Which CompTIA course is the one for me?
DESCRIPTION
CompTIA Security+ is a vendor neutral qualification that will teach you about general security concepts, communication security, infrastructure security, some basics of cryptography, and operational and organisational security.
HOW WILL I BE ASSESSED?
Online skills assessment is provided in the form of a practice exam that includes questions in a format similar to the certification exam. College attendance is not required as each assessment uses "live" online programs to measure your performance.
Successful completion of this course will result in the award of an Aberdeen College Certificate.
Complete certification requirements for A+, Network+, Security+, and Server+ are located at the CompTIA Web site at www.comptia.com.
If you wish to undertake the industry recognised qualification, you must sit the appropriate exams at a registered testing centre. To find the Pearson VUE or Prometric test centre closest to you please click on the appropriate link.
The current assessment charge will be listed by the testing centre and is not included in the price of this course.
