Yesterday I started the CompTIA CloudNetX CNX-001 TTT Session 1 and was rushed, and felt that I would be able to do much better with it watching the "on demand" at an increased speed. With that observation, I left the meeting where the instructor I believe had stated the 'on-demand' would be available likely within an hour of the course completion.

it is now the next day, and I still have no access to the prep exam.

CompTIA has released CloudNetX Certificate for passed users. It has just been available in Certmetrics.

Hello all,
I have a small group of younger future IT pros and I would like to train them for CompTIA exams. How can I get started?

I am certified in A+ and Security+ and I am currently working towards my CySA+ and have 10+ years of (public and private sector) experience. I recently created my own program to carry out my goal to advocate for IT.

Thank you!

Dear folks,

I was sharing the information about renewing Network+ (N10-009) certification using CEUs with my class, and noticed the required CEUs are missing on the website.
(Has the required CEUs changed for the current exam?)


I attached a screenshot of the previous version N10-008 below.

It is time to get down to the essentials! Join CIN and special guest Henry Mann as we explore the CompTIA Essentials series. We will take a deeper look into Essentials, and get an exclusive preview of some of the exciting learning innovations that will be coming in future Essentials courses.

anyone up there can provide me link to access Certmaster network+ Lab ?

I have no ideas how to access Certmaster network+ Lab in CIN , could someone provide me step by step ? highly appreciated

I took the CloudNetX beta exam in August 2024. Earlier in February 2025, I received an email from CompTIA stating that I had passed the exam.

As of the start of March 2025, the CompTIA CloudNetX still does not show up in my list of certifications on the CompTIA portal. It doesn't even show up in my history of exams on the CompTIA portal, even though it does show up on the Pearson Vue web site, along with a score report.

Does anyone know what is the issue delaying the update to the CompTIA portal?

I am having challenges getting a date on Pearsonvue to book for an online exams. I have been trying all time weekend

I've found that students often struggle with practical applications of pentesting tools. One way I make this easier is by using Kali Linux labs to demonstrate real-world scenarios. For example, I set up a vulnerable machine using Metasploitable and have students practice using Nmap for network discovery and Metasploit for exploitation. I also encourage them to experiment with EvilPDF for embedding payloads into PDFs, which ties in nicely with social engineering topics. Does anyone have tips on simulating phishing attacks for teaching purposes?

On October 31, there will be a new look and feel to the LabSim platform. These changes are part of the changes coming to combine the LabSim and CertMaster platforms together. Below are a couple of links to YouTube videos describing the changes.

Hey CIN: It seems like more than a minute since I've been about. We've been deploying Anthology Student here at the school, and that has dominated all of my time. I didn't want y'all to think I disappeared or abandoned you or something.

And then I come back to a whole long string...of...little...red....dots. Like, all over.

Y'all been busy.

Oh, and a few TTT's to catch up on.

Anyway, good to be back around.

I am reviewing the proof of participation for the recent Pentest+ 003 sessions and noticed that my name label is missing in session 1. Has anyone else encountered the same issue? From my review, this problem only appears in session 1, while the rest of the sessions seem fine. @Stephen Schneiter could you please assist in looking into this matter? Could this affect the voucher issuance for participants? If so, I hope we can address it early.

Thank you for your help!

Hi,
I've been logging on & posting as Tangobro for about 3-4 years, but since i did not do a change password in December I was locked out because I no longer have the email account that I used when I registered. Thus I'm a "new" user Tangobr0.

Questions - are any of you using or contemplating the use of the CompTIA a+ Network or CompTIA a+ Cyber material for classes?
If so who is your target student population?
Are you presenting either class as a standalone course, or as an introduction to another course or pathway?
If it's an intro course what is it an introduction to & how well prepared for the course are the students after taking the a+ Network or a+ Cyber?

p.s. Please let me know if there is a way to recover my account if possible.

Thanks

So, getting ready to take a test and noticed that you are not supposed to use laptops others have used. I often loan out my old laptops to students whose devices do not work.

What are my options? Also, can you proctor the tests in a classroom? How do you become worthy of being a CompTIA exam proctor?

How do I submit CEUs for security+ from teaching it in a classroom setting?

4/3/2025
I have provisionally passed ISC2's Systems Security Certified Practitioner (SSCP) certification exam
@ Cyber Russ you were my inspiration for this exam.

Thank you.

Have you plans to integrate Ai within your security infrastructure if so how will you know how effective itis

I'm teaching the new Tech+ course this semester, and I have some students interested in taking the cert exam. Anyone know when the Tech+ exam information will be posted to the website? The website still says "Exam details coming soon."

With a little experimenting, I found the Tech+ exam is actually listed as available to schedule once you sign in. But I don't see information on how long the exam is or how many questions. And this information is not available on my latest version of the exam objectives.

Thanks

The beta results came out, and yaay, I passed expected but what a wait?. Excited for the prospects on this course and much more.
