Course overview

If you’ve ever considered working within the cybersecurity industry, but felt you lacked the knowledge or skills to launch your career, this course might be what you’re looking for.

This course is designed to gradually build your knowledge and confidence to sit the final certification exam: the CompTIA Security+. Of all the certifications you will gain in this bundle, the CompTIA Security+ is by far the most prestigious. It is held in high regard within the IT security industry.

From the beginning, we teach you about basic IT literacy, basic software features and functions, basic networking, operating systems, and basic security threats. From there, the course steps up a notch exploring these areas in more depth. As you progress through the various stages, your knowledge of the systems based around cybersecurity will gradually begin to develop.

Upon completion of the course, you will exit with a series of globally respected certifications and a deeper knowledge of cybersecurity concepts. You will also possess a set of cybersecurity skills you can apply to a vast range of cybersecurity job roles.

The course bundle is comprised of six separate courses in total. Three of which are skills-based only with no exam, and three CompTIA certification courses with a final exam after each course. The final course being the CompTIA Security+. One of the non-certification courses provides a soft introduction to modern-day cybersecurity practices. The skills and certifications that you gain through this course will offer you scope to work in other areas aside from cybersecurity. These include IT support, networking, systems administration, and data compliance.

To help you grasp the concepts and develop the skills within the course, simulators (aka live labs) are also included. These allow you to practice your skills such as setting up firewalls, troubleshooting and diagnostics, implementing security measures, and running threat scans.
