Use the drop down tabs below to find information on specific certifications.

Special Note

CASP+ Name Change To SecurityX

CompTIA Advanced Security Practitioner (CASP+) has been re-branded to SecurityX.. The name change emphasizes the advanced, or “Xpert” level certifications in the CompTIA portfolio. This name change will not affect the certification status of current CASP+ certification holders or the continuing education (CE) program. Those with an active CASP+ certification will automatically receive the rebranded SecurityX badge and can download a new certificate and transcript in CertMetrics. Unexpired CASP+ exam vouchers will work for the SecurityX exam. The certification will continue to:

  • Validate job tasks performed by a security professional with 10 years of IT experience and 5 years of security experience
  • Be designed around the tasks performed by senior security engineer and security architect roles
  • Be a natural progression from the job roles aligned to Security+

Schedule Your Exam

Once you’ve requested your voucher, ECPI University staff will be in touch to assist with scheduling. ECPI University students and alumni may test in one of three ways.

OPTION 1: Take your test on campus—if your campus has an available testing center. (To schedule an on-campus exam, please contact your campus for assistance.)
OPTION 2: Use your voucher code to schedule your exam at a nearby off-site Pearson VUE testing site.
OPTION 3: Use your voucher code to test at home using Pearson’s OnVUE testing platform (if applicable).

IMPORTANT notice for remote & off-site testers:  After you test, you need to let ECPI University staff know the result. Please respond to your voucher email or use the Ask a Librarian form to share your results.

Pearson CompTIA Remote Testing

In addition to testing at a Pearson Test Center, CompTIA is offering online certification testing. Candidates can:

  • Test anywhere – especially from the security and privacy of their own home.
  • Test anytime – online testing can be conducted 24/7, schedule your exam whenever time permits, avoiding competing priorities or conflicts.
  • Test in a highly secure environment – remote proctoring ensures all candidates test under the same secure monitoring conditions as a test center.
