Your Guide to ACI Learning’s New Courses, Labs, and What’s Next

Fresh courses. Big updates. Career-ready skills.

The world of technology changes fast. Certifications get renamed, exams evolve, and new skills become essential. That’s a lot to keep up with.

That’s where ACI Learning comes in. Our team tracks these changes, updates training content, and creates courses to ensure learners and professionals have the skills they need—today and tomorrow.

This season, we’re rolling out new content, hands-on labs, and updated certifications, with even more on the way. Here’s a quick guide to what’s new, what’s changing, and what’s coming next.

Learn How to Think Like a Hacker (Legally!)

The updated CompTIA PenTest+ (PT0-003) course is live! This training is all about learning how attackers think so you can stop them in their tracks.

You’ll explore how a penetration tester works:

• Planning a Test – Setting up a penetration test the right way
• Gathering Information – How attackers collect data on their targets
• Finding Weak Spots – Identifying vulnerabilities before they do
• Breaking In – Tools and techniques attackers use
• After the Break-In – Understanding what happens once they’re inside

💡 Why this course stands out:

• Matches every PenTest+ exam objective
• Real scenarios to practice in a safe environment
• 100% online and self-paced
• Career-focused skills employers look for

The New CompTIA A+ Is Here

The CompTIA A+ 1200 series is now available! This certification has been completely refreshed to match what IT support professionals need right now.

Here’s what’s new:

• CompTIA A+ (220-1201 & 1202)
• Skill Labs for hands-on practice

⚠️ Important:

• The older 1101/1102 version retires on September 25, 2025.
• If you’ve already started the older version, you have time to finish.
• If you’re just starting, choose the 1200 series—it’s the most relevant.
