Hi everyone-

I'm in the process of launching a new CompTIA A+ Training Program at a Minnesota based non-profit organization. We need to train 200 students over roughly 5 weeks (40 clock hours of training each week - 25 students per week - 1 week 'makeup' at the end.)

I'm curious if anyone has data or person experience regarding a sufficient hourly rate. This would be a contract role but is likely to be extended at the end of this initiative.

Let me know if you have additional questions - seeking someone with at least 1 or 2 years teaching experience (technical or otherwise,) is comfortable with remote instruction, and currently holds at least their CompTIA A+ certification.

Thanks! I can provide further details upon request.

Hello!
I noticed that on the comptia store there are only labs for the core 2 series 12. Why?
are they in the planning stage or what?

thanks!

I am considering offering a Linux+ certification study group at the community college where I teach Linux+. In class, we use the CompTIA book and CertMaster labs. I don’t have any experience in creating a study group, so I am looking for advice and resources that could help.

It is time to continue our journey through the new A+ 1200 series! Join CIN and special guest Lynn Warne for the CIN TTT Series: A+ Core 2 220-1202. The series will cover ten sessions covering the A+ Core 2 exam domains. Lynn will teach the advanced skills and concepts covered on the exam as well as hands-on activities with key technology tools to help students launch a career in IT.

What: CIN TTT Series A+ Core 1 1202 10 sessions
When: May 6, 2025, 6:00 - 8:00 PM Central Daylight Time, Tuesday and Thursday through June 5, 2025
Who: Lynn Warne
Where: ON24

In the new CompTIA Learn A+ Core 1 and Core 2 Course Guide and Transition Mappings on page 4, the document addresses competency assessments available that instructors can use as a comprehensive, skills-based final exam for students in each core.

What are the specifics regarding this assessment? Where can instructors access assessment scores and certificates for our records? Is there a cost per student? Do students have to schedule themselves? Can they take the assessments in class? Any other details would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

FED VTE was a great resource for most of the CompTIA cybersecurity and infrastructure exams (Security +, CySA+, Cloud+, Pentest+, and CASP+). With the discontinuation of FED VTE and migration to CISA, it's become a lot harder to find a "one stop shop" if you will of CEU's presented in that same way. The CISA website is vast, and the convergence of information from FED VTE is still ongoing so it's hard to locate a lot of the resources.

What are some of the other resources out there that are being utilized and referred to your students when it comes to CEU's for Security X?

My A+ and Network+ had expiration dates in 2028. This was due to my earning the CASP+ and then renewing it by passing the ISACA CISM.

I passed the fifth version of Network+, which extended my Net+ and A+ until 2031. My first Network+ certification was in 2005.

At this point, I don't really see the point of taking any of the certification exams again if I've already passed them. Especially if I've passed multiple versions already.

I didn't even study for the Net+ this time. Didn't even download the objectives. Just signed up and took it blind and passed easily. The exams don't change enough from one version to the next to justify constantly retaking them. Maybe 10%-15% changes, tops.

I'll just renew them with CEUs from now on because there is zero value to constantly retaking exams just because the version changes. They don't list the version number on the certificate. Just the date originally earned and the expiration date.

For the record, none of my clients require that I have the most current CISSP, CISM, CAPM, MS Azure, or any other certification. It makes no sense at all for me to retake any CompTIA exam that I've already passed before.

I've still got DataX and Linux+ left to pass, and then I'm done taking CompTIA exams.

Hi everyone! Back when we were in the Facebook group, several people shared resources (vocab sheets, hands-on labs, etc). I have made some for my class over the last year, especially since we switched to Tech+ but wondered if anyone would share items they have made this year for either Tech+ or A+?

Thank you!!

CIN TTT Series: A+ Core 2 Sessions run from May 06, 2025, to June 05, 2025.

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.

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

I don't usually watch the sessions on demand, I try to attend in person as often as I can, but I am noticing that the chat window only goes back to a certain point. Am I missing something in viewing earlier messages? I like to follow along as folks are adding their 2-bits... (0-3)

Is CompTIA planning to offer CIN-TTT series for Linux+ in 2025?

Hi everyone!

It's been a few weeks now, but I'm so glad to share with you guys that I passed the exam Cloud+ CV0-004

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?

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

Hi All,

We are a CompTIA Platinum Partner in the UK and Australia and we offer our students a blended learning experience featuring self paced, online training alongside virtual live classroom delivery.

Our live 2 hour classrooms are there to supplement the self paced training, offer somehwere to ask questions and to offer exam prep advice. Typically, certfications are split into three, weekly, 2 hour classes taking place in the early evening of the relevant timezone.

We are urgently looking to enhance our offering covering in the UK, time zones for A+ and N+certifications.

The position is remote.

I am at a school district that has used TestOut PC Pro for years. I understanding the merging / moving the TestOut content to CompTIA but what I am confused about is if I need CertMaster Perform or CertMaster Learn for the A+ content?

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.

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.**

Now we have multiple enquiry for other certification. But when i tried to self certified first then the BDM saying now all material delivery is freeze so i didn't get any vouchers.
