Do CIN Members Get Discounts on CE Renewal Resources (e.g., Security+ CertMaster CE)?

N
Hi everyone,

I’m a member of the CompTIA Instructor Network (CIN) and I’m planning my CE renewals. Before I purchase any continuing education resources, I wanted to ask:

Do CIN members receive discounts on CE renewal materials or tools?
For example, the Security+ CertMaster CE is currently listed at around $200 — is there an instructor discount available through CIN for this or similar products?

If there are specific procedures or promo codes that CIN members should use to access these discounts, I’d really appreciate details.

Thanks in advance!

Exam prep

fredjclaus
I'm an instructor for Penn Foster College. Since the CompTIA A+ exam is updated every few years, we need to revamp our course to ensure that we are properly educating students on the requirements for the exam. Is there any way we can determine the required material so that we can better develop and update our courses to meet the CompTIA expectations?

shafiqulbaten
Good evening,

I am an adjunct professor at Bronx Community College in the Cybersecurity department. I would like to go for the Security+ exam. Will I get any discount to buy the voucher, or is there a possibility to get a free voucher to give the exam? I am planning to sit for the exam on January 10th or 15th. Please let me know.

Regards,
Sumon

Compcert Courses -- Where's The Beef

Steve Linthicum
I'm wondering if these "CompTIA Compcert courses" that are not tied to actual CompTIA certifications are going to result in opportunities for instructor work, teaching classes that at best result in a "certificate of attendance"? In my decades of teaching as well as selling new courses to employers, students, and curriculum committees, that path has been made much more successful because of the recognition of CompTIA as a "Certification Issuer".

Thoughts?

Ahead of the Curve: CompTIA’s 2026 Product Roadmap & Innovations

E
I wanted to ask the following question tomorrow at Ahead of the Curve: CompTIA’s 2026 Product Roadmap & Innovations, but I will not be able to listen to it.

Is CompTIA planning to bring back the old subscription service, like TestOut had, where you have access to as much learning material for a monthly price?

Thanks,

New Partner Portal & How to Sell Certmaster

Shea Bennett
Does anyone know if there will be a new CompTIA Partner portal launched? I went to the old URL and it just redirects me to this URL: https://www.comptia.org/en-us/partner-portal/partner-resources/


I'm trying to figure out how to sell Certmaster courses as an addition to our classes. It's pretty confusing.

New A+ 1201 objectives

G
I've received the new objectives for 1201 and 1202 - but some of the study content in Test Out and other sources doesn't match up entirely. For example the new objectives say that the the steps to laser printing and printer types have been removed from the objectives - but the content is still in the new version of Test Out and in some of the other resouces I use. There are othe examples in some of the othe objectives as well. Anyone know for sure?

CompTIA quiz lockout features

C
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?

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?
