Certificate in Cybersecurity

  

Cybersecurity Training

Overview

This program provides candidates with the skills, knowledge and credentials required to successfully begin a career in the fields of Information Technology and Cybersecurity.  This program was designed by UMBC Training Centers in collaboration with senior executives and technical staff from the Department of Defense, leading Government Contractors, and Fortune 500 companies.

There is a severe shortage of IT professionals with the skills, certifications, and problem solving abilities necessary to meet the nation's Cyber Defense challenge. And this shortage is expected to persist for years. This represents a tremendous career opportunity for motivated individuals with the right skills and certifications.

Here are the top qualifications sought by every organization, large or small:

  • Demonstrable technical skills in Systems Administration and Computer Networking
  • DoD 8570 Certification
  • A recognized IT Industry Certification in systems or networking
  • Strong problem solving abilities and communication skills
  • High level of professionalism and willingness to work hard

To earn the Certificate in Cybersecurity, students must complete four (standard format) or five (extended format) courses:

** - The Linux Certified System Administrator requirement may alternatively be satisfied by taking two separate Linux courses: Linux Fundamentals and Linux System Administration.

To complete the Certificate, students must achieve the CEH certification and either the CCNA or one of the Linux certification (RHCSA or Linux+). In completing the two certifications students will have attained both a DoD 8570 certification and a highly recognized industry technical certification. Students may take certification exams at UMBC Training Centers' on-site Prometric and VUE Testing Center.

Audience

This program is suitable for individuals seeking to enter the fields of Information Technology and Cybersecurity, or those are already in the field who desire rigorous education and training.

This Certificate program is offered in response to industry’s need for qualified employees with the right certifications and problem solving skills to be effective in system support, computer network operations (CNO) and computer network defense (CND).
