CompTIAReviews of comptia.org

I bought the Network+ course but now access to testout.com has been unavailable for three days straight. No answer to support requests either. I can only warn people to AVOID CompTIAs own courses if they can not guarantee availability when you want to do your learning ... they probably need to ask somebody who has IT skill ;)

The word terrible doesn't comprehend how bad this company is.

My CompTIA account had technical issues due to their SSO migration effort. I also stopped receiving e-mail messages from them during that time as well. By the time I regained access to my account, my cert had expired by a few days. I worked with them to provide all of the details about how I was unable to renew my cert in time due to their issues, but they were less than helpful and only offered a discount voucher to retake the exam from scratch rather than allowing me to do CE. I had kept my Sec+ valid for over 10 years until this happened... I'm not surprised by their low ratings on this site considering they scam their "candidates" in order to make more money selling exam vouchers.

Nothing about this course teaches you anything , simulated enviroments are complete BS

I had a death in the family that I’ve been dealing with all year and ask for a short extension due to the circumstances. Nope no chance.

I've had my A+ and N+ for about ten years . I bought there renewal and finished it by 12 hours late of expiration. I was told to kick rocks by the company. called multiple different times. asked to speak with a manger they did not let me . They can stay expired I will just take my business else where. I have looked into other companys like microsoft and there more forgiving and understanding . The three year renewal how ever you look at it is a money grab. every one before 2013 doesnt have to deal with this.

It’s pretty bad when some of the questions on the exam are not counted toward your score, and are only for “experimental purposes” I smell foul play and don’t think it’s fair to exclude some answers from people scores. Also the study materials from CompTIA are way overpriced and CompTIA needs to do a better job of proofreading their material and using proper grammar, before posting and publishing it. Lots of unprofessional grammar and typos found. Also, I’ve had issues with some of their labs online. I’ve had to restart the lab several times due to connection issues and I don’t have the worst Internet at home.

Just taught an A+ class. Core 1 and Core 2 are clearly written by different people or teams. Bit disappointed as its not a cheap course. Core 1 has a logical layout and introduces topics well. The modules on the platform are good and walk learners through each topic. practice exams have links to where to find the info for revision. Labs can be better, the UI is glitchy and not quite user friendly. Core 2 is a much shorter module and should possibly have Mobile devices added to equalise the 2 Cores. It is very repetitive with passwords, group policy and others being mentioned multiple times in different modules. This could be avoided by introducing the topic, covering it and then referring to it in relevant modules. Labs are much more user friendly, but practice exams have no link to find the information in the modules. Very USA centric - HIPAA, OSHA and others are only in USA, yet in content. This should be more generic for global reach There are a few things not covered in platform modules or teaching resources - that are then in exams and practice exams. I would suggest a full review of both teaching materials and the platform modules to ensure it flows better and that all questions in practice exams and actual exams are covered. Remove specific acronyms like HIPAA and OSHA, and discuss the concept.
