Personal CompTIA account vs my Partner Approved Account

[PJVillanueva]

Hi, just like to ask, I have my existing comptia account tied up to my personal account, now, we got approved as a partner, I logged in and registered using my corporate email which dont have any certifications tied up. Is there a way to combine those two? or do I need to combine those two? or just leave it like that,,, the CIN requires business email....

Here is how I do it.

• Personal account - my original account where my certifications are. This is the account I used when I originally signed up for CIN because I was associated with a partner as a contract instructor to begin with years ago and didn't have an email address from them.
• Business partner account - this is the account I use as a program manager to assign materials for our instructors, etc.
• Instructor account - To make things even more confusing, I have a 3rd account as my "teaching" account because one of the places I taught couldn't used my personal account because it was already associated with another partner and I didn't want to unassociate it. There was a period of time I taught for 2 different CompTIA partners so they needed to stay seperate.

I refuse to merge my personal and business accounts because of the certifications I earned. They are mine. They are not my employers. Those certifications will move with me if I get a different job. I'm not planning on that anytime soon, but, if I did, I would lose access to my business email and potentially that business account.

Just my experience. I'm sure others are different.

2000% Abby! You're right! I always tell my students to sign up with their personal address, not their work or school email!

Can you change your employer address to your personal at any time? Great information.
