What this qualifies you for
Listed specifically for 3 work roles — up to Intermediate proficiency. Because options cascade downward, a cert listed at Advanced also satisfies Intermediate and Basic for that role.
Also listed for 14 Cyberspace Enablers roles — but so is every other certification
The Enablers matrix isn’t role-differentiated: the same certification options are listed for all 14 roles at every proficiency level. We verified that across all 14. So this is true, and it carries no information about this credential specifically — which is why it isn’t in the count above.
