    CIN TTT Series: AI Fundamentals

    Registered. I accessed the course through my institution's portal and am already brainstorming ways to turn it into an institutionalized course requirement. My goal is to have it approved as a mandatory class for all students, similar to courses such as College Success or Introduction to...

    Question about the CertMaster Learn Inclusions in some certifications

    CompTIA used to offer CertMaster trial access links on some of their certification pages, but I don't see those being offered anymore. I think maybe @Stephen Schneiter can be of assistance here. That said, I can personally vouch for the quality of the CompTIA training materials. I am fortunate...

    Question about the CertMaster Learn Inclusions in some certifications

    This one can be confusing because CompTIA shuffled the products around in 2024 whan they bought Test Out and things got renamed. What you remember (launching actual VM lab environments right inside CertMaster Learn) was the old "Integrated Learn + Labs" product. That's now called CertMaster...

    Passed SecAI+ Perfect Score

    Wanting to know your score is understandable. Everybody is curious about how they performed. But once the certification body determines that a candidate has met the required standard, the official result is really pass or fail.

    Passed SecAI+ Perfect Score

    Thank you. The final report you get now changed, Previously the only Pass / Fail I think it was CASP+ / Security X. But here I saw the score in the section where the exam finishes, but once you click next and receive the final score report it only says pass.

    Passed SecAI+ Perfect Score

    I passed CompTIA SecAI+ with a perfect score. The exam shows you the score right after you finish, but the official report only says “Pass.” My previous highest CompTIA score was an 885 on Security+ back in 2014, so this one felt good. I used CertMaster through our academic partnership, which...

    Security+ CEU's

    You can renew your certification either by taking the newest version of Security+ or by earning a higher-level certification such as CySA+, PenTest+, or SecurityX. Another option is to earn CEUs through additional certifications. CompTIA provides the full list here...

    CloudNetX renewal

    I will stay with the certifications I currently hold. I can renew from SecurityX down to A+, and from Cloud+ to Linux+. This time, I had the opportunity to create and teach college-level courses using the SecurityX material through our partnership with CompTIA. Through that alone, I earned 80...

    Why recertify?

    Your post is so spot on on so many points. Repeating the same certification exam version after version often adds limited professional value compared to expanding into adjacent or higher-level domains that strengthen both instructional capability and real-world effectiveness. Like you, I hold...

    DataX is renamed DataAI

    Rename in order to sell. Like CASP to Security X (horrible choice)

    How often do you teach each of the CompTIA courses per year?

    The certifications I currently hold were obtained because they were required by the university where I teach (a Full CompTIA Academic Partner). These include A+ (though it has been years since I last taught it), Network+, Security+, CySA+, PenTest+, Security-X, Cloud+, Linux+, and Server+. It’s...

    Security X CEU's

    Yes, I got the CASP+ first and the Security X was just given to us. Thanks for the reply

    New CompTIA web site launch

    No you are not wrong, What you saw are the TestOut products now with the CompTIA logo. TestOut is now fully integrated. I'm using their Cyber defender Pro course to build the CySA+ course in the university I work.

    When is TestOut going to merge with CertMaster?

    It's already been merged. The only courses still available on CertMaster are those that haven’t been updated yet. I have access to both platforms, and currently, TestOut includes all the courses listed on the official CompTIA site. CertMaster only hosts courses for certifications that haven’t...

    Security X CEU's

    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...
