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!
