It ensures the knowledge you gain is aligned with skills required of typical cybersecurity roles found in today’s workplace.  

 

Industry Alignment and Affiliation

Training Formats

We provide several different formats and options for training to best fit the needs of our students. We specialize in the “boot camp” method of full-immersion for the greatest retention of knowledge and highest certification exam pass rates.

Instructor-Led Training (ILT)

The ILT format is the most traditional and is also known as In-person Training. In this format training is delivered face-to-face, in real time in our training center.

Virtual Instructor-Led Training (VILT)

The VILT format is a virtual form of the ILT training option. Students can attend a live class in real-time from any location using streaming video and audio technology.

On-Demand Training (ODT)

On-Demand Training is an asynchronous online training format. Class lectures and lab exercise videos are pre-recorded and available 24 hours a day for a period of 6 months or 1 year depending on the certification course. All material is accessed over the Internet through a standard web browser.

Hybrid Training

The Hybrid Training format provides a lot of flexibility to our students by allowing them to attend either in-person or online as their availability permits. This format is perfect for students who do not wish to commute for every session or have a work or family commitment that would keep them from otherwise attending the training in-person.
