Yeah we used to offer the bootcamps but had higher requirements for those courses and explained that the fast paced class in a bootcamp are NOT meant for those entering into the IT/Cyber field. They are meant for professionals that have the experience and knowledge but need guidance on how to...

These are only available for authorized partner accounts and instructors. If the training partner cannot get them, then they have not set up their account correctly with CompTIA. As Rick said, they will need to contact CompTIA and get a representative assigned to them as an institution to assist.

Congratulations!

The schedule of two week is for covering every item, lab, quiz, etc. in the classroom. What I do is leave the quizzes and a majority of the labs for students to complete on their own. I pick several labs that I feel are critical for the exam based on my experience and knowledge of the exam...

Yeah this one (SecurityX) threw me through a loop because it was in the middle of the multiple choice section for me. I had the normal PBQs first, then like 12 MC, then the Virtual Machine Lab, and then more MC. Was not expecting that and it threw me off a bit.

The slides that I use for the presentation are the same instructor slides available on the reference downloads for instructors. I just modified the layout and design a little bit. Try downloading them and using the designer suggestions within PowerPoint. They are meant to be customizable by...

CompTIA exams have a combination of both PBQ (performance based questions) and multiple choice questions. By the number of questions, there are more multiple choice questions on the exam. This is the normal CompTIA exam format for exams with PBQ’s on them. However, that should not be read or...

Security+ 801 will release on November 17, 2026 as of right now. Preview access should be coordinated through your CompTIA representative on October 20, 2026.

Yeah. Certified is Certified... as long as it is an active credential that is all that matters!

There is no early access for instructors taking the exam. There is also no beta exam either. The release date is for the public as a whole.

I agree. IT's not like employers want to know your score or anything. All they care about is "Are you certified or not?" The scoring really doesn't matter either because if you score high, I doubt you are going back to restudy any area you missed, just like someone who scored lower, but still...

There is a tentative preview launch date of around October 20, 2026 for Sec+ 801.

There is coverage under Exam Objective 2.4 (Large Language Models) and EO 2.6is all AI usage with threats and vulnerabilities. See the above link for the exam objectives.

Security+ 801 CertMaster content is going into authoring and editing soon. :) The current proposal of objectives are listed here: Exam Objectives Under Development

You could just complete the CEU program for the highest certification program. Some certs also have the CERTMASTER CE program. https://www.comptia.org/continuing-education/choose/renew-with-a-single-activity/complete-a-comptia-certmaster-ce-course

I’m a contract trainer for CompTIA and we do have the requirement to sit for the current exam before we can teach the current course. No CEU upgrades for us. Also my government contracts also have that stipulation from USASOC and Navy Red Team/NCDOC. Must sit for the current exam vice submitting...

I always explain that now we really don’t need warchalking because most network providers like McDonalds, Target, and Chick Fil A now post the wireless network info right on their own front doors! No need for chalk drawings when they already print a sticker with the info on it themselves.

In order for higher level certs to renew lower ones from the same pathway, they all must be active and not expired, correct?

Not sure how this reply got here l, it was supposed to be on another post. Lol technology.
