CompTIA quiz lockout features

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?

Did CompTIA become part of Microsoft?

Hi gang, I am updating a graphic for lesson 3 of Security+, specifically where we discuss certificate signing requests. The new comptia.org certificate from DigiCert shows:

CN = sso.comptia.org
O = Microsoft Corporation
L = Redmond
ST = Washington
C = US

Did CompTIA become part of Microsoft?

Security+ training materials for Spring Semester

It is a while off, but I will be teaching the Security+ class again this coming January. Previously I used the Test Out course materials and lab. Is that still going to be available for the coming year or will it be migrated to Cert Master? If so will I need to also go through the TTT Cert Master version to be able to navigate teaching the course materials? Thank You for any information on how I should prepare.

New link to the CompTIA IT Certifications Roadmap

Hi everyone

Until last month, the link to the CompTIA IT Certifications Roadmap below worked very well. I always used this in CompTIA Data+ classes to encourage my students to go further for professional development:


I navigated to this link today and it takes me to this page:


Has the IT certification roadmap been hosted somewhere else or has it been removed altogether? It was a very useful resource.

Operating Systems in Module 11

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.

CompTIA A+ ITProTV

Hey Cinners,

I remember sometime in the past, that there was an ITPro TV training option. Does that still exist and if so, how can I access it? I'm currently training our Cybersecurity Information Specialist course which comprises A+, Net+, Security+, Linux+, Python and some specific Cybersecurity modules. I'd like to take this ITPro for a spin as I will need to step away from training for a few days and need my students to continue with lessons.

Thanks in advance for your assistance.

CEU's for Network+

Hi, everyone,

I passed my Network+ in June 2024. In July, I took the Train The Trainer for Network+ 10-009 (I had tested under the 008 test). It was ten sessions for a total of 20 CEU credits. My question is what other TTT courses would count towards the Network+ CEU credits? Would DataX, Security+, or others count?

Thanks and have a great night. :)
Patrick.

  • Question
Other Exam Languages in Tech+

I have been teaching IT certifications, system administration and programming skills for over 10 years.

ITF+ is available in the following languages: English, Chinese, Japanese, Thai and Vietnamese.
Now, the newer Tech+ certification is only available in English.

Is there any chance of Tech+ being available in other languages in the future? I could contribute German as it is my native language.
