Join us for our next CIN Exclusive live-stream event!

Get ready to participate in a hands-on, practical cyber exercise with CompTIA, Cubic, and Cloud Range Cyber. For the next CompTIA Learning session, we’ll be conducting a cyber range exercise focused on protecting critical communications infrastructure. This will be a workshop, so prepare yourselves to interact with experts as you learn unique skill combinations that solve today’s critical issues. Throughout the session, AWS and Cubic will outline critical ways to manage, improve, and secure Mission Partner Environment (MPE) networks and communications. They will outline ways to cope with Denied, Degraded, Intermittent, and Limited (DDIL) environments, for example. All the while, we will all work hand-in-hand in a cyber range. We’ll be working inline and in real-time with experts who will help you learn the skills to help unify and secure edge and cloud for better communications and outcomes.

By the end of this session, you will be able to:

• Describe the critical infrastructure attack surface at the tactical edge for enterprise and cloud environments
• Discuss typical and asymmetric attacks that occur
• Identify critical, hands-on security analytics methods for protecting communications
• Create new cross-skilling pathways and learning opportunities with confidence

This session will last roughly three (3) hours. We will divide the action into three parts. In the first 30 minutes, AWS and Cubic will outline the opportunities and problems that today’s tech workers need to solve. We will then delve into a cyber range where you can hone practical skills and identify future learning pathways for you and/or your group.

Candidates can earn CEUs for the following certifications:

• CompTIA A+ ce
• CompTIA Network+ ce
• CompTIA Security+ ce
• CompTIA DataSys+ ce
• CompTIA Linux+ ce
• CompTIA Cloud+ ce

What: Skills for protecting mission-critical infrastructure: A hands-on workshop

PRE-DRAFT CompTIA Linux+XK0-006 Exam Objectives (pdf) (922 KB)


So you can start preparing already for that one in 2025 or 26?

Hi everyone,

Was wondering where I can access the PDF for the Instructor Guide and the Official PowerPoint slides for Training.
How do we usually get these materials? Are they provided after enrollment, or do we need to request them separately?

Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated.


Thank you in advance!

I just noticed how every trainer has a different ‘teaching style’ when delivering A+ or Network+. Some go deep into theory, others focus on troubleshooting labs. If you had to pick, what’s the one thing you never skip in your training sessions?

I already watched the entire series of SecurityX CAS-005 on demand. When will I get the voucher?

Would there be a certificate after completing the TTT security+ sessions?

Question, in TestOut when a student was taking a quiz, they were not allowed to open another TestOut tab without kicking them out of the exam. I realized today that while students were taking a quiz, one student had 4 CompTIA tabs open. 1 to launch the exam, 1 to take the exam and the other 2 the student was scrolling through the curriculum, looking up answers.

Does CompTIA have the functionality to not allow them to open other CompTIA tabs while taking an exam?

G'day everyone!

I bought the Sybex Wiley study guide for Linux+ v8 (XK0-006), because that's the book my students will also be using.

I was looking forward to the authors' take on a few of the new objectives, most importantly 4.5 on the responsible use of AI and LLM.

The book's preface promises that objective 4.5 is discussed in a chapter, plus the header page for that same chapter says it's in there. But no. Absolutely zero mention of AI, LLM and related topics. It's not in the index, it's not in the table of contents, not a word is breathed about the whole objective 4.5

I've submitted an erratum form to Sybex Wiley, who have "forwarded it to second line"... but it's gone dead silent since then.

I also noticed that this new version of the book no longer has Christine Bresnahan on the cover; it's now only mr Blum. I wonder why.

We are currently seeking a CompTIA certified instructor to volunteer as a mentor and advisor to our board. This is a fantastic opportunity to share your expertise, inspire students, and help guide our organization’s mission. All mentoring is done online through our discord server.

Please be aware that October is Cybersecurity Awareness month. There are many different cybersecurity organizations that recognize and offer additional educational resources around this designation. One such are the folks at StaySafeOnline:

https://www.staysafeonline.org/cybersecurity-awareness-month

They offered an online event on October 1, 2025. You can watch the recording at the link above. Their messaging for this year is that small actions can make a big difference. They have focusing on the Core 4. Four easy steps anyone can take to boost their online safety:

• Use strong passwords and a password manager
• Turn on multifactor authentication
• Recognize and report scams
• Update your software

As instructors I encourage everyone to help spread messaging about the 'Core 4' and talk about how students can use these and more advanced techniques as well as how they can spread the word about improving cybersecurity.

Hi All - Does anyone have the link for the Events page on the new website? I'm looking for the details on the partner meeting in London on Nov 11. Tnx.

Why does CompTIA even include operating systems in A+ 1202 module 11? I'm not sure what they provide in the module belongs under Managing Support Procedures. Am I just crazy or does anyone else agree? I'm putting that change into CompTIA anyways, but just wanted to get some opinions. And please don't give me that "If your an instructor, then you should take this as an opportunity to inform your students." answer. It's really not helpful.

Hello Everyone,
I'm so happy to tell everyone that I just finished all the Core 2 training videos of the A+ Exam preparation,
Thanks to CompTIA for this great privilege and opportunity, Who else is currently on Core 2 ?
Am so happy right now to have completed this part and moving closer to the A+ Exam.

Hello CINers,

What is the process to contact your college's respective CompTIA rep? I am covering a last minute class at my college.
Thanks in Advance
Brandon Groves

Can anyone share a latest version Linux book with me Linux+ V8 (New Version) at [email protected]

Amazing session for the new Linux+ v.8 (006) exam TTT session today 9/11/2025.

Jason went over the tac command and many other options. I'm not even embarrassed to say I have never used the tac command or searched in files with grep. Excellent and eye opening session. I truly and completely appreciate going back to the roots and fundamentals. One thing I will say about Linux I truly love and enjoy. You never stop learning!
