CompTIA - Security+ Certification - Overview

Seven reasons why you should sit your Security+ course with Firebrand Training

  1. You’ll be Security+ certified in just 3 days. With us, you’ll be Security+ trained in record time
  2. Our Security+ course is all-inclusive. A one-off fee covers all course materials, exams, accommodation and meals. No hidden extras
  3. Pass Security+ first time or train again for free. This is our guarantee. We're sure you'll pass your Security+ course first time. But if you don’t, come back within a year, and only pay for accommodation and exams. Everything else is free
  4. You’ll learn more Security+. A day with a traditional training provider generally runs from 9am – 5pm, with a nice long break for lunch. With Firebrand Training you’ll get at least 12 hours/day quality learning time, with your instructor
  5. You’ll learn Security+ faster. Chances are, you’ll have a different learning style to those around you. We combine visual, auditory and tactile styles to deliver the material in a way that ensures you will learn faster and more easily
  6. You’ll be studying Security+ with the best. We have won the Institute of IT Training’s "Training Company of the Year" a record three times. As well as winning many more awards, we’ve trained and certified 20,000 professionals, and we’re partners with all of the big names in the business
  7. You'll do more than study Security+ courseware. We use labs, case studies and practice tests to make sure you can apply your new knowledge to the work environment. Our instructors use demonstrations and real-world experience to keep the day interesting and engaging.

The goal of this three-day accelerated course is to provide IT professionals with the knowledge and skills necessary to demonstrate a broad knowledge of security concerns and perform day-to-day security functions.

Incorporating a comprehensive range of security knowledge areas, Security+ was developed with input from industry, government, academia and front-line practitioners.

This certification is designed for professionals with a background in computers and networking. The typical Security+ Firebrand Training candidate will be working in a network or system administration position, or be moving into such a position upon entering the workforce after an undergraduate degree program.
