I am looking to hire a security+ instructor. The instructor will teach two live online sessions per week, review practice questions, explain key exam objectives, and help students prepare confidently for the certification exam. Remote opportunity with the potential for ongoing cohorts.

Interested instructors, please send me an email at [email protected] with your experience, availability, and expected rate.

Thanks,

I recently enrolled in the CompTIA AI Fundamentals Competency Certificate through the Train The Trainer Webinar Series.


During enrollment, I reached a step asking me to select the instructor who teaches my class, as shown in the attached screenshot. However, when I search for an instructor, “No matches found” appears.

I am a CIN community member and instructor, and I would appreciate guidance from anyone who has completed this course or encountered the same enrollment issue.

Thank you for your help!

Greetings all,

Thank you TTT team.

Hi everyone i join CIN about year ago. this month i complete my Security+ on demand sessions. so i want to know can i get the voucher?

Hello CIN Community,

I recently enrolled in a CompTIA CompCert course through the CompTIA Instructor Network (CIN) after attending the AI Fundamentals Webinar.

During the enrollment process, I was asked to select an institution for the CompCert exam. However, my university was not listed among the available institutions, so I selected another institution that may not currently be operational or may not be able to schedule the exam. I have completed the course waiting for my exam to be scheduled in the assessment tab. I have added a screenshot of exam assessment.

I would appreciate advice from anyone who has experienced a similar situation:

• What options are available if the selected institution cannot schedule the CompCert exam?
• Can a CIN member select a different active/operational institution, including one located outside their country, to facilitate or schedule the exam?
• If this is allowed, which institution should I select?

I would be grateful for any guidance or experience you can share.
Thank you!

Join us for the CIN TTT series covering the next release of the CompTIA CySA+ certification. Our guest instructor, @Nick Pierce , will lead us through the eight-session series covering the exam objectives and provide hands on examples as you strengthen your cybersecurity analysis skills. We will discuss how to cover the content with students and suggest various labs to let students gain hands-on experience as they prepare for certification.

CompTIA Cybersecurity Analyst (CySA+) is the premier certification for cyber professionals tasked with incident detection, prevention, and response through continuous security monitoring. It validates a tech professional's expertise in incident response and vulnerability management processes, emphasizing the critical communication skills necessary for effective security analysis and compliance.

Skills covered in this series:

• Enhance security operations processes, differentiate threat intelligence and threat hunting, and identify malicious activity using appropriate tools.
• Conduct vulnerability assessments, prioritize vulnerabilities, and recommend effective mitigation strategies for vulnerability management.
• Apply attack methodology frameworks, perform incident response, and understand the incident management lifecycle to handle security incidents effectively.
• Utilize communication best practices to report on vulnerability management and incident response, providing stakeholders with actionable plans and meaningful metrics.

Greetings all,
25th August 2026, I passed my Linux+ exam after 15 days (full-time) of preparation. I used Certmaster only, along with the lab.
What I did
1. Printed the eBook and studied offscreen.
2. Set up the lab (Fedora and Ubuntu ) and did all practicals. (LAB is the key to success)
3. Target 2 modules / Day (reviewed all modules 2 times)

It was not easy, but if you take your time reading Certmaster, it helps a lot.

Thank you, @Stephen Schneiter @jasoneckert

Thank you, TTT team.

Hi, all.
My community college is seeking an experienced cybersecurity professional with a current CISSP license to develop curriculum (with the possibility of later teaching) a CISSP prep course. Please reach out to [email protected] for details.
Thank you!

It seems that the new version of Security+ will be released on Nov 2026, so I was wondering if the TTT will be available before that release date (so instructors can be prepared in advanced).

Hey fellow Linux+ candidates

I wanted to share a free resource that’s been super helpful in my prep for the XK0-006 exam: Skunkworks Academy Linux+ Mock Exam Tool

It’s a browser-based readiness tracker that lets you:

• Run randomized assessments (20–25 questions recommended)
• Track your best and latest scores locally
• Identify domain gaps across all exam objectives
• Export/import your progress between machines

Tip: For a realistic exam feel, set it to “Timed = Yes” and “Show answers = No.”

It’s not a replacement for hands-on labs, but it’s great for quick self-checks and building confidence. If you’ve tried it, I’d love to hear your thoughts or suggestions for improvement!

Happy studying and good luck to everyone aiming for Linux+

I have completed all my Linux+ TTT sessions. Please let me know when I will receive the Exam Voucher.

Over thae past couple of years I have noticed some changes to the platform that seem to create issues when my students are completing both the labs and assessments on the new Labsim platform. The biggest of course is the Score button vs Save button on the assessments. I don't remember the Save option available in the past. When I pull the grades for my students, they tell me that the assignments were completed, but I don't see them on my end. What I am learning after talking with them is that they are selecting Save instead of Score. This is the same issue I had last year with the change on the labs where they select Check Answers, then have the option to Keep Working or Score Lab. In my opinion, the extra buttons are making things a little more difficult on both the students and the instructors. Is anyone else seeing this?

Hi
I enjoyed the recent session on CySA+. Great sessions indeed.
When will the Exam Voucher for CySA+ be available?
Looking forward...,.

From now on ward this is where i will be posting Birthday Celebrant

I had purchased in the past The Official CompTIA Security+ Instructor Guide (SY0-701) but i am trying to locate the same product type for Network+ with no luck, can anyone point me to right direction to this issue.

Thanks in Advance.

Hello CINers,

Is there way to do a bulk account enrollment in CertMaster Learn. Our CertMaster instance is not integrated without LMS. Any assistance would be beneficial.

Thanks.

After 13 years of experience, including 6 in SOC, 4 in Penetration Testing, and 3 in cyber Industrial Control System (OT), I'm seeking another area of information security, this time in DevSecOps. Advice and resources are always welcome.

Tech industry leaders are clear, and to the point: The most important skills today center around critical thinking. For the next installment of “The Pulse,” Join Cengage author @Jill West and CompTIA’s @James Stanger as they delve into one of the most pressing issues facing today’s instructors: If the human should be in the information technology loop, then what are the best ways to teach students to use AI , rather than simply rely on it? Topics will include:

• Strategies for teaching critical thinking in the age of AI
• Typical issues instructors face when using AI in the classroom, from policy blocks to cheating
• How to teach students so that they don’t engage in “superficial intelligence”
• Practical classroom solutions instructor can consider
