About this course
Course overview
Prepare for Security+ and build practical cybersecurity confidence.
CompTIA Security+ Prep is a five-day course for professionals preparing for the Security+ SY0-701 certification exam and for teams that need a practical foundation in cybersecurity readiness. The course follows the current SY0-701 domain structure and connects exam concepts to day-to-day security work: threats, controls, architecture, operations, incident response, governance, risk, compliance, and security program oversight.
Learners practice scenario-based thinking, performance-based question triage, and domain-weighted review. Participants leave with a Security+ study plan, practice review log, PBQ playbook, and practical security toolkit they can use after class.
Learning outcomes
What you'll learn
Every module is tied to an outcome you can bring back to your team the next day.
