If you’re planning to pursue a CompTIA certification this year, be aware that a price increase for all CompTIA exams took effect on June 3, 2025. This is the first increase in eighteen months for CompTIA. This adjustment makes early planning even more important—especially for learners balancing budget and timeline.
Fortunately, there are options to help reduce expenses. Authorized CompTIA partners, such as Total Seminars, often purchase certification vouchers in bulk and can offer them at lower rates than what’s listed on the CompTIA website or through PearsonVUE. Taking advantage of these discounted vouchers could ease the cost of earning your credential. Especially if partners have stock of vouchers at last year prices.
In short, if certification is on your 2025 goals list, reviewing pricing changes and exploring voucher alternatives now could help you save while staying on track.
