What is Included in CompTIA Training Bundles?
Each CompTIA training and exam bundle includes:
- One year of access to CompTIA CertMaster Learn: Learn the material and prepare for the test with comprehensive online training from CompTIA. CertMaster Learn includes full coverage of the exam objectives, plus practice exam questions and a timed final assessment that simulates the real exam.
- One year of access to CompTIA Labs: get hands-on practice in a virtual lab environment. For all programs except ITF+, the Labs are conveniently integrated into the CertMaster Learn training. ITF+ includes separate Labs access.
- Exam voucher(s): one voucher is included for ITF+, Network+ and Security+ bundles. A+ certification requires passing two certification exams. Therefore, all A+ bundles include two A+ exam vouchers. NOTE: exam vouchers do not include a "retake" option.
Note: some military education programs do not permit bundling of exam vouchers and course registration fees. If you are planning to use Army Credentialing Assistance (CA) or Air Force COOL funding, please visit the military education exam vouchers page for additional information.
These training programs are provided by CompTIA.

Who Should Take Self-Paced Online Training?
Self-paced online training allows you to learn these skills online, any time that works for you. This is a good option for those whose work or family commitments make it difficult to attend scheduled training.
Because the training is self-paced, you will not have interaction with an instructor or with other participants, and there is no specific class schedule that you are required to follow. That means you will need to be persistent and motivated to stay on track to complete your training.
