Cybersecurity Plus Bridging Program

 

The program will serve internationally trained individuals with a background in Information Technology to earn a CAPS Sheridan Certificate and prepare for CompTIA Security+ Certification. This will help clients secure a breakthrough in the high demand cybersecurity domain. The training will cover several areas from introduction to Security to Disaster Recovery that will prepare clients to be successful in passing the certification exam.
