Anyone know (or where can I keep updated) about the new version of CYSA+? I see the Exam Objectives are in "Draft" mode...just wondering if we have a ballpark release date yet for the TTT, course and beta exam?

Hi, please can anyone check if the Core1 labs is working? I tried in different devices is not loading since 09:00 AM UK time zone.

Hello CINers

Good to say I found out time to take both Competency Assessment and passed on first attempt - completed the learning path via the courseware which will suffice for knowledge acquisition

had issue completing the learning path , for some persons that dont see some items load or with the new courseware update cant get up to 100% completion, please do try a different browser. switched from chrome to edge and it worked for me - loaded all items and finished learning in Dec.

Though this isnt a credly badge based achievement- it validates skills in AI basics and prompting. comes with a sharable and verifiable cert/link + this competency doesn't expire( I guess it should)

Above are my thoughts -

Big thanks to @Stephen Schneiter @Nick Pierce #1 for putting this together.

This question is wrongly stated or is wrongly answered.
My logic is as follows:
With Microsoft Exchange on a corporate smartphone, the user can expect to sync:
- Email
- Contacts
- Calendar
So the answers should be text boxes to select 3 options.
Texts (SMS) do not sync through Microsoft Exchange.
So the correct synced items are Email, Contacts, and Calendar.

What do you think?

I think this question is wrong! I think the right answer is Private Cloud,

Why:
- They **don’t want to share resources** with other organizations → this rules out **public** and **community** clouds.
- They **don’t have the capital** to build infrastructure or hire engineers → a **hosted private cloud** from a provider fits perfectly.
- Strict access control is **not** a concern, so they don’t need the complexity of a hybrid setup.

A **private cloud hosted by a cloud provider** gives them dedicated resources without the cost of building or managing the infrastructure themselves.
What do you think?

When is the new version of Security+ TTT going to be scheduled? I am teaching a 701 class currently, but know it is scheduled to be updated again.

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?

CompTIA DataAI: The Reimagined DataX Certification for the Advanced Data and AI Workforce​

January 12, 2026

CompTIA is rebranding its advanced DataX certification as DataAI, reflecting the fundamental shift in how data work is performed across modern organizations. This official transition is set to take place on January 21, 2026.

Data and AI are no longer adjacent disciplines: Today’s data roles increasingly require proficiency in machine learning, advanced analytics, and AI-driven decision-making.

Artificial intelligence is becoming more deeply embedded into analytics, operations, and decision-making, with demand rising for professionals who can design, implement, and operate intelligent data systems responsibly and at scale.

CompTIA DataAI validates those capabilities, giving experienced professionals a clear way to demonstrate advanced expertise, while giving employers confidence that their data and AI initiatives are being built on sound technical, operational, and governance foundations.

Passed CompTIA Tech+: It’s always beneficial to revisit foundational courses periodically—they help keep your skills sharp and ensure you stay current in the rapidly evolving world of technology.

We have an ongoing training and we need a certified Comptia Security X instructor with a deep knowledge of HacktheBox modules for penetration testing

Hi All,

I'm a VMware Certified Instructor, Microsoft certified trainer & CSA certified Instructor.

So can I apply to become CompTIA certified instructor ? Pl guide the procedure for the same.

Thanks.

Hello colleagues,
I passed the SecurityX (CAS-005) exam today 07-01-26. It was challenging but I managed to get through it successfully.

Out Side of the pricy material that we can get from CompTIA, is there any other options for up to date instructor material. As of now I have been using the older Power Points from Total Sim for the 1100 series that I have been updating by hand to include all the new 1200 information. Total Sim informed us today that they will not be producing any more instructor material for any level of certifications.

Hello mates, Trust we are all good, happy new year, I am currently surprised here because Nothing like the thrill of an unexpected pre-exam puzzle: Why is this voucher I've been safeguarding like Gollum already redeemed? A true test of patience before the test , I Just tried to use my exam voucher and the system says it's already been redeemed. Has this happened to anyone else? @Stephen Schneiter Please sir help look into this.

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

Hello guys! I hope you are all having a wonderful time.

This is the first time that I will use the voucher. May I request for some help regarding this?

THanks guys! any help will do.

Dear Stephen Scheneiter,

I have joined the community on November this year and didnt have the opportunity to accompany the CIN CTT series for the comptia N+. Is it possible to give a ate access to the CertMasterprogram for Comptia N+ so that i can have access to the pdf resources? If not, is there any other way to have access to the pdf files for the comptia n+?

Regards,

Nelson

For AI Essentials and AI Prompting Essentials, where in the course / training do you take the internal exam to get the certificates of completion to obtain the completed training ? Im not seeing them in the Comptia Training page ??

Hello,

I have official CompTIA TTT / Training access for Network+.
Could you please confirm where I can find the official instructor training slides (PPT/PDF)?

I currently have access to:
- CertMaster Learn
- Labs / practice materials

However, I am looking specifically for:
- Official Network+ instructor slides
- Downloadable PPT or PDF materials (if available)

Additionally, if recorded videos of the TTT session are available, could you please let me know where I can access them or share the relevant links?

Are these slides and videos available in CompTIA Central, CertMaster, or a separate Instructor Resource portal?

Thank you for your support.

Hey folks. My current employer is seeking an instructor to teach their upcoming Network+ and Security+ courses. If you're in the Columbus OH area and this interests you, check out the job listing here: https://jobs.dayforcehcm.com/en-US/gwcols/CANDIDATEPORTAL/jobs/11151

Thanks!

I received Core 1 A+ voucher and took the exam too, but I never received core 2. Did this happened to anyone? I tried requesting it but no success.
