Salutations,

If anyone is seeking a Security + instructor, please connect with me.

I am an active instructor and have completed teaching a Cybersecurity cohort with an accredited institution on last week.

My email is as follows: [email protected]

Hello Everyone,
I'm so happy to tell everyone that I just finished all the Core 2 training videos of the A+ Exam preparation,
Thanks to CompTIA for this great privilege and opportunity, Who else is currently on Core 2 ?
Am so happy right now to have completed this part and moving closer to the A+ Exam.

Just Passed the Network+ N10-009 Exam this morning , only noticed yesterday that the our voucher codes for this one are Valid through September 30, 2025.

If you haven't taken it yet, you better hurry

Hello guys! does our current Linux+ TTT are available on-demand? I missed a session and I want to watch it.

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.

Hi everyone ,
I just finished watching all the CIN TTT Series videos. It was a really valuable experience and helped me organize my thoughts and better understand how to deliver the content to students.

I’d love to hear your advice what do you recommend as the next step after finishing the videos? Should I jump straight into hands-on labs, or spend more time reviewing the theoretical content first?

Would there be a certificate after completing the TTT security+ sessions?

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.

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.

Will there be an exam after completing the TTT Security+ sessions?

Hello All,

One of my students brought this to my attention, and I am passing it along as it appears to be a newly added resource on 9/3/25(per the metadata on PDF). Some
months ago I recall many wanted an ebook for this course, not sure if that’s the official intent of this resource, but it is a 737 page PDF of the Perform without the labs and videos. It is located under the 3 vertical dots menu (see photos), at the very bottom
under Resources>Reference>Course PDF.

One of my student has lost access to old email, is it possible for him to transfer his Lab account (Portal.comptia.org) and associate to another email id

I am planning to write server+ exam next week, any suggestions, tips, techniques to be followed in the exam to be able to pass it, thanks

After delivering few trainings, the general feedback from the participants is that they don't find few hardware labs in first few modules that much user friendly as compared to other labs in other modules and these labs are not properly balanced with some modules having more labs

As there are lot of labs in Network+, it should be divided into 2 parts, those to be completed during the training and other section which has reference or additional labs to be completed after training

Is it possible to take remote control of CompTIA Labs on this platform.comptia.org

Hi Team,

I'm looking for a Certified instructor to run CompTIA NW+ class sometime in late October.
Please email Kimberly Shelton [email protected] if you are available. This would be tentative based on enrollments.
Can I ask this request on this discussion board?

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.

Hi everyone,


I’m currently preparing for the CompTIA Network+ (N10-009) exam and I’m very interested in building my hands-on skills through labs. I wanted to ask you, what are the recommended tools and software for building labs and practicing the exam objectives?

Thank you

Hello,


I am in the early years of teaching within a Career and Technical Education (CTE) program for Information Technology. This year, I am working with sophomore students, and I would like to establish a baseline of their technical knowledge at the beginning of the year and then measure their growth at the end.


Does CompTIA or TestOut provide any assessment tools, pre-tests, or related resources that could support this type of “before and after” measurement of student skills?


Thank you in advance for your guidance.

Hi all! I noticed that under the documents, there was a link called 'CIN Community Application'. When I clicked it, it gave me a "server IP address cannot be found." Was this something we needed? If so, could someone please provide me with the correct link? It was listed right under the CIN the Pulse webinar which, if anyone missed that link, here you go! CIN The Pulse: Managing critical space cybersecurity: Guarding against the failure of imagination

What's the difference between the a+ cyber and the normal A+?
I am looking for the course outline of the a+cyber

My Cysa+ is set to expire in Dec. and I have my CEU's for the SecurityX TTT and 15 hours of conferences. I had intended completing the SecurityX exam now but best laid plans.
Can anyone make in recommendations for suggestions as to training that will be credited?

I am no longer doing the Cisco track so I am looking at either,

CERTMASTER LABS FOR SECURITYX (EXAM CAS-005) - 40 CEUs
or
CERTMASTER LEARN FOR SECURITYX (EXAM CAS-005) - 40 CEUs

Has anyone got any sugguestions?

Thanks
Greg Porter

I am the newly appointed administrator for the CompTIA Academy at our institution. I was recently added to the CIN and now have access to the https://platform.comptia.org portal.

I am writing to request your guidance on how to begin using the platform effectively. Specifically, I need help understanding the initial steps to:
Furthermore, I am inquiring about the availability of free fundamental-level courses for my students.

Thank you for your time and assistance. I am eager to resolve this and begin delivering CompTIA courses to my students.
