Assistance from SMEs is crucial in providing an industry relevant exam. Potential SMEs must have at least 8 years of experience working in enterprise level security management. It is preferred that SMEs are CASP+ certified (or hold an equivalent/higher credential).
SMEs who attend the workshop will receive:
In recognition of their contributions, all SMEs who participate in the entire Item Writing workshop will have their names and companies (if provided) listed on the CompTIA website.
*International SMEs will instead receive $540/day stipend ($2,700 total) to help defer additional travel costs.
Based on changing state and government guidelines/requirements, vaccination is currently not required for workshop participants.
When: January 22 - 26, 2024
Where: CompTIA Headquarters; 3500 Lacey Rd. Suite 100 Downers Grove, IL 60515 (Downers Grove is a suburb of Chicago)
