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.
