Good morning,

I haven’t received the Data+ V2 voucher yet and was just checking to see if they’ve been sent out.

Thank you!
Tracey

I have seen a demo of a computer hardware simulation in the TTT series. It was some type of game that have simulation used to connect peripheral devices, cables etc . If you know about this game name, please provide a link.

Thank you in advance

I finally buckled down and took the Linux+ and passed it today. It took some extra study but after I let the 005 get away from me I swore to myself I wouldn't let it happen again. HUGE thanks to @Stephen Schneiter, Jason Eckert's great TTT and the amazing CIN network for the voucher. Watching the expiration timer tick down on it gave me the kick in the pants I needed to finish!

Hello

I may be required to teach the Tech+ . I am looking for the option to get instructor material such as the instructor PDF and PowerPoint slides.

Which of these do I pick?

Hey fellow Linux+ candidates

I wanted to share a free resource that’s been super helpful in my prep for the XK0-006 exam: Skunkworks Academy Linux+ Mock Exam Tool

It’s a browser-based readiness tracker that lets you:

• Run randomized assessments (20–25 questions recommended)
• Track your best and latest scores locally
• Identify domain gaps across all exam objectives
• Export/import your progress between machines

Tip: For a realistic exam feel, set it to “Timed = Yes” and “Show answers = No.”

It’s not a replacement for hands-on labs, but it’s great for quick self-checks and building confidence. If you’ve tried it, I’d love to hear your thoughts or suggestions for improvement!

Happy studying and good luck to everyone aiming for Linux+

Hi everyone,

I’m a member of the CompTIA Instructor Network (CIN) and I’m planning my CE renewals. Before I purchase any continuing education resources, I wanted to ask:

Do CIN members receive discounts on CE renewal materials or tools?
For example, the Security+ CertMaster CE is currently listed at around $200 — is there an instructor discount available through CIN for this or similar products?

If there are specific procedures or promo codes that CIN members should use to access these discounts, I’d really appreciate details.

Thanks in advance!
Nick

Hello colleagues,
I passed the SecurityX (CAS-005) exam today 07-01-26. It was challenging but I managed to get through it successfully.

Hello CINers

Good to say I found out time to take both Competency Assessment and passed on first attempt - completed the learning path via the courseware which will suffice for knowledge acquisition

had issue completing the learning path , for some persons that dont see some items load or with the new courseware update cant get up to 100% completion, please do try a different browser. switched from chrome to edge and it worked for me - loaded all items and finished learning in Dec.

Though this isnt a credly badge based achievement- it validates skills in AI basics and prompting. comes with a sharable and verifiable cert/link + this competency doesn't expire( I guess it should)

Above are my thoughts -

Big thanks to @Stephen Schneiter @Nick Pierce #1 for putting this together.

Hello Guys,
Has Anyone of you received Linux+ V8 Exam vouchers? I haven't received it yet.
is there anything have to do?

What is the progress of Security 8+

For those heading to the TCEA Convention & Exposition in San Antonio next week, be sure to drop by our StackFord booth #1963.

If you are an IT teacher, we are also right around the corner from CompTIA. Jared will be at the booth, great guy. I worked with him while I was in the classroom, and he was amazing to my students and me.

Hi everyone

Until last month, the link to the CompTIA IT Certifications Roadmap below worked very well. I always used this in CompTIA Data+ classes to encourage my students to go further for professional development:


I navigated to this link today and it takes me to this page:


Has the IT certification roadmap been hosted somewhere else or has it been removed altogether? It was a very useful resource.

Anyone know (or where can I keep updated) about the new version of CYSA+? I see the Exam Objectives are in "Draft" mode...just wondering if we have a ballpark release date yet for the TTT, course and beta exam?

Hello Guys,
Has Anyone of you received Linux+ V8 Exam vouchers? I haven't received it yet.
If no,
Do you have any idea when we will receive it?

Regards

We have an ongoing training and we need a certified Comptia Security X instructor with a deep knowledge of HacktheBox modules for penetration testing

Hi, please can anyone check if the Core1 labs is working? I tried in different devices is not loading since 09:00 AM UK time zone.

When is the new version of Security+ TTT going to be scheduled? I am teaching a 701 class currently, but know it is scheduled to be updated again.

I see the CompTIA SecAI+ is scheduled to launch on February 17, 2026, Is there going to be TTT for it? If so is there a current estimated timeline?

This question is wrongly stated or is wrongly answered.
My logic is as follows:
With Microsoft Exchange on a corporate smartphone, the user can expect to sync:
- Email
- Contacts
- Calendar
So the answers should be text boxes to select 3 options.
Texts (SMS) do not sync through Microsoft Exchange.
So the correct synced items are Email, Contacts, and Calendar.

What do you think?

Hello All,

One of my students brought this to my attention, and I am passing it along as it appears to be a newly added resource on 9/3/25(per the metadata on PDF). Some
months ago I recall many wanted an ebook for this course, not sure if that’s the official intent of this resource, but it is a 737 page PDF of the Perform without the labs and videos. It is located under the 3 vertical dots menu (see photos), at the very bottom
under Resources>Reference>Course PDF.

Passed CompTIA Tech+: It’s always beneficial to revisit foundational courses periodically—they help keep your skills sharp and ensure you stay current in the rapidly evolving world of technology.
