Hi there
where i well find the voucher to access to courses and meterial of A+

Are there any good resources where I can get some good in-class exercises to do with my students for A+, Network+, and Security+? I know there are somethings included in CertMaster, but I am hoping to find material outside of CompTIA that could be useful.

Good Afternoon CIN,
We have had access to TestOut for ages. Then with all of the new course releases, we would receive them. With the new CertMaster Security+, we did not receive access. I tried calling CompTIA and was told to submit a help ticket. We used to have a CompTIA and a TestOut contact person, but now TestOut is no more. So my question is who can we reach out to. I have no idea who our sales person is. things have been great for so long that John Mongeon was our sales manager. We just found out about we have an issue because the new courses are starting up. Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,

Corey Douglas

I am interested in teaching another class or two along with my duties. I have been teaching using CompTIA both Asynchronous and Synchronous for the last 2 years as an Assistant Professor. I have a recent PhD in IT and have been teaching Cybersecurity classes mainly. In the past, I was an MCT and completed and was certified in a CCT class prior.

I have a lot of experience with Canvas and CompTIA, especially with Asynchronous, and prefer it along with discussion questions I grade and add. I have done all the normal quizzes and forum posts through Canvas to add to the class.

Do we really need to know Linux anymore now that we have the Cloud and AI? Join us for the CIN Sneak Peek where @James Stanger and @jasoneckert will talk about the latest CompTIA Linux+ certification exam. We will talk about why Linux is still relevant and Jason will walk us through changes with the new exam objectives. This is going to be a great session!

The CompTIA Linux+ is for the IT pro who will use Linux to manage everything from cars and smartphones to servers and supercomputers, as a vast number of enterprises use Linux in cloud, cybersecurity, mobile and web administration applications.

When: Wednesday, August 13th, 10:00 am - 12:00 pm CDT

Hello, Stephen.
Have you received a confirm start date for Linux+ TTT?

Hi all,

I’ve been exploring some of the newer machine learning libraries gaining traction this year, and I came across this article that outlines a few promising ones for 2025:
Top Machine Learning Libraries in 2025

It mentions familiar names like PyTorch, TensorFlow, HuggingFace, but also highlights tools like JAX and ONNX, which seem to be growing in adoption.

I’m curious to hear from the community:

• What libraries are you currently using for ML projects?
• Have you adopted any newer ones recently that you’d recommend?
• Are there any you think are overhyped or underappreciated?

I’m particularly interested in workflows for NLP and deploying lightweight models to production, so any insights there would be awesome too.

Looking forward to learning what others are experimenting with, thanks!

Hi team, just wanted to know if security+ labs are moved to CompTIA platform or still on LOD

I’m writing my PenTest 003 exam next week Thursday — please keep me in your prayers, I really need them!

Hi Folks ,

I hope you're all doing well.

I just wanted to find out if there is any update on the release of results for the CompTIA Data+ Beta Exam. According to the initial information, the results were expected to be released in July.

I'm not a recruiter. I don't have firsthand knowledge of the salary range. I am posting this to increase visibility of the position.

You can apply for the job and ask the recruiter about the salary range when they reach out to you.

I have delivered 2 batches with new A+ Version V15 and labs are being improved much as compared to the previous version,

CompTIA Network+ Lab N10-009

Lab 8.3: Live Lab: Update Network Documentation

Using the diagram and Resources panel, identify the name of the device labeled "A":

It doesn't accept any of the answers mentioned in resources for all devices A, B and C.

What is the actual names to be typed in the boxes to evaluate, any one please

Hi @Stephen Schneiter and @Rick Butler

May I kindly ask how we can activate the resources (teaching aids) for the A+ 1200 series, specifically the trial lab access available under the Train-the-Trainer (TTT) series? Additionally, could you please advise on what we should communicate to the CompTIA representative to proceed with the activation?


Looking forward to your guidance.


Best regards,
RV

When will it be held?

The links I had for the Partner Summit this summer no longer work. Any information on whether this event will still happen? I'm going to be very sad if it disappears!

Hi everyone!

I teach a variety of certifications like RHCSA, LPIC, AWS and would like to add CompTIA courses to my teaching skills. However, most of my students would also appreciate having the exam in their native language.

Does anyone know how we can support CompTIA in creating exams in different languages?

I am a native German speaker. I am also fluent in Japanese. This means I can provide some translations.

best regards,
Rene

Hi everyone,

I’m curious about your thoughts and experiences regarding lab environments. Personally, I prefer a live lab environment (even though it can be expensive). From my experience, learners trained in live labs tend to feel far more confident when working in live environments compared to those who only use simulated software labs.

While simulated labs are effective for certain tasks, I’ve noticed they often fall short in giving learners hands-on experience with setup, installation, and troubleshooting—especially for A+ and Network+.
Ideally, I think a combination of both approaches works best, if possible.

What’s your approach? Have you noticed a similar difference in learner outcomes between simulated labs and live labs?

Thanks in advance for your insights!

Hello,

There's a company that reached out to me that was interested in hiring me to teach Security+ as a subcontractor for them when they are able to obtain contracts. I have no problem with that. Today, they contacted me and said they may are negotiating for a client in Costa Rica, and they want to know what the charge would be for the courseware and labs. So I asked them if they were expecting me to bring all that to the table, and they said yes. I'm fine with that. I have an LLC, but it sounds as though I would need to become a CompTIA authorized provider. Does anyone know the process for setting that up, or could perhaps point me in the direction of someone at CompTIA who could advise me?

Thanks!

When is the Train-the-Trainer series for the CompTIA Data+ DA0-002 course.?

Hi gang. I told an authorized training partner I can train Security+. They scheduled me to deliver Certified Ethical Hacker for a full week this upcoming November. They have not specified the curriculum yet. What content overlap can I expect with Security+ material in CEH?

Hello,

I am working with the CompTIA implementation team, but curious if others have identified these issues and how you are handling it.

When reviewing the point value of lab assignments, I observed that some labs seem wildly pointed which will result in significantly skewing grades without intervention.

Live labs (Perform product) are all pointed at 1 point, where as simulated labs are typically pointed based on the number of steps graded (ex: 2-10).

My concern is for live labs which appear to be consistently be valued at 1 point is devaluing them considerably against simulated labs which require much less work. Additionally, some simulated labs seeming to not follow the convention of one point per item graded and are pointed with what appear as crazy inappropriate values (upwards of over 30,000 points).

While I can update point values in Canvas, this appears to be a manually intensive operation, requiring each assignment to be updated individually. I am curious if others have seen this and have a better work around other than manually updating each assignment point value.

examples of simulated lab point values identified in Certmaster Perform Network + out of normal range for reference:
4.1.7 – Lab Explore ARP in Wireshark 311 points

4.4.7 - Lab: Use IPv4 Test Tools 611 points

6.4.11 - Lab: Troubleshoot IP Configuration 3 31,111 points

9.2.5 – Lab: Analyze a DDos Attack 1,111 points

12.1.9 - Lab: Configure Wireless Profiles 51 points

** any "live" lab 1 point

Hi there
New here so still learning. It appears that whenever I apply for my organization to become a CompTIA partner via this portal: https://partners.comptia.org/become-a-partner/ I never get any response. Tried it years ago, and now even tried it about a week ago. It would be great to know the reason behind this or if there is a hidden path I must follow?
Thank you
Moses
