CompTIA Tech+ Learn vs CompTIA Tech+ Labs

Moving from ITF to Tech+ in the Fall 2025.

Noticed CompTIA offers Tech+ Learn and Tech+ Labs.

I have instructor access to both.

I noticed in CompTIA Tech+ Learn there are labs. Of course, I have access to Tech+ Labs.

My question is do I need to purchase CompTIA Tech+ Learn and CompTIA Tech+ Labs for the labs to work? Is there any benefit in purchase CompTIA Tech+ Labs if my students already have CompTIA Tech+ Learn?

Thank you for any information you can provide.

CompTIA AI Certification Status?

I had a few students ask about CompTIA AI certs. This one caught me off guard since I missed this AI notification, beta tests, etc. I've seen a few posts, but I'm not sure I understand the mission here with CompTIA. It seems like CompTIA is going to release an "AI Essentials exam," but I admit these so called expansions are quite perplexing(seems like throwing pancake batter on the kitchen wall).

I'm not sure why they want to develop all these certifications at once when, from what I can see, they have not released one.

I find it entertaining that there are numerous CompTIA AI courses on Udemy, but I can't find the certifications.

Any insight would be appreciated. Cheers. Joe

Inquiring Minds Want to Know about Cyber Ranges

Hey, CINners! James Stanger and I are wondering about your use of cyber ranges. By "cyber ranges," we're talking about interactive individual and/or team-oriented environments where people work on specific skills (e.g., security analytics skills), courses (e.g., Security+), individual skills (securing APIs against Advanced Persistent Threats), and/or Capture the Flab (CTF). So, here's the question:

What cyber range environments do you use?

And, here's a follow up question: What do you like or not like about cyber range environments?

How can a university become a part of Academic Partner Network?

Hello Everyone.👋

I hope all is well. I'm a Sec+ certified cybersecurity teacher representing Baku Engineering University. We have been an Azerbaijan-based academic institution since 1997. We teach bachelor's, master’s, and doctoral programs well in our facilities. We would like to be an academic partner with CompTIA so that people can enjoy our partnership. We find it fitting for our labs, teachers, and students that a partnership would be available between us.

I have used multiple online resources that were advertised to be forms to apply for partnership but they were either completely unavailable(404) or unresponsive(no returns to my email). Can anyone help me in this regard? Like what is the correct process for applying to CompTIA’s Academic Partner Program? Is there any alternative contacts or regional representatives who could assist? Anyone who has been through this process is needed:)

Thank you in advance

Last night’s session was very good Lyn did a superb job leading the TTT if you missed it then use the catch up option. The future of A+ is changing and needs to reflect what is used in business today.

Hiring for Casual Trainers

Hello Everyone,

BNA Education, an official partner of CompTIA, is seeking casual trainers to lead virtual or face-to-face classes for all CompTIA certifications. If you're interested in this opportunity, please email us at [email protected] with your resume, which includes details about your qualifications and teaching experience. We'll be happy to further discuss the next steps, many thanks.

Warm regards,
Hal

**Apologies for the incomplete information in my first post. Our campus is located in Melbourne CBD, Australia, and we primarily offer face-to-face training. However, if there is sufficient demand from students for an online session, we are open to conducting one.

Currently, we are looking for candidates for casual roles, which I believe may be equivalent to part-time or temporary positions with flexible hours in the U.S. For applications within Australia, if the course is face-to-face, a certain amount of travel expenses will be provided.**

  • Question
PDF Files for A+ and Security+ Course Outlines?

Hi All,

Are there any PDF Files containing the course outlines for A+ (both cores) and Security+? I've tried searching the web and the best that I could get were the Exam Objectives Mapping PDF Files. I don't have a particular need to know where each topic in the exam can be found in the courseware material, but getting an official document of the table of contents (just the table of contents) would suffice. Does such a document exist?

Thanks

  • Question
Where do I find the 'on-demand' recordings of my course?

Yesterday I started the CompTIA CloudNetX CNX-001 TTT Session 1 and was rushed, and felt that I would be able to do much better with it watching the "on demand" at an increased speed. With that observation, I left the meeting where the instructor I believe had stated the 'on-demand' would be available likely within an hour of the course completion.

it is now the next day, and I still have no access to the prep exam.

Ohhh... another new cert! Autocode+

Pre-draft objectives are posted for a shiny new cert: Autocode+. And based on its exam code, I'm wondering if this might be the beginnings of a new cert pathway?? I'm not a coder, but this one looks like fun!

Pearson Vue Proctoring Issues

Greetings to all reading this. I am currently instructing an A+ class. I have had 4 students take the Core 1 exam using PearsonVUE and have had 2 software malfunctions resulting in students not being able to test and reschedule from their side. I am reaching out to see has anyone else had this issue with them? I have been teaching and using them for the last 3 years and had no issues until now.
