Updated Certmaster Labs for Security+ 701

[jmcconnell]

Question about timing. I know that the new 701 test will be available on November 7th and that the 601 exam will be retired on 7/31/24. Our current cybersecurity course uses the 601 book and the CertMaster Labs for Security+. I am trying to determine if we need to make the change to the 701 content for the spring semester or if the 601 book and 601 related CertMaster Labs for Security+ will continue to be available through early 2024?

When will the 701 related CertMaster Labs be available for students?

Just trying to determine if I'm going to be able to have my students use both the 601 book and Certmaster Labs for spring or if we need to move to the 701 book and Certmaster Labs for spring.

Thanks!

@Stephen Schneiter - are you the best person to ask this question to? Thanks!

I suggest checking the transition guide for 701/601.

There's now CertMaster Learn and CertMaster Labs for Security+ (701).
Check your admin or CompTIA rep if they can provide it for you.
The CompTIA website only shows 601 tho.

There's an ongoing TTT session for Sec+. Join one of the sessions. They're great!

I am taking the 701 TTT course. Where do I find the transition guide for 701/601?

Thanks!

It should be listed in the documents at the bottom of the screen when you are in the TTT on24 system.
Just relaunch one of the sessions and check in the Related Content(paperclip) down at the bottom. I think it was linked in the first or second session.

I looked in the resources for the TTT and didn't see the transition guide. And, unfortunately, I've not heard back from Steve Schneiter. With spring semester starting at the end of January, I'm concerned about the Certmaster Labs for Security+ and using it for my classes. When will the 701 related CertMaster Labs be available for purchase by students?
