CompTIA 2024 Partner Pricing
- Thread starter Gregory Childers
- Start date
I believe the email is just a heads up that prices are changing. Look for more detailed pricing information and structure, on February 1st.
I think Stephen is right here. I was used to seeing the new price list come out in January, however, it looks like it was delayed a month. According to the whisperings I've heard, it will be about a 3% increase.
I know they are going up. I don't remember the latest %. I think our business development manager told us late fall it was be 2% or 3% like @Rick Butler mentioned. Happens every year. We had to factor it into an RFP we were writing at the time so had checked with our business development manager. We've already received new pricing for materials.
I have noticed that since February 1st not seeing discount on academic store

The new exam prices:
www.comptia.org
Out on the interwebs, the newbies are freaking out about the price increases. Sec+ went from $392 to $404. A whole $12.
Security+ (Plus) Certification | CompTIA
Security+ validates the core skills required for a career in IT security and cybersecurity. Learn about the certification, available training and the exam.

Psychologically this is the same as with buying anything… would you pay $200 or $199.99.
Thought the $404 seems a bit off, they should have gone for $399 instead. It ‘looks’ cheaper than $404… ?

The academic partner purchase experience does not seem to be the same as in the past.
If I wish to purchase single Tech+ voucher (new school district) for a student where do I go? Is the cost in the US $97 for partners?

My suggestion is the CompTIA Academic Marketplace for the initial purchase of a Tech+ voucher associated with a new school district.
Acedemic Store
If you are registered as a partner, the discounted price for Tech+ vouchers is typically $97 USD

I always just used the CompTIA store, with my registered partner account.
But you appear to be correct: before and after logging into the EU Store, vouchers for Linux+ are EUR 333.
It seems that my partner discount has been stripped.
I'm reaching out to my contact, to see what's up.

So what about CompTIA partnership being expired? Does it renew automatically? And if expired, does it affect at store?
I didn't say my partnership expired, I'm saying that my partner account on the CompTIA store no longer has its discount. I've reached out to my contact, to see what happened.
Back in February, Stephen indicated that CompTIA are working on the Partners website -> https://cin.comptia.org/threads/authorized-partner-list-is-gone.2226/ But the list of authorized partners is still missing, so I can't even tell if I'm still on there.
The academic store is only for registered and actively enrolled students in US, CA and UK colleges and universities. It's not at all relevant for commercial delivery partners.
Okay thanks. I was wondering if say our CompTIA partnership has expired, will I be able to benefits of the discounts
No of course not.
If your company is no longer an authorized partner, you will no longer get discounts.
