CloudNetX not showing up in my list of certifications

I took the CloudNetX beta exam in August 2024. Earlier in February 2025, I received an email from CompTIA stating that I had passed the exam.

As of the start of March 2025, the CompTIA CloudNetX still does not show up in my list of certifications on the CompTIA portal. It doesn't even show up in my history of exams on the CompTIA portal, even though it does show up on the Pearson Vue web site, along with a score report.

Does anyone know what is the issue delaying the update to the CompTIA portal?

CompTIA CloudNetX Certification Exam has been available on PearsonVUE

Today, I have just checked CompTIA certification exams on PearsonVUE and I have seen that CompTIA CloudNetX Certification Exam was available to take the exam.
You could take the exam now.
P/s: CloudNetX certificate for who passed the beta exam that was not still available to download ;););)!

Tech+ exam information?

I'm teaching the new Tech+ course this semester, and I have some students interested in taking the cert exam. Anyone know when the Tech+ exam information will be posted to the website? The website still says "Exam details coming soon."

With a little experimenting, I found the Tech+ exam is actually listed as available to schedule once you sign in. But I don't see information on how long the exam is or how many questions. And this information is not available on my latest version of the exam objectives.

Thanks :love:

Pentest+ PT0-003 Participation Proof - Missing Name Label in Session 1

I am reviewing the proof of participation for the recent Pentest+ 003 sessions and noticed that my name label is missing in session 1. Has anyone else encountered the same issue? From my review, this problem only appears in session 1, while the rest of the sessions seem fine. @Stephen Schneiter could you please assist in looking into this matter? Could this affect the voucher issuance for participants? If so, I hope we can address it early.

Thank you for your help!

Becoming a CompTIA Tutor/Mentor

Hello all,
I have a small group of younger future IT pros and I would like to train them for CompTIA exams. How can I get started?

I am certified in A+ and Security+ and I am currently working towards my CySA+ and have 10+ years of (public and private sector) experience. I recently created my own program to carry out my goal to advocate for IT.

Thank you!

CompTIA Data+ Renewal

Hi everyone

Time has flown so fast and it's time to renew Data+ . I reminisced the post I made here in May 2022.

I'm not sure yet whether I'd be able to afford the $75 renewal fee, however, I received a DataX exam voucher for participating in the TTT. If I pass DataX, is it considered a higher level than Data+ and will my CEU fees be waived? I have already met the CEU points requirement by passing two non-CompTIA certifications.

Or what else can I do to have the CEU fees waived?

Does siting the SecurityX exam recertifies Cloud+?

I noticed that getting the first certificate (Proof of Participation) of the TTT for SecurityX is states that my participation is good for 2 CEU credit per hour toward the renewal of your "Cloud+. Does this mean siting the SecurityX exam will renew Cloud+? On the website Renew existing certifications its not listed but I wondered if addition to the name change if that has change.

Has anyone taught CySA+ CS0-003 within the last few months?

So the reason I ask is that I taught the class in November of 2024 and there were 14 modules/chapters and corresponding 14 PowerPoints. The were roughly 30+ labs. Someone in my organization posted a set of slides and there were only 12. Comparing Lesson 1 from the 14 group and 12 group, the latter had 25 slides while the former (older one relatively speaking had 32 slides)

I reached out to my associate to see where he downloaded the shorter versions from but I wanted to reach out and see if anyone else saw or experienced this weird discrepancy.

Lesson 12 - Understanding Application Vulnerability Assessment

Lesson 14 - Understanding Application Security and Attack Mitigation best Practices

Both versions represent the last lessons.

Thanks.

Issue Watching On-Demand Courses - Session Ends Prematurely

Hi everyone,

I'm experiencing an issue while watching some on-demand courses. After about 1 or 2 minutes, the video ends and redirects me to a page stating that the event has already ended. However, when I paste the link again, it continues from where the video stopped.

Has anyone else encountered this problem? Any suggestions on how to resolve it?

Thanks!
