You'll need to become an approved partner first.

It's not 39 certifications. It's only 16, with the rest being CompCerts. CompCerts only require passing a quiz and no CEUs. They're not full-blown certifications.

Am I wrong in thinking these are the rebranded TestOut kits?

 

[Tess Sluijter]

I was told today on a help call (June 4, 2025) that the academic store was removed, and students need to purchase through the normal store. At checkout, there will be a place for students to enter their student ID number to get the academic discount. However, this process has not yet been set up, or the help desk person I was speaking with did not fully understand the new process. There will be some sort of verification process to validate that the student is still active at the school. It would be great if CompTIA would release some type of information about this.

Wow, okay... yeah... it would do wonders if they actually announced that properly; this may get confusing for a lot of kids.

All the more so, because if I google for "comptia academic store", URLs like these are still returned -> https://academic-store.comptia.org/user/signup

Oh and if you hack out the overlay in CSS, the sign-up will still try to process via SheerID.

I'm not certain. I never used TestOut.

ACtually we are partner, the rebranded logos doesnt have the new partner logo?

Oooh is that what you meant?

Reach out to your regional CompTIA representative to ask them this question. They should put pressure on their PR team, to make new partner logos available to you.

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.

Thanks to a fellow trainer on r/comptia I've now found a page which provides student payment/discount instructions.
