      Received an email that stated a beta version of the Cloud + Certification was available for a discounted price. Purchased the discounted voucher and proceeded to study for and take the test with no issues, other than there being a bevy of material and content that was unexpected, as there was no way to know what would be on the test for certain, since there was no study guide yet. Was advised that as this was a beta/pre-production/pre-release version, there would be a period of time before the results were available, as the grading rubric was presumably not finalized. Keep in mind CompTIA sells you 3 years of being "certified" once passing an exam in exchange for your hard earned dollars.The results took quite a while to be released, longer than expected, approximately 6 months.I called in several times, ultimately being advised I had passed. Fine, right? NOT SO FAST...Presumably, since if you have not received the results of your test, you can't willingly or truthfully claim you have the cert, so CompTIA would not include this portion of idle "grading" time as a part of your 3 years, right? WRONG. And this was never stated up front. Logically, one would assume they would wait until they had officially told you that you had passed before starting the clock...When I called in to dispute this, they basically said "****, that's the way it is." So I paid for and did not get what they advertise in the end. Considering further action at the moment, but strongly recommend you go to other Cert providers, or a different industry even.

      Congratulations on passing the CompTIA Cloud+ beta exam!Beta exams are used for exam development. However, candidates do not receive their exam scores until after the version of the beta exam taken is released. Should they pass, they receive certification, which is dated from the time they took the beta exam, not the time it was graded. We apologize if you were not aware of this. However, the exam dates in the account show the date the exam was taken not when the exam was graded.
