    PenTest+ Students have fewer labs than instructors

    I prepared to teach PT0-003 using the CertMaster instructor materials, which have 44 labs. The CertMaster PT0-003 student materials have only 28 labs. CompTIA customer service did not have any information on this. Does anyone here know why the CertMaster PT0-003 student and instructor...

    Printed courseware is gone, but what about the PDFs?

    I agree, thanks everyone for sharing your thoughts! Students who expressed a preference wanted to use a PDF or printed book, not the ebook. The "online only" ebooks means we can no longer buy CompTIA materials to use in classrooms that are not internet connected. I will miss having the choice...

    The name has been changed on the CASP+ Certificate

    I reported to CompTIA that although Certmetrics shows my passing the CAS-005 exam, the SecurityX certificate does not show the new expiration date. CompTIA's Director of Certification Operations is investigating this issue. I will pass on their response.
