Hi, just like to ask, I have my existing comptia account tied up to my personal account, now, we got approved as a partner, I logged in and registered using my corporate email which dont have any certifications tied up. Is there a way to combine those two? or do I need to combine those two? or just leave it like that,,, the CIN requires business email....

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.

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.

The iMac M4 was delivered today much needed update from Windows Surface. How many of you are looking at updating hardware to support AI.

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.

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))

Very well presented Core 1 & Core 2 TTT sessions by Ms. Lynn Warne. Had to watch "on demand" but enjoyed each session!
Thank you for all the new materials being offered in the Certmaster/TestOut platform, we have been using it for years...

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:

• New Account Creation:
  Login to view embedded media
• Student Account Creation with SheerID callout:
  Login to view embedded media
• CompTIA Central:
  Login to view embedded media
• Navigating Purchasing:
  Login to view embedded media
• B2B Customer Profile Set-up (Tax exempt, W-9, Line of credit):
  Login to view embedded media

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,
Stephen

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?

When is TestOut and CertMaster going to merge like A+ and Networking+?

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.

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?

Mapping CompTIA to Apprenticeship’s can give industrial insights to academic qualifications but how many of you do this?

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.

I went to the main CompTIA website today and was greeted with the following message:

We're excited to announce the launch of our new and improved website experience!
To prepare for this transition, this site will be temporarily unavailable on June 3, 2025, from 10:00 AM CST to 1:00 PM CST.

Hi waiting patiently for exam vouchers and catching up on the A+ TTT sessions have been on holiday in Lisbon, Portugal

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!

Looking forward to speaking at the 2025 NICE Conference and Expo next week in Denver, CO! I will be presenting Tuesday morning June 3, 2025. I will be presenting with Brian Correia of SANS\GIAC and Jim Wiggins of FITSI - Federal IT Security Institute. We will be discussing the changes with the new Skills-First Initiatives.

If anyone is attending NICE in Denver next, I hope we are able to connect!

I would like to share that we had a wonderful training here.

We initially advertised for a CompTIA security + for specific dates. Corporate clients came and suggested their timelines which we have accommodated.
one client asked for Linux plus, cause they use Linux on their servers. We called for assistance here at CIN, and we finally agreed with Brian Wafula from Kenya who we invited to Malawi for in situ Linux plus Training.

This client was very happy, because of how well Brian 'hammered' the lessons.

We also thank Grace our Account Manager from CompTIA in South Africa, for the support she gave us, she was swift to assist when we faced some challenges. she has been and is giving us good support.

Thanking all CINERS who came forth for support, and suggestions on period. In fact we have agreed to support them online for a specific timeline to fully gain the confidence to sit for exam.

Thanks Thanks

I'm looking for CompTIA A+ subject matter experts to review content to ensure it meets the new CompTIA certification standards. If you are interested, please respond to this thread or email me at [email protected].

I already watched the entire series of SecurityX CAS-005 on demand. When will I get the voucher?

Hello everyone!

Long story short I am AD Army and there is a gap at my installation for young soldiers to achieve certs without paying massive out of pocket expenses. Working to put the pieces together to teach entry level CompTIA in line with the certs I have. I've seen a lot of back and forth on here how to get the course material, cert master, etc. I found a way to get the vouchers covered for them from the Army but now I'm essentially trying to build a bootcamp that I can host locally for them. Any information anyone can offer will be much appreciated!

Hello

I am in the process of starting a youth IT initiative in Kentucky whereas I will need to hire instructors for A+, Network+ and Security+. I wanted to know if someone in this community could tell me what it takes to hire instructors along with any other logistics that come along with that?
