“I just wanted to let you know that I passed the CISSP Exam. I studied all the materials you provided during the CISSP Boot Camp and am convinced it made the difference! Thanks for your help and assistance!”
– J. Margraf SSO, USN

Why We Teach:
The charts below show which certifications are accredited by DoD 8570 for which job position, which requires:
- Starting in 2010 – 70% of all contractor personnel supporting IA functions should be appropriately certified at contract award, and 100% by the end of calendar year 2010.
- All IA jobs will be categorized as ‘Technical’ or ‘Management’ Level I, II, or III; certification is required to be qualified for those jobs
- The training, certification, and workforce management requirements of 8570 apply to all members of the DoD IA workforce including military, civilians, local nationals, non-appropriated fund (NAF) personnel, and contractors

- Free computer laptop to take home, installed with all training material and course documentation
- Up-to-date manuals and practice quizzes

- Certificate of Completion
Each student who successfully completes the course will have access to post-course material available online, which is updated to match the current course training material, allowing previous students to obtain the latest changes, free of charge.
Why a Boot Camp:
The field of Information Security involves multiple disciplines; the certifications by (ISC)² and CompTIA are expansive in their testing of knowledge across all Information Security topics. While it may be possible to successfully pass a certification exam through self-study, the time and effort spent to learn all the material is often overwhelming, and inefficient. In addition, the material obtained through self-study may be incorrect or outdated, ultimately wasting time, money, and effort.
Our certification boot camps provide an intensive and well-focused training opportunity for students. By enrolling in one of our boot camps, you can learn the critical information needed to successfully pass your chosen certification. The teachers of our boot camps are unparalleled in their knowledge of Information Security, and have extensive hands-on experience in the field.
In addition, the designer of the course material has numerous years as a professional educator and author on the topic of Information Security. Students can be well-assured that all courses include the most up-to-date material available, and will effectively equip each student with the knowledge necessary to successfully pass their chosen certification.
In the highly-unlikely event that a student fails their certification exam after taking the appropriate boot camp through us, we allow that student to re-attend the same boot camp course without any additional charges.
