CompTIA Security+ Certification

A Firebrand Training


3


Day Course

CompTIA Security+ Certification - Overview

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.

CompTIA Security+ Certification - Benefits

For the information technology professional, Security+ certification training delivers a foundational proficiency in the network security arena. Security+ Certificants are better able and positioned to support small and medium-sized organizations that are at increased risk of cyber crime and other forms of security-related threats.

Certificants may now apply the CompTIA Security+ certification towards the Microsoft MCSA and MCSE Security designations.

Arm Your Workforce with Security+ Certification

Neither technologies nor policies alone offer effective protection against theft and destruction of intellectual property. So, what's your defence? Knowledge. All industries need a trained and effective IT workforce to combat hackers, attackers and security threats. Maintain the integrity of your organization's communications, infrastructure and operations. Certify your IT workforce today.

Other accelerated training providers rely heavily on lecture and independent self-testing and study.

Effective technical instruction must be highly varied and interactive to keep attention levels high, promote camaraderie and teamwork between the students and instructor, and solidify knowledge through hands-on learning.

Firebrand Training provides instruction to meet every learning need, including

  • Intensive group instruction
  • One-on-one instruction attention
  • Hands-on labs
  • Lab partner and group exercises
  • Question and answer drills
  • Independent study

This information has been provided as a helpful tool for candidates considering certification. Benefits of certification determined through studies do not guarantee any particular personal successes. Firebrand Training provides a guarantee of obtaining certification at the camp, but does not make any guarantees about personal successes or benefits of obtaining certification.

Security+ Certification Testimonials

"As long as you go into this with an open mind the instructors will be only too glad to fill it. I have what most people would probably consider the wrong background for this course although I have managed to get through it with the help of the staff and purely because of the training methods given. Words that describe a 2 week MCSE training course at Firebrand??.....Mind-blowing, overwhelming, unforgettable, intense, and not forgetting of course invaluable! Will be back there quite soon for another, I hope this doesn't become an addiction."

EC-Council CEH (5 Days) (23/6/2008 to 27/6/2008)

"This was my second time at Firebrand Training as I came back to upgrade my MCSA to a MCSE. I did 6 weeks pre-reading beforehand which helped me stay on top of the workload. My instructor was excellent - always staying behind after class to answer any questions. He has a real good teaching technique, making the most complex concepts make sense. And whats more he is a real friendly down-to-earth chap, who deserves a pint! The accommodation and facilities are really comfortable and the environment is excellent for accelerated learning as there are no distractions. If I can get the boss to stump up for the CCNA course or Server 2008 Upgrade, I will return (but not before a few months to relax first)."
