    Inquiry About Becoming a CompTIA Instructor

    All you have to do to be a CompTIA instructor is pass a CompTIA certification exam and teach the course. That's it. Nothing else.

    DataX is renamed DataAI

    Both certifications barely had any market penetration, and then they decided to rename both, making them less recognizable to recruiters. This is a very strange decision.

    What is the status of the next version of Security+?

    There has been no official date listed for Security+. SecAI+ goes live February 17, 2026. Both of those answers can be found on the CompTIA website.

    DataX is renamed DataAI

    Renaming so many certs makes it much more difficult to promote the brand. CASP was renamed SecurityX. IT Fundamentals+ was renamed Tech+. They literally named it DataX to follow the XPert level certifications of SecurityX and CloudNetX. This seems so arbitrary.
