBrooks - congratulations on your nuptials.

@Stephen Schneiter and @Rick Butler - is there a material re: changes to the CompTIA course content, that moving forward there will be no offline access?

I thought that CertMaster Perform is an additional platform, with labs etc, then there will still be the CertMaster Learn and ebooks. (?)

Perhaps Support would be your best bet, although I don't see much to happen with that, since the next revision of Security+ will deliver through CertMaster Perform, so the guides themselves will go away, I'm thinking.

Thank you Rick for the reply, off line learning is something that our learners find really useful, I can understand the need to encourage learners to use the online platform as we can teach progress etc, but for those moments.when you want to brush up on something it's a faff to log in and find the content you need say on a mobile.

Congrats on the nuptials!

So, Tech+ isn't going to have a PDF like before. All of the materials for certifications that CompTIA is updating are getting pushed into CertMaster Perform - so one of the biggest changes - no books like we had before - at least that's my understanding. Offline learning was something that seemed to be an unanswered request from what I saw at conference.

I'm not sure if the transition guide is out there somewhere yet - but then, I've not had a moment to even look.

@Stephen Schneiter might be able to fill in a couple holes here.

CompTia AI contents

Erik said:
I read about CompTIA AI but this not recognize in my present living country. Wonder CompTIA Expansions content is much deeper enough for professional beside basic, should have content such as LLM or Adversarial.

Or I missed something about this?

If I read your question correctly, you're wondering about the Expansions that CompTIA is doing. Essentially, I see these as addenda to the regular certs that are being offered, so probably not like a 'deeper on a particular topic' or a self-standing cert. I like to think of it as say adding a couple more domains to a standing certification.

I'm sure CompTIA is listening for ideas on Expansions for certs - since this is the first foray into this idea.

Comptia tech+ still not available?

Hi Guys, I/we are in a bit of a bind as I am due to start delivering this course from the 23rd of this month.

With the courseware date being pushed back to yesterday (04/07 UK) from its intended August release date the time for prep was going to be ok, but after its no show yesterday I am a little concerned, especially as I do not have access to the pre-release materials to prepare myself with.

The reason time is so tight is that I fly out on our honeymoon tomorrow afternoon and do not return until the day before I am due to deliver it, all would have been fine, but now...... :(


Can we please have an update as to when it is actually going live, or can someone who has the pre-release PDF so I can read it on the flight please share it

Thank you
