Voucher Usage

Hello mates, Trust we are all good, happy new year, I am currently surprised here because Nothing like the thrill of an unexpected pre-exam puzzle: Why is this voucher I've been safeguarding like Gollum already redeemed? A true test of patience before the test 🤧🤧, I Just tried to use my exam voucher and the system says it's already been redeemed. Has this happened to anyone else? @Stephen Schneiter Please sir help look into this.

Hiring CompTIA A+ Instructors

Hello,

We're recruiting part-time (with opportunity for full-time), remote CompTIA A+ trainers to teach virtual classes (daytime) to adult learners (18 - 25) in the Eastern U.S. time zone. The first opportunity is coming up in January. If you are interested, please email us at [email protected] with details about your qualifications. We will share additional information via email before scheduling calls.

Thanks.

Instructor Material

Out Side of the pricy material that we can get from CompTIA, is there any other options for up to date instructor material. As of now I have been using the older Power Points from Total Sim for the 1100 series that I have been updating by hand to include all the new 1200 information. Total Sim informed us today that they will not be producing any more instructor material for any level of certifications.

  • Question
How can I get a free voucher or a discounted voucher for the Security+ examination ?

Good evening,

I am an adjunct professor at Bronx Community College in the Cybersecurity department. I would like to go for the Security+ exam. Will I get any discount to buy the voucher, or is there a possibility to get a free voucher to give the exam? I am planning to sit for the exam on January 10th or 15th. Please let me know.

Regards,
Sumon

Where can I find official CompTIA Network+ training slides (TTT access)?

Hello,

I have official CompTIA TTT / Training access for Network+.
Could you please confirm where I can find the official instructor training slides (PPT/PDF)?

I currently have access to:
- CertMaster Learn
- Labs / practice materials

However, I am looking specifically for:
- Official Network+ instructor slides
- Downloadable PPT or PDF materials (if available)

Additionally, if recorded videos of the TTT session are available, could you please let me know where I can access them or share the relevant links?

Are these slides and videos available in CompTIA Central, CertMaster, or a separate Instructor Resource portal?

Thank you for your support.

Holding AI Accountable

Mr. Pierce mentioned in his CIN TTT AI Essentials course the idea of holding LLMs responsible.

Here is an interesting legal suit that will set some legal precedent --
