Hello everyone,
I was told that CompTIA has been acquired by an equity firm?!

Posted to ressources
Let me know if i missed something, or Updates you may see to be made.

Information is availabe from CompTIA. (they have no real guideline for the Retirement Date on the Website).

I always loose track on what Version is changing when.
Notice that there is an
SecAI in Draft..

regards
Michael

Is it possible to create a lab, with a few routers, switches and hosts?
Some real elementary cisco cli stuff.

Packet tracer is good, but the 2 hour intro course is a little high entry, when students are already doing course work.

Has A+ always been two exams? I first achieved A+ certification in 1998 and my exam codes were 220-002 and 220-003. I find it odd that that doesn't follow the *1 and *2 pattern that we're used to now and it makes me wonder if the original A+ was a single exam--maybe 220-001. (FWIW, it's apparently required two exams since 1996 at the latest.)

Anyone know for sure?

Hello All,

I am new to Comptia network but I am an authorized trainer for some renowned vender already & I have great experience in providing training since 2008 till now. I have recently completed virtual TTT series for the course of Pentest+ and I need association to teach somewhere as well to get some comptia related resources and benefits. I am open to train virtually for Cybersecurity, Network Security, Network & linux (specially CCNA, Cybersecurity Associate, CCNP) trainings if my previous experienced considered or at least would love to get certified in the same areas with comptia but to start I need firstly an acade,y for association. How can I get help or recommendations on that.

Thanks in advance to all gems and experts here.

Hello,
Has anyone experienced an issue with the Labs after completing them, where they can access them no more?
They are not yet expired but also not available on the portal

Yes! It is that time again! A+ is coming up for renewal. Join the CompTIA Instructor Network and special guest Lynn Warne as she takes a Sneak Peek into the changes with the new exam objectives. 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.

The CompTIA A+ certification is being updated to ensure it remains relevant and comprehensive in today's rapidly evolving IT landscape. The new A+ 220-1201/1202 certification will cover essential skills in hardware, software, networking, and troubleshooting, with an increased focus on security, networking, and software troubleshooting, preparing individuals for a wide range of IT roles.

Regarding this section:

In the terminal, run arp -a and compare the output to the topology diagram.

Which of the IP addresses in the cache are router interfaces?
10.11.2.1
10.11.2.2
10.11.2.5
10.11.2.100
10.11.2.103
10.11.2.255

How do you respond to this question? I've checked the diagram and I can't find the logic... I don't have any clues on how to respond.

I got access to a course that was released last year "a+ cyber" that looks like a great review of material for refreshing students and supporting Security+, CYSA and PenTest+. It even has a unit devoted to scripting. I like what I see but I'm curious if anyone has any experience with the course and how it worked out for you.

It’s getting exciting with the new releases of certifications. Can’t wait for the TTT

What is all this talk about OT? Why should my IT students learn about OT? Information Technology professionals are increasingly asked to understand the relatively foreign world of critical infrastructure and Operational Technology (OT).

Join CompTIA's Chief Technology Evangelist, Dr. James Stanger, to learn more about how our critical infrastructure works. James will avoid abstract discussions of acronyms such as SCADA, PLC, and Modbus. Instead, he'll discuss case studies from critical infrastructure professionals he has met worldwide. Do you ever wish you had a few stories to explain how critical infrastructure works? Looking to get past the typical cliches and FUD (Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt) about OT cybersecurity?

I attended the Cloud+ TTT sessions. How do I go about claiming my voucher? Appreciate the support, I am new here so not familiar with the process.

Hello,
I've attended all the Tech+ that was kept in September, however, I still haven't received any certification voucher. Can anyone provide an update as what am I to do.

Just got the Network+ Complementary exam voucher; Thank you @Stephen Schneiter, Thank you CompTIA.

cant wait to have the CompTIA AI Essentials TTT

Stanford Code In Place is once again accepting applications to teach the first half of CS106A as a volunteer Section Leader!

CS106A is one of the most popular courses at Stanford University, taken by almost 1,600 students every year. It has been developed over the last 30 years by an amazing team, including Nick Parlante, Eric Roberts and more. The course teaches the fundamentals of computer programming using the widely-used Python programming language. This course is for everyone from humanists, social scientists, to hardcore engineers.

What makes Code in Place special? We recruit and train one volunteer teacher for every 10 students in order to create a vibrant community of teaching and learning. We believe that the magnitude of people who want to teach computer science is large and may be roughly proportional to the magnitude of people who want to learn. Why? Teaching is joyful and teaching is the best way to learn both content and team leading skills. We do hope this course inspires more human-centered learning for all.

Who Can Teach?
Code in Place Section Leaders come from a wide range of backgrounds. We have had:

Retired teachers
- Programmers in industry
- University students studying computer science
- and even past Code in Place students who have continued their learning

We have learned that folks from all contexts can be exceptional educators. The prerequisite is that you know the first half of CS106A (Python up through lists and dictionaries). If you are accepted we will train you on the art of computer science education. You need to have at least 2 hours each week over the

And yes, you get a badge: https://digitalcredential.stanford....uYUNCb2lOWHZRT0cwbGJSTG5xVjZPUE1vM2NlVEV4eTZX

Class starts 21st April 2025. Student applications due 10th April 2025. Section Leader applications are due 4th April 2025.

I know that this is for the ITF+ but there is no current group or thread for the Tech+ yet. I was one of the instructor SMEs that met in Chicago during the 2023-2024 school year to help develop the new Tech+ course. While teaching the course this year, I noticed that there were several issues with the content. Since there have been a lot of changes within CompTIA recently, I was hoping that someone within the CompTIA organization might be willing to set up a focus group to review the content and suggest changes to the Tech+ course now that we have had a chance to teach the content. If so I would be interested in being part of the focus group

Lab 6.1.8: View Open Ports
When you run Zenmap you get the results that the support computer has port 5900 closed (In red). Means nothing is listening on that port, but that is the computer they want you to remove VNC from, which VNC is installed on that computer. Can anyone give me information as to why this lab is not showing Green with an open port???

Hiya!

CompTIA used to have a directory on their site, where one could lookup authorized (delivery) partners. I was on that list.

I can't seem to find the list anymore. Some cached pages on Google still have hints that the list used to be there, but I just really, really can't find it anymore.

I've already pinged Luke to ask him what's up, but maybe someone else knows? Where did the list go?!

I am pleased to announce we are ready to launch the Cloud+ CV0-004 TTT series! Join us and special guest Michael Schmitz as he leads the Cloud+ TTT series using the CompTIA CertMaster Learn content. Michael will cover the exam objectives and provide hands-on examples as you strengthen your fundamental cloud technology knowledge and proficiency in managing cloud environments.

Please note that this series is only four sessions! That is because a lot of what is covered should be refresher from Network+ and some of Security+. So please brush up those series so you can stay up with what is happening in the clouds!

Hi,
We are a nonprofit that will host an online, virtual Network+ cert course. This will occur over several months and we have the lessons already to go using a popular online platform. We would like an instructor to host a 1 hr. monthly session each month for 4 months to help the students navigate and summarize what they should be focusing on as they progress, or they may have questions about the content as they navigate thru the online course. This is a REMOTE learning format. Zoom/Google Meet links will be provided.
If interested please email: [email protected]

My cybersecurity journey has been a fascinating evolution, spanning over two decades of continuous learning and professional growth. Back in 2003, I first obtained my CompTIA Security+ certification, which was a significant milestone in my career. Recently, I revisited this foundational certification by successfully passing the latest Security+ (SY0-701) exam, demonstrating the importance of staying current in our rapidly changing cybersecurity landscape.

I will complete Pen+, CySA+ and CASP this year. I wrote an ARP Poisonging detection tool in Python and was going to share it, but when testing there were a few errors so I will test it further.

Hey there it is nice to meet everyone, I was recently accepted into CIN and I don't really know where to go from here. Does anyone have any tips or guidance to getting started? I do apologize if this is vague, But I do hope I can get some guidance.

Subnetting can feel overwhelming for students. What’s your secret to making it simpler and even enjoyable? Any favorite methods, tools, or analogies to share?
