CertMaster Perform Xpert series vs Plus series

CertMaster Perform offers a different experience depending on which certification learners are completing.

The Xpert series certifications consist of DataX, SecurityX (launching late 2024), and CloudNetX (launching in 2025). It is for learners who already have tech experience and are pursuing advanced skills certifications. Therefore, CertMaster Perform for these certifications will not cover every content example in every single objective as it does in less advanced courses and the courses are very hands-on with plenty of opportunities for lab work. CertMaster Perform for the Xpert series is designed to fill holes in knowledge rather than train students in every topic. Learners will be assessed at the beginning and throughout the learning process and the focus will be on the areas where they need help.

CertMaster Perform for the Xpert series will otherwise be the same as it is for the Plus series of certifications, and will include narrative instructional content, videos, performance-based questions, skills assessments, and labs.

How CertMaster Perform compares to other CertMaster products

CompTIA CertMaster Perform includes everything in CertMaster Learn and takes the learning experience to the next level with the inclusion of live labs for practical skills training for more advanced job tasks and scenarios.
