AI Essentials and AI Prompting Essentials

Hello @GingerHacker, if you added the AI Essentials/AI Prompting Essentials content through the CIN TTT Institution on the CertMaster Platform, then the assessments will be located under the My Assessents tab on CertMaster.

If you are already on the platform with another training institution, then it would be to your advantage to reach out to your CompTIA representative and ask that the AI Essentials/AI Prompting Essential titles be added to your account.

I hope this helps.
Thank you ! I’ll check there today ! Just had a hard time finding it

Wishing you the Best in 2026

Thanks so much for all you do and supporting trainers.
Seasons greetings too

Where can I find official CompTIA Network+ training slides (TTT access)?

Hello,

I have official CompTIA TTT / Training access for Network+.
Could you please confirm where I can find the official instructor training slides (PPT/PDF)?

I currently have access to:
- CertMaster Learn
- Labs / practice materials

However, I am looking specifically for:
- Official Network+ instructor slides
- Downloadable PPT or PDF materials (if available)

Additionally, if recorded videos of the TTT session are available, could you please let me know where I can access them or share the relevant links?

Are these slides and videos available in CompTIA Central, CertMaster, or a separate Instructor Resource portal?

Thank you for your support.
Hello @habib.jalouli the slides and other instructor resources are availble in CertMaster. When you look at your courses, to the right of the course title you will see the three dot menu option on the right. When you click on that you will see the resources for instructors. If you do not see that option, then you need to check with your organization or CompTIA representative to activate your instructor access to courses in CertMaster.

AI Essentials and AI Prompting Essentials

CompCert assessment: Prove your competency by passing the AI Essentials Competency Assessment and earn a downloadable CompTIA CompCert (Competency Certificate) to showcase your skills.
Hello @GingerHacker, if you added the AI Essentials/AI Prompting Essentials content through the CIN TTT Institution on the CertMaster Platform, then the assessments will be located under the My Assessents tab on CertMaster.

If you are already on the platform with another training institution, then it would be to your advantage to reach out to your CompTIA representative and ask that the AI Essentials/AI Prompting Essential titles be added to your account.

I hope this helps.

AI Essentials and AI Prompting Essentials

So
So I guess if folks buy the course and complete the online training fully, do they get the Compcert added to their accounts ? That is what I am trying to clarify as I am aware they are not full certifications such as CySa + OR Sec +

Holding AI Accountable

Mr. Pierce mentioned in his CIN TTT AI Essentials course the idea of holding LLMs responsible.

Here is an interesting legal suit that will set some legal precedent --


OpenAI, Microsoft face wrongful death lawsuit over ‘paranoid delusions’ that led former tech worker into murder-suicide​

I liken these issues to people who jump into water knowing they cannot swim. We cannot start blaming AI or technology for every societal ill or psychological breakdown of a person who doesn't seek professional help.

There is an over reliance on technology and social media like no time that I have ever seen in history in the past. At some point human beings have to be responsible for our own actions and understand that we need to learn how to use any advancement in this world. AI will change every single fabric of society over time. From work to criminality. It has already begun like a running deer. The next 3-10 years are really going to be a shift for humanity. The more we can teach and train and get others to learn. The better for some. The rest. It will be the survival of the fittest.

Every creation does not survive evolution. Unfortunately, this artificial shift forward will have unintended consequences.
