Pre-draft objectives are posted for a shiny new cert: Autocode+. And based on its exam code, I'm wondering if this might be the beginnings of a new cert pathway?? I'm not a coder, but this one looks like fun!

Link, and scroll down under the Pre-Draft Exam Objectives section:

Greetings to all reading this. I am currently instructing an A+ class. I have had 4 students take the Core 1 exam using PearsonVUE and have had 2 software malfunctions resulting in students not being able to test and reschedule from their side. I am reaching out to see has anyone else had this issue with them? I have been teaching and using them for the last 3 years and had no issues until now.

Looking for US based experienced instructors/soc analysts with similar experience for a unique onsite two-week opportunity this August in Kansas. Week 1 will be an instructor led delivery of a soc analyst course with hand-on exercises, and week 2 will be a range exercise (CTF event). We are actively recruiting a handful of instructors to join the team to deliver the training in-person the first week and/or participate virtually on the Red Team in the second week (you can do both or only one of the weeks). If you have SOC analyst experience or equivalent certifications/background, please contact me by email for further discussion and details. Thank you!

Hello Everyone,

BNA Education, an official partner of CompTIA, is seeking casual trainers to lead virtual or face-to-face classes for all CompTIA certifications. If you're interested in this opportunity, please email us at [email protected] with your resume, which includes details about your qualifications and teaching experience. We'll be happy to further discuss the next steps, many thanks.

Warm regards,
Hal

**Apologies for the incomplete information in my first post. Our campus is located in Melbourne CBD, Australia, and we primarily offer face-to-face training. However, if there is sufficient demand from students for an online session, we are open to conducting one.

Currently, we are looking for candidates for casual roles, which I believe may be equivalent to part-time or temporary positions with flexible hours in the U.S. For applications within Australia, if the course is face-to-face, a certain amount of travel expenses will be provided.**

As I understand that the E-learning of CV0-004 Cloud+ will shift to CertMaster Perform.
Does anybody know where or how can I get/purchase the Instructor slide from the CertMaster Perform?

Thanks in advance

My company is looking for a Linux + and CySA+ instructor Blended learning but would need to be physically in Jacksonville at our site. Does not have to be the same instructor.

a 5-day Linux+ course 14-18APR
a 5-day CySA+ course 21-25APR


UPDATE: Thank you all for the share and emails. I have found two great instructors, to help fill the positions.

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.

During this session, we will explore the Essentials roadmap, looking at already available titles and those coming out later this year. We will demo various products and discuss how the Essentials may be implemented in various programs.

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.

Hi Cinners,

Are there any CEU s or exam that updates the Cloud+ 003 other than the 004 Certification test?

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
