Where is AI Essential's ?

You can check here https://www.diontraining.com/blogs/comptias-new-ai-essentials-course
You can also check this https://www.udemy.com/course/comptia-ai-essentials-fundamentals-for-businesstech-qas/
CompTIA has a web page for each certification that includes information such as launch date, number of questions, passing scores, etc.

The pages generally fall under this type of url:

https://www.comptia.org/certifications/a for A+

https://www.comptia.org/certifications/network for Network+

https://www.comptia.org/certifications/security for Security+

The AI cert info will be posted in https://www.comptia.org/certifications/ai when they get around to making that page. Right now, that url generates a 404 error. You can check it daily to see when it will be up or create a scraper to do that for you

Ok thank you!
 
The official announcement was on the CompTIA site on this page.


CompTIA AI Essentials was scheduled for release, but that date has come and gone without any additional information being released.

My prediction is that the pending sale of CompTIA IP to H.I.G. Capital and Thoma Bravo will have a significant impact on all releases. New programs may be released as planned. They may go through modifications. They may be rescheduled. They may be canceled. No one knows, and everyone who might know is completely silent on the subject.
 
With AI, we're just starting to tip into the Trough of Disillusionment in the Gartner Hype Cycle, so I wouldn't be surprised if it never sees market as a certification. There just isn't the content to support it. And in 5 years when ML features make their way into everyday software products, AI will likely have lost all of it's buzz.

Thank you
 
I came across a preview of a course on Udemy claiming to cover CompTIA AI Fundamentals (the link was in the second post here). Honestly, I’m puzzled—CompTIA hasn’t even released an official course outline yet. My take? Dull, repetitive, and uninspired. I completely agree with Jason’s comment about the 'Trough of Disillusionment' in the Gartner Hype Cycle. AI is getting way too much hype.

Yes, AI has practical applications—I use it for real-world tasks like creating Snort or Splunk rules, configuring Cisco routing, writing scripts, and automating various processes. But beyond that, a lot of what’s being promoted feels like overblown noise from so-called 'experts' who seem to surface whenever a new trend hits the scene

I wouldn't worry about it. A former company that I used to work for paid for free Udemy subscriptions for all the employees. We had so much trouble finding any decent content that a lot of people canceled their free memberships, including myself. The company eventually dropped Udemy and allowed the employees to seek out their own training options and would reimburse them for it.

I'm not surprised Udemy has a course for a cert that doesn't exist. They have courses that don't map to the objectives, so this is par for the course for them.

Yes, I've noticed that when students show me videos from whatever dude decided to a do a course and sell it for less than 10 bucks, a completely unethical move. I don't know why Udemy allows that? Maybe their QC is really low.... I direct the kids to the CompTIA academic store....

Any video series, online course, or any other online content that is free or drastically inexpensive is usually of poor quality. Students don't know the difference and think that they should be able to find resources for less than $50 for a certification. Trainers who devalue education like that are doing a disservice to the students, the training profession, the certification organizations, and the tech industry.
