View Security+ voucherCompTIA exam vouchers can be bought from CompTIA directly or from any of their Authorised Partner network. For Australian candidates, buying through an Australian-domiciled Authorised Partner like Mindset Cyber means:
No FX margin and no surprise card foreign-exchange fee at settlement.
Receipts work cleanly for employer expense claims and end-of-year tax records.
When something goes wrong with redemption you reach an Australian email contact, not a US help desk on a 16-hour delay.
Refund and replacement requests are processed under the implied conditions Schedule 2 of the Competition and Consumer Act 2010 places on services.
Every voucher we sell is the same SY0-701 (or other CompTIA cert) voucher code CompTIA generates centrally. Redemption is identical at any Pearson VUE testing centre worldwide, online or in person.
The voucher itself is identical whether you buy from CompTIA, Mindset Cyber, or any other CompTIA Authorised Partner. The differences are in service, billing currency, support response time, and which jurisdiction\'s consumer law applies if something goes sideways.
Mindset Cyber is an Australian-owned Pty Ltd, registered for GST, and operates a CompTIA Authorised Partner agreement directly with CompTIA. We do not on-sell through aggregators or affiliate networks. Every voucher comes from CompTIA into our partner account, then directly to you. See the Security+ product page for pricing and exam details.
Voucher codes generated direct via the official CompTIA partner programme.
Australian support contact for any questions about your voucher.
The same Mindset Cyber operations team that delivers our PECB ISO 27001 and ISO 42001 training.
Redeem and schedule your exam at CompTIA Central. Sit the exam at any Pearson VUE testing centre globally or via OnVUE online proctoring.
Available on Security+ for first-time candidates who want a safety net.
A CompTIA exam voucher is a one-time-use code that lets you book and sit an exam at any Pearson VUE testing centre, or online via Pearson OnVUE proctoring. The voucher is the financial credit that pays for the exam fee. You still schedule the exam separately using the code.
Pay through Stripe. The voucher code is emailed to you, usually within minutes, always within 24 hours of payment.
Sign in at CompTIA Central if you do not have one already. This is where your test history, certificate, and digital badge will live.
Choose a Pearson VUE testing centre near you (Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide, Canberra, Hobart, Darwin, and most regional capitals) or Pearson OnVUE for online-proctored at home.
Bring photo ID. The voucher is consumed when you sit. Your result is delivered to your CompTIA candidate account within minutes.
Once issued, a CompTIA voucher is valid for 12 months from the date of purchase. After 12 months it expires and cannot be redeemed. You can schedule and reschedule the exam within that window as many times as you need, with no first-booking lock-in. Unused, unredeemed vouchers are refundable for 7 days from purchase, less a 10% admin fee. Once a voucher has been redeemed at CompTIA Central it cannot be refunded.
The voucher is one-time-use. If you do not pass, you would need to buy a new voucher for the retake. Mindset Cyber offers a Retake Assurance package ($799 AUD ex GST) that bundles the voucher with a free second-attempt voucher if you do not pass the first time. CompTIA requires a 14-day waiting period between attempts (this is the retake gap, not a refund window), and there is no additional payment required from you if you are on Retake Assurance.
CompTIA offers a stack of certifications across IT operations, networking, security, and emerging tech. Security+ is the most commonly bought voucher and the right entry point for most candidates, but it is not the only path. Quick orientation:
| Certification | What it covers | Where it sits |
|---|---|---|
| Security+ (SY0-701) | Vendor-neutral entry-level cybersecurity. Threats, vulnerabilities, identity, cryptography, risk. | Foundational cybersecurity. The most-sought-after CompTIA cert globally. |
| CySA+ | Cybersecurity Analyst. Threat detection, incident response, SOC operations. | Next step after Security+ for analyst and SOC career paths. |
| PenTest+ | Penetration testing, vulnerability assessment, reporting. | Specialised, for offensive security careers. |
| Network+ | Networking fundamentals. Protocols, devices, troubleshooting. | Pre-Security+ if networking is weak. Not required first. |
| A+ | IT support fundamentals. Hardware, operating systems, troubleshooting. | Entry-level IT, before the cyber path begins. |
For most candidates Security+ is the right first voucher to buy. If you already hold Security+ and you are moving into analyst or SOC work, CySA+ is the next step. Mindset Cyber currently resells the Security+ voucher. CySA+ and AI+ join the voucher catalogue in 2026.

Read guide →Yes. Mindset Cyber is a CompTIA Authorised Partner. Voucher codes we deliver are generated by CompTIA and are identical to vouchers bought direct from the CompTIA Store.
Voucher codes are emailed to you within 24 hours of payment. The code is generated through the CompTIA Authorised Partner programme and is identical to a voucher bought direct from CompTIA.
Redeem your voucher at CompTIA Central (CompTIA log-in portal), then schedule your exam through CompTIA Central. You can sit the exam at any Pearson VUE testing centre globally or via OnVUE online proctoring.
Unused, unredeemed vouchers can be refunded within 7 days of purchase, less a 10% admin fee. Once a voucher has been redeemed at CompTIA Central, it cannot be refunded.
CompTIA Authorised Partner is the only category of seller approved by CompTIA to issue exam vouchers outside their own store. The code we send is generated against our partner account and is the same voucher CompTIA would issue if you bought direct. Buying from a non-authorised seller carries the risk that the code is grey-market, expired, or non-refundable on the CompTIA side, with no recourse if anything goes wrong.
No. The voucher you receive from us is tied to our CompTIA Authorised Partner account and is redeemed by you directly at CompTIA Central. If you have a voucher from another seller, redeem it through their issuing channel. Our checkout only sells fresh, unused vouchers.
CompTIA voucher codes are valid for 12 months from the date of issue. If CompTIA announces an exam retirement during that window, the retirement is normally scheduled at least six months out, which gives you time to schedule and sit. If we sell you a voucher for an exam that CompTIA retires before your 12-month window closes and you have not used the voucher, contact us and we will work with you on a path forward.
No. A voucher pays for the exam only. It does not include training, study materials, or practice questions. You prepare for the exam separately, whether through self-study, an external training course, books, or practice question banks. Common candidate paths for CompTIA Security+ preparation include CompTIA CertMaster Learn (sold direct by CompTIA), Professor Messer's free Security+ video series on YouTube, and reputable third-party practice question apps.
Yes. The voucher is valid 12 months from the date you receive it, regardless of when you schedule the exam. Many candidates buy six to eight weeks before their planned exam date so the voucher is locked in while they finish preparation.
The voucher itself is identical: the same SY0-701 code, the same Pearson VUE redemption flow. The differences sit in service, not in the product. Buying through Mindset Cyber means AUD pricing instead of USD, GST-receipted tax invoices issued under an Australian ABN, customer support during AEST business hours, and Australian Consumer Law jurisdiction if a dispute arises.
Yes. CompTIA vouchers are globally redeemable at any Pearson VUE testing centre or via Pearson OnVUE online proctoring. They are not restricted to the country of purchase. Australian candidates who travel can sit the exam at any Pearson VUE centre worldwide.
