I have purchased the material and didnt find the slides

Hi, I obtained my Project+ certification on My 11th 2024. I recall receiving an email that prior certifications would not expire, but new ones would. I received an email: "Your CompTIA Project+ CE certification will expire on Oct 01, 2028." I checked the CompTIA website, and there is no mention that Project+ must be renewed, regardless of the accomplishment date. Certainly, they are not mass emailing all Project+ certification holders. I checked Crucial Exams, and it indicated I was correct. Color me confused

Copilot:
Based on the information currently available, your recollection appears to be correct.

• You earned CompTIA Project+ on May 11, 2024.
• At that time, Project+ was a Good-for-Life (GFL) certification, meaning it did not require renewal. [crucialexams.com], [help.comptia.org]
• CompTIA announced a policy change in 2025: new Project+ certifications earned on or after October 1, 2025, require renewal every three years through the Continuing Education (CE) program. People who earned Project+ before that cutoff date retain the original Good-for-Life status. [crucialexams.com]

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!

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.

The year is drawing to a close, but it's never a bad idea to be ready for the remaining activities in this great CompTIA community. So if anyone knows of any upcoming activities, please share them with us.

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,
Is there any way or possibility to printed get hard copies of Comptia Instructor Resources and Free Books?
Thank you

Hi

I thoroughly enjoyed this session and especially the IBM content. I would really like a copy of Gabe Chang's lecture slides.

If this is possible, please can they be shared

Many thanks

Hello Everyone,
Greetings,
I have joined CompTIA Instructor network (CIN).
I need some guidance on how to get Instructor materials like slides, instructor book, labs etc for teaching CompTIA trainings Linux +V8
I tried searching but haven't got appropriate answer.
Would you please guide me on this.
Regards

The semester starts next week. I will be using the Security+ Learn + Labs in lieu of Security Pro CertMaster (as it will be phased out by next July) and my students purchase the bundle withe voucher and take their exam at the end of Spring semester. I just found out that Security+ v8 will be released this November and the Security+ v7 exam will retire in Mid May 2027. So, I have two questions:

1. If my students purchase the SY0-701 exam voucher next week will they be able to apply to the SY0-801 exam when it is released next May?
2. Would you advice the students to take the SY0-701 or SY0-801 (assuming both are available in mid May)?

Hi CIN CompTIA Team! I hope you are doing well.

I am currently waiting for my CySA+ exam voucher.
While checking my email for updates, I discovered that I had previously been issued an A+ exam voucher.
Unfortunately, I was not aware that I had received it, and I only noticed it after it had already expired last month.

I understand this was completely my oversight, and I'm sorry for missing it.
I know the voucher has already expired, and I completely understand if it can't be reissued.
I just wanted to ask if there might be any chance of renewing or reissuing it. I would greatly appreciate your consideration and any assistance you can provide.

Thank you so much!

Hi everyone,
Please has the Voucher for Cysa+ been sent out to our emails yet?

Hi everyone,

I hope you’re all having a great week.

I am currently trying to map out some lesson plans for the new CompTIA CompCerts (Certificates of Competency) series, but I'm having trouble finding the official course outlines.

Specifically, I am looking for the detailed curriculum/syllabus outlines for:

• a+ Cyber
• AI Prompting Essentials
• (And any other current Essentials / CompCert offerings)

I’ve done a search through the portal/website but haven't had any luck locating them yet.

Could anyone point me in the right direction or share the specific path/link where these are typically hosted?

Thanks in advance for the help!

Good Afternoon. Im hoping to find instructor resources (slides) for Linux+ V8. Any assistance is appreciated.

I have never used CompTIA for certifying my high school students. However, TestOut was good (in my opinion) so here I am. What are the pro's and con's for those of you with experience doing so with CompTIA? Does the training provided align with the certification exam? What is your typical pass rate? Do you have someone (like a Rep) I can contact for pricing? Or this there an online form to request a Quote? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

I'm trying to access the On Demand Lessons but I can't access the video. I kept on having the error "Login Failed. Please try again.".
I was able to access session 6 a few hour ago. Now I can't get access.
Am I the only one having trouble?

My org budgets "premium" training opportunities for IS staff every-other year and this year it's my turn. I have a couple SANS certs (GCIH, GCPN) already and while I love SANS and think they're great, would really like to diversify my skill set.

I've been looking into the possibility of training with other orgs like OffSec, Hack-the-Box, Arcanium, and Antisyphon (a personal favorite). I love HtB but feel like their certs might be too new for industry-wide recognition if I need to look for employment. I hear OffSec is fantastic but very difficult and that Arcanium is great training (but doesn't offer certs).

For those who would start with "depends on what you're looking to do...", I am looking for a mix of great training and ideally would love to add a cert or more to my resume.

I would love to get some advice from those who have experience training with those and/or other orgs please! What are your success or horror stories?
