    Booked the wrong exam! Security+

    I accidently booked one of my students for Security+ SY0-701, but he wanted to write 601 while it's still available. (And that's the content he's studied for) We run our PearsonVue test center, so I think there is an option to cancel the order. But I'm worried that the voucher will not be...

    Exam codes in Pearsonvue for Network+?

    Hi, We run our own pearsonvue test center at our college (private), and was noticing the exam codes for Network+. In the CompTIA list, there is N10-008 for the Network+ exam, but there is also N10-008-ADA. Any clue what the ADA exam is for?

    CTT+ Poll

    I'm disappointed that CompTIA is retiring the CTT+. I bought the book last year and was planning to tackle the cert this late Spring. I guess I'll just read it, but now have no chance to earn the credential as our semester has started and I'm loaded with classes. Maybe they will come out with...

    Free/opensource A+ or A+ like textbooks or materials

    @jgoodrich Is your school already a member of Cisco Network Academy? If so, the "IT Essentials" course should be fairly close to the A+ exam objectives.

    Alternative Acceptable forms of ID

    We run a private PearsonVue test center and have access to CompTIA's policies. Here is a blurb from their policy on Candidate ID's: Non student/Minors require a Primary and Secondary ID. Here's a blurb from PearsonVue on ID's:

    How long have you been CompTIA certified?

    I'm in the same boat as a lot of you. ☺️ There's also Linux Essentials from LPI, MTA Server from Microsoft and CCNA from Cisco. Probably tackle CTT+ next.

    Certification statistics?

    Well said. We are doing most (if not all) of those things already with our current technology based programs. We are located in the middle of British Columbia, Canada. We definitely push hands-on and our students have access to real world equipment. We have a full 20 station computer lab with a...

    Certification statistics?

    Thanks Rick. Yes, we are already a CAPP member. I was just hoping for more "ammo" to help promote our program and it's alignment with CompTIA's certifications. I'll dig around the tubes and see if I can find any other articles promoting the case for graduates to earn credentials from the likes...

    Certification statistics?

    I'm wondering if there are publicly available statistics (or graphs) on CompTIA certifications taken, say in North America (or world wide) over the last few years. We are re-vamping our Technology program at our college and will be designing new courses that will align in parallel with CompTIA...

    Tax on vouchers?

    I sent an email to [email protected] but haven't heard back yet. I believe the business director for Canada has just recently changed hands, so hopefully I'll hear back something soon. Thanks!

    Tax on vouchers?

    It was directly though the store.comptia.org, like I always do. Here's a quick snapshot if I were to buy one again.

    Tax on vouchers?

    I just purchased an academy partner A+ voucher for $106.00US and noticed there is now a $12.72 tax, so the total bill came $118.72 US. I purchased an A+ voucher in June for $106.00 US, no tax. Something change recently? Thanks,
