Didn’t have that issue with mine. Try in a different browser

Renaming so many certs makes it much more difficult to promote the brand. CASP was renamed SecurityX. IT Fundamentals+ was renamed Tech+.

They literally named it DataX to follow the XPert level certifications of SecurityX and CloudNetX. This seems so arbitrary.

Nice! I created a new program at the college called Data Analysis & AI Specialist (DAAS) that essentially maps to the content in DataX, and we bundle the DataX certification with the program. So, this renaming aligns it more closely with our program title

Trying to catch up on demand, finally about halfway through the second video and periodically (at least once every few minutes) the video will stop and give the "this event has concluded. thank you for engaging with us" message. Then I have to hit the back button to get the video to play again, sometimes not where I left off. It's gotten to the point of being unbearable. Anyone else having/had this issue? Edit: it's not my network as far as I can tell (no dropped pings).

I took that one last back in 2021, just as a cold turkey, no studying - didn't get a perfect score, so that underscores this point...always stuff to learn.

Yes @Rick Butler as a CompTIA instructor it is continuous learning.

CompTIA DataAI: The Reimagined DataX Certification for the Advanced Data and AI Workforce

January 12, 2026

CompTIA is rebranding its advanced DataX certification as DataAI, reflecting the fundamental shift in how data work is performed across modern organizations. This official transition is set to take place on January 21, 2026.

Data and AI are no longer adjacent disciplines: Today’s data roles increasingly require proficiency in machine learning, advanced analytics, and AI-driven decision-making.

Artificial intelligence is becoming more deeply embedded into analytics, operations, and decision-making, with demand rising for professionals who can design, implement, and operate intelligent data systems responsibly and at scale.

CompTIA DataAI validates those capabilities, giving experienced professionals a clear way to demonstrate advanced expertise, while giving employers confidence that their data and AI initiatives are being built on sound technical, operational, and governance foundations.

DataX Rebrand: Meet the New DataAI Certification | CompTIA Blog

CompTIA rebrands DataX as DataAI—an expert cert validating AI, machine learning, MLOps, and advanced data skills.

1201 is virtually unchanged besides expanded acronyms. 1202 had the same plus a few new items. Here is a side-by-side comparison of 1202 v2 & v4 (aka v15).

Congratulations.

The best place to get the latest objectives is at https://www.comptia.org/en-us/certifications/a/core-1-and-2-v15/
The latest versions now seem to align with the certmaster numbering system.

I would attach them, but CompTIA wants you to accept the privacy notice.

HAPPY HOLIDAY!!

CINners, it has been a great year!! In 2025 we have added 1,895 new members to our community bringing the CIN community to just under 8,000 global members. In the community, we have shared great conversations, connections, resources and delivered 140 CIN webinars!

We are already underway planning webinars for the year, which will include series covering SecAI+, AutoOps+, CySA+, DataSys+, Security+, and SecOT+, just to name a few! We are also looking to welcome CIN's 10,000th member!

This community would not be where it is today without you!! Your participation and interest keep the community alive! In this holiday season, we wish you the very best and hope you have a great 2026!

@Gregory Childers thanks for your response. Kindly guide from where or how I can have access to official training materials like PPTs for the new courses.

thanks in advance.

Karthik: To get a hold of official curriculum from CompTIA, you'll need to connect to your CompTIA Business Development Manager if you/your organization is a Partner with CompTIA.

Hello @Stephen Schneiter ! May I request to your good office for an assistance on this? I appreciate your help. Thank you! (For context, I haven't use or schedule the voucher since I'm trying to book it, still same error appears. )

Yes, CompTIA PenTest+ builds upon foundational knowledge from Security+, covering similar security concepts but from an offensive, hands-on penetration testing perspective, validating skills in vulnerability management and ethical hacking. While Security+ covers broader security fundamentals (defensive), PenTest+ dives deeper into identifying, exploiting, and reporting vulnerabilities across various environments like cloud, web apps, and IoT.

Is the training online or on-site?

Does the PenTest+ covers any Security + module? or maybe i'll look for someone that has taken the certification for both (Security + and PenTest +)

Hi,

I think it could be better if the instructor you're looking for is PenTest+ certified.

PenTest+ Certification V3 (New Version) | CompTIA

CompTIA PenTest+ validates your ability to identify, mitigate, and report system vulnerabilities. Covering all stages of penetration testing across attack surfaces like cloud, web apps, APIs, and IoT, it emphasizes hands-on skills such as vulnerability management and lateral movement. This...

Security X does not cover penetration testing. Hope it helps.

Does the PenTest+ covers any Security + module? or maybe i'll look for someone that has taken the certification for both (Security + and PenTest +)
