New Certificate style from CompTIA

Has anyone seen the new certificates being sent to certification holders from CompTIA? I was pleasantly surprised to receive a very nice certificate (not the cheap printing and paper) and plastic card.

They look significantly more professional than the older one I received for my Network+ earlier this year. I will post some photos later.

A few days ago, I received my Sec+ certificate in the mail.

It's a step-up in terms of quality (heavier paper), but I was wondering why it wasn't 8.5x11. I assume the smaller paper size is more internationally friendly?

I didn't even know that they updated it, I would really like to see it.

It is really difficult to get letter size stationary outside USA.

Nice, Pre-laminated card?

Looks alot better, once i get my Server+ cert, this will be the 3rd change of Comptia certs that I have (A+ & Network+ were one style, security+ was another and now this one)

I just noticed something,

My ID is COMP001001769288
Yours COMP001008886608

Does that mean 7,117,320 received Comptia certificates between 2003 and the time you got your first certificate?

The design is pretty nice!

Mine is COMP00100401XXXX, and I got it in 2005. I guess ~2M in two years is reasonable.

Hi

Would I be able to get my paper inkjet style cert reprinted to this new version?

I don't think so, they have used those numbers for other things in the past, membership numbers for one. For a while they gave you one even if you failed because they tracked fails and they showed on the system. For a couple of years you could end up with multiple numbers because they did not sync prometric and vue.

I had two numbers for two years until I decided to sync them up about 8 years ago. I don't think I would put much stock in the number system, but maybe the new guy that took over is fixing all this.

Not prelaminated, it's a hard plastic like my Debit Card.

Those look a lot better than the old ones.. might have to re-order my certs.

I have to say I like them better than the last ones, much more professional looking.

The one I have is the purple and flashy design, and looks more like an ad for tech school than a certification.

I'll have to wait until I either take the Linux+ or update my Network+.

Slowhand

I might re-order my A+, Security+, and Linux+ cards if my Server+ card comes pre-laminated.

unsupported

I might just go ahead and reorder my Sec+ and Net+... I guess it depends if I get any more CompTIA certs like Linux+.

I wish I could reorder a new version of my C|EH. It looks like an ad for an antidepressant.

Where do you go to re-order the certificate, because I don't see the option anywhere on the CompTIA website.

Of course, when you do a search on their website and follow their instructions to order a certificate, the option isn't there anywhere...

Hope my A+ Cert will look like that! Nice stuff!

i reordered my A+ and N+...and you're right, it's NOWHERE on the website. I had to email their support staff, write in the comments sections - asking them how to do it, they replied to me with a link. You could probably get it a little faster if you can call.

Anyway, I have to say I like previous version graphics and design...it was just lame that it was on a peice of paper. This one is like a credit card, but with a very bland design.

Is there a charge for re-ordering your certificates?
