CompTIA Security+ Training
with Exam Prep, Exam Voucher, & Support Videos for Security Plus Certification!

CompTIA Security+ Certification is DoD 8570/8140 compliant.

At ONLC, we care about your success attending Security+ class training, and as importantly passing the authorized Security+ Exam! Our Security+ curriculum is built for certification and includes an exam prep and exam voucher plus access to support videos. The instructor-led CompTIA Security+ training leans heavily on exam questions while some of the other learning is available before and after class via the support components.

CompTIA Security+ certification is one of the most popular cybersecurity training certifications, but it is also one of the most difficult to earn. CompTIA has recently changed to version SY0-601 of the exam, and with the recent release, the exam hasn't gotten any easier. This is where courses can help you study, prepare for the exam, and receive your Security Plus certification.

Security+ certification is important for individuals who need a DoD 8570/8140 baseline information systems security certification and those considering a move to intermediate-level cybersecurity jobs. Study and prepare now with CompTIA Security+ certification training classes from ONLC, a CompTIA Authorized Partner.

Security+ Certification

Security+ Certification Learning Path

IT security is paramount to organizations. With the massive amounts of data transmitted and stored throughout the world, it's essential to have effective cybersecurity practices in place.

  • Systems Administrator
  • Network Administrator
  • Security Administrator
  • Junior IT Auditor/Penetration Tester
  • Security Engineer

To achieve Security+ certification candidates must pass the authorized exam. You can prepare for the exam by attending the training listed below.

Security+ Certification Exam

SY0-601

One exam with a combination of 90 multiple choice and performance-based questions. Exam length is 90 minutes. Passing Score is 750 (scale of 100-900).

CompTIA certification exams are performance-based to confirm a candidate's knowledge, skills, and abilities using the CompTIA network and program. CompTIA exams are available through Pearson Vue, CompTIA's authorized testing partner. Exam candidates schedule the authorized exam directly with Pearson Vue and may attend from any of Pearson Vue's Testing Centers or online.

Recertification/CompTIA CE Program

Security+ has globally-recognized ISO/ANSI accreditation status. As part of the accreditation requirements, this certification expires every three years if not renewed. You can renew certification through the CompTIA CE Program which includes completing continuing education activities. Review CompTIA Continuing Education (CE) Program requirements and approved courses . Note, if your certification is not renewed within the three years allowance it will expire and you will need to pass the current version of the exam to regain CompTIA Security+ certification.

Next Step after the Security+ Course and Exam

Once you've earned Security+ Certification, expand your abilities in the field of IT Security with CompTIA CySA+ Certification for defensive skills or CompTIA PenTest+ for offensive skills. Although the two certifications teach skills from opposing sides, they are dependent on one another and the most qualified cybersecurity professionals will have both offensive and defensive skills. These intermediate-level certifications help bridge the skills gap between CompTIA Security+ and CompTIA Advanced Security Practitioner (CASP+) to create a vendor-neutral certification path.
