Get CompTIA Tech+ voucher or discount

Would it still be possible to get a voucher or discount for the CompTIA Tech+ certification exam? I even took the webinars last year and received the voucher, but due to other priorities I ended up letting time pass and it expired. I plan to take the exam later this year. Thanks for any help or guidance. &;-D

Adjunct College Teaching Interest-Canvas LMS (2 years Professor)

I am interested in teaching another class or two along with my duties. I have been teaching using CompTIA both Asynchronous and Synchronous for the last 2 years as an Assistant Professor. I have a recent PhD in IT and have been teaching Cybersecurity classes mainly. In the past, I was an MCT and completed and was certified in a CCT class prior.

I have a lot of experience with Canvas and CompTIA, especially with Asynchronous, and prefer it along with discussion questions I grade and add. I have done all the normal quizzes and forum posts through Canvas to add to the class.

Release date of the CompTIA Tech+ Instructor Edition eBook on comptia shop?

I'm glad to see the CompTIA Tech+ eBook after the website changes, which currently seems to only be available as a Student Edition. However, I'm looking for the Instructor Edition. How much longer until the CompTIA Tech+ Instructor Edition eBook is released/available.

CompTIA Security+ Trainer required Nigeria

A CompTIA partner is looking for a certified, experienced trainer to deliver training for a client. They should be certified in Security+ and familiar with official CompTIA tools e.g CM Learn & Labs. DM me with your details if you qualify and I can do an introduction.

Content/Course Development for CompTIA Partners

Hello, quick note about content and course development.

I know as a former SME and trainer that the CompTIA suite of content is excellent, however, when it comes to "special programs" like for US Military Veterans or extended bootcamps some companies may need to develop a very specific program or additional courses.

Focus areas: AI, Blockchain, CompTIA, Cloud Computing, Data Analytics, Digital Marketing and Solutions Architecture

Please reach out if you are looking to build out a program like a bootcamp or a certification.

I have extensive experience from numerous roles with that. (O'Reilly Media, ACI Learning, Pearson, 101 Blockchains, SecureFlag, Brocade (Broadcom))

New E-Commerce Store Tutorials

CompTIA launched its new website and e-commerce store on Tuesday this week. I have seen a few questions about the site and making purchases.
There have been a number of videos created to help users walk through several areas of the new website.

The topics for these videos include:
Please note that this currently just affects U.S. customers. The International store will be launching a little later this year. If you are having issues trying to place an order, you need to reach out to your account representative. I hope these videos will be able to answer some questions and are helpful.

Thank you,

Security X CEU's

I recently gained instructor access to the TestOut Platform, so I haven’t completed a full course there yet—unlike CertMaster, where I’ve finished several courses either as exam prep or to earn CEUs. Does anyone know if completing the SecurityX training (or any other course) on TestOut provides a certificate of completion, and whether that certificate can be used to claim CEUs for renewing the CASP+/SecurityX cert? Also, I noticed they’ve added a lot of new training content for Cisco, Microsoft, and other platforms. Do those courses also qualify for CEUs?

Looking for a Comptia A+ instructor

I'm searching for a Comptia A+ instructor right now to work with five Cape Town-based students. In less than a week, the classes will be offered online. It is ideal for the instructor to be from South Africa. We urgently need an instructor, therefore please get in touch with me. Looking forward to your reply.

Academic Pricing for CompTIA Academic Partners Currently Unavailable

I am attempting to purchase exam vouchers for my students, and it appears that with the new website store, academic pricing is not available. Is anyone else experiencing this issue? Does anyone know how to purchase vouchers for students at the academic price now that PearsonVue no longer sells CompTIA vouchers and the new CompTIA store is not supporting academic pricing?

** MY Cybersecurity Insider Article **

Good morning, team! My article made Cybersecurity Insider!

  • Educational institutions are prime targets for cyberattacks, with a 35% increase in incidents from 2023 to 2024, largely due to their vast data resources and reliance on outdated systems.

  • Common threats include phishing (vishing, smishing, and sophisticated emails) and unauthorized logins, making cybersecurity awareness critical for faculty and students alike.

  • To mitigate risks, schools should implement multi-factor authentication, follow the NIST cybersecurity framework, regularly update and patch systems, invest in zero-trust security, and maintain clear disaster recovery documentation.

No Tech+ ID card?

I just received my certificate for passing Tech+. Thanks, CIN and TTT, for the voucher!

Sadly, there was only a certificate and no plastic card to add to my stack. Is this unique to Tech+, or are we losing the cards going forward? I like my collection of red and white CompTIA IDs and want to keep growing the stack!
