    Thanks for replying. I ended up reaching out to our business manager. It was indeed an issue. Not sure if it was CompTIA's issue or PearsonVue's issue. Testing Center wasn't even listed as a choice. So you couldn't even get to the point where you pick a testing center. The only choice was OnVue...

    Have you had anyone try to register for the exam recently? I had mine scheduled and tried to reschedule it and kept receiving an error. I ended up just canceling the exam. When I got to schedule it, it won't give an option for a testing center, only OnVue and I have a private code. I have a...

    Post Quality and CIN (long-read - get some coffee)

    Well said! I have to admit, I have stopped checking the CIN because of the posts over the last couple of months. I consistently see posts where answers can be found via Google. All of the "Where is my voucher" posts drive me bonkers because earning a voucher is not the main benefit of the TTT...

    Instructor Lab Access

    You would need to talk to your corporate partner. They would be the ones who would assign you access to the labs or any materials.

    Are Comptia training instructors required to be certified in the course they teach?

    If they have never gone through the actual testing experience with PearsonVue, how will they answer those questions? We all know there is more to passing CompTIA certifications than knowledge. It is also the skill to be able to sit for the test and pass it. Regarding the wording, navigating...

    Hello, can I ask if the CTT certificate has now changed to Tech+?

    Tech+ (FC0-U71) is the new version of ITF+ (IT Fundamentals+ FC0-U61). It has nothing to do with CTT. I hosted the sneak peek in April. Here is the link to be able to watch it on demand. https://event.on24.com/wcc/r/4557339/4143CCCD5C17808C74BE88BE5A096C21

    Are Comptia training instructors required to be certified in the course they teach?

    Required - no not really. Should he be, absolutely, hands down, no question. So much of passing certification exams is being able to navigate the exams themselves. The language of the questions, the testing experience with PBQs, etc. I would never consider having someone teach a certification...

    Comptia Network+ TTT

    Rest assured, he is doing everything he can. He posted an update it will be soon. I just checked the partner dashboard and it lists June 20 as the material availability.

    Comptia Network+ TTT

    Stephen is a rock star. He does everything possible and puts in every effort. Things like this are giant puzzles because of multiple teams of people that he is not in charge of. If the materials are not available he cannot magically make them appear. I applaud Stephen for everything he does...

    Boot Camps

    My organization does some "boot camps" and we take a similar approach. The exam is NOT on the last day. Depending on the client, we recommend spreading things over a couple of weeks. So, week 1 is the lecture "boot camp", week 2 is finishing materials like CertMaster Learn and Labs, week 3 may...

    Instructor Courseware

    Work with who you are teaching for, or your CompTIA business development manager. They are the ones who would provide access.

    To validate that I am an official CompTIA instructor, do I need to have the CTT+ or is there another new related certification?

    I work for a commercial training organization. We require instructors to have taken, and passed, the certification they are teaching. We prefer them to have taken the version of the exam they are teaching AND have the next certification upwards if that cert lies in a path. For example, for...

    Instructor needed to teach Networking and Cybersecurity

    I am fully committed, but I grew up in Bryan! Glad to see CompTIA offerings in NW Ohio.
