    Typo in instructor guide

    I brought these points up at Summit and that's definitely the case. I also enjoy having the PDF books, but I think that will just mean you'll have to find your textbook solution with one of the traditional publishers. It makes sense that CompTIA is going to put their content delivery through...

    Comptia tech+ still not available?

    I'm not sure how CompTIA is going to address this - perhaps deferring that out to the publishers like Cengage and Pearson, which will probably continue to write text books for those environments that still want them.

    Comptia tech+ still not available?

    Thanks Stephen. I spoke to @Becky Mann about this during Summit. She really wanted to know why schools were insisting on having textbooks still. I can see that CompTIA would probably rather focus the effort into Certmaster Perform, but I think a lot of folks will wonder about this. On the...

    Comptia tech+ still not available?

    Congrats on the nuptials! So, Tech+ isn't going to have a PDF like before. All of the materials for certifications that CompTIA is updating are getting pushed into CertMaster Perform - so one of the biggest changes - no books like we had before - at least that's my understanding. Offline...

    Typo in instructor guide

    Perhaps Support would be your best bet, although I don't see much to happen with that, since the next revision of Security+ will deliver through CertMaster Perform, so the guides themselves will go away, I'm thinking.

    CompTia AI contents

    If I read your question correctly, you're wondering about the Expansions that CompTIA is doing. Essentially, I see these as addenda to the regular certs that are being offered, so probably not like a 'deeper on a particular topic' or a self-standing cert. I like to think of it as say adding a...

    CompTIA AI add ons

    I think that's how Teresa Sears pitched it at Summit - that it would be more of an add-on enhancement. It's an interesting turn for CompTIA.

You can always reach out to our admissions team and set something up. Maybe they can help you. There may be some additional accommodations stuff that can be done...

    N+ 009 Exam Voucher

    Hey Nathan: The window for the sessions ends two weeks after the last session. After that, it can take about 6-8 weeks. There were a LOT of participants in the last session (which is a good thing!) and those have to be qualified (there are a lot of scammers that end up trying to get free...

    Throwback from CompTIA Partner Summit at Atlanta

    The pleasure was mine, mate. Every year, I am excited and humbled to be able to meet with many great people from the CIN, both old and new. I do hope to see you again and hear what great things you're doing in field. But I hope it won't be until Nashville before we see great things - so...

    ONLY two certifications

    Security+ is the definitive first choice, because every contractor with an IAT/IAM requirement is going to want it on your resume, particularly if you are going to leave the military with a security clearance. If you're looking to go Cyber, then CySA+ or CEH may be good things to go for...

    AI’s Different Results Thwart Plagiarism Checkers

    This is why, in my thinking, that term papers, essays, and written assignments probably should diminish as an assessment of capability, going back to things like oral presentations and hands-on labs to demonstrate skill. A lot of colleges these days make use of discussion boards and the like to...

    Anyone have a Canvas Shell for ITF+ for best practices for a college course?

    Dr. Mary - Don't forget to reach out to your CompTIA Business Success Manager for access to all products for Partners. They're usually the ones that can run point on this stuff. Oh, and since you're new, I'd love to see you drop a post on this thread, so we can get to know you better...

    Any information about next version of Server+?

    I think with all the change-over at CompTIA, integration with TestOut, the roll of Certmaster Perform, and all the other initiatives in play, the 'forever' certs haven't been getting much updating. And that's just fine from my perspective, since Server+ hasn't really changed that much since...
