pathways into Cybersecurity
We’ve developed a cybersecurity certificate pathway to align with NIST’s NICE Cybersecurity Workforce Framework. First, we start off with the Certificate in Cyber Foundations, which starts students off with training to prepare for three fundamental CompTIA certifications: A+, Network+, and Security+. Next, our instructors build on your foundational knowledge in the Certificate in Cyber Operations with intermediate courses in programming, Windows command line, and Linux administration. Our final bundle, the Certificate in Cybersecurity, prepares you with advanced cybersecurity courses in penetration testing and malware analysis. Our flagship training, the Certified Cybersecurity Analyst Program, takes students through all three Certificates to prepare students of any experience level for a career in cybersecurity.
