Security+ Unusual Request from Contractor

[dlross]

Hello,

There's a company that reached out to me that was interested in hiring me to teach Security+ as a subcontractor for them when they are able to obtain contracts. I have no problem with that. Today, they contacted me and said they may are negotiating for a client in Costa Rica, and they want to know what the charge would be for the courseware and labs. So I asked them if they were expecting me to bring all that to the table, and they said yes. I'm fine with that. I have an LLC, but it sounds as though I would need to become a CompTIA authorized provider. Does anyone know the process for setting that up, or could perhaps point me in the direction of someone at CompTIA who could advise me?

Thanks!

As a contractor, I would NEVER agree to buy courseware and labs for a client. I would direct them to CompTIA to purchase it directly.

I've been scammed too many times. If they want courseware, they can get it.

Totally concur here. Provide the client with options, sure. At the very furthest, they provide the cash upfront if they wanted me to buy it on their behalf. But that's it. Contractor should never accept the client's risk on anything.
