Security+, CISSP, CySA+, CCNA and 24 more — a course and a practice exam for each.
Every course is generated from the exam's own published objectives, so the modules match the domains you will be tested on — and when a vendor reweights an exam, the course changes with it rather than quietly going stale. Practice exams score you by domain, so you know what to study next. Some certifications take more than one exam; the A+ and Network+ program covers A+ Core 1, A+ Core 2 and Network+ together.
We also document 29 certifications in full — domains, weights, renewal cycles and the work roles each one satisfies — including ones we do not yet teach. That catalog is free to read and always will be.
The opening module of every course is free, including its lab and knowledge check.
CompTIA Security+
CompTIA · SY0-701
Pass Security+ (SY0-701). Every module maps to one of the five exam domains, weighted the way CompTIA weights them, and the practice exam scores you by domain so you always know what to study next. Security+ is the certification most govcon contracts ask for by name — it satisfies IAT Level II and IAM Level I.
Intermediate · 5 modules · 36 lessons · 8h
CompTIA CySA+
CompTIA · CS0-004
Pass CySA+ (CS0-004). Built against the June 2026 blueprint, which reweights every domain relative to CS0-003 — and if you are already studying CS0-003 you can still sit it until 22 December 2026, so both blueprints are included. The highest-leverage certification on the 8570 table: it satisfies IAT Level II and four of the five CSSP roles.
Advanced · 4 modules · 28 lessons · 7h
CompTIA A+ and Network+
CompTIA · 220-1201
Pass A+ (220-1201 and 220-1202) and Network+ together — three courses, one program, because the first two certifications most IT careers require overlap heavily and are best studied as a sequence. Each course follows its exam blueprint domain by domain. A+ and Network+ satisfy IAT Level I.
Basic · 14 modules · 95 lessons · 20h
ISC2 CISSP
ISC2 · CISSP
Pass the CISSP. Built against the outline effective 15 April 2024, with every module mapped to one of the eight domains at the weight ISC2 gives it.

Advanced · 8 modules · 55 lessons · 12h
ISC2 SSCP
ISC2 · SSCP
Pass the SSCP. The exam moved to computerized adaptive testing on 1 October 2025 — no longer the 125-question, three-hour linear form — and the course is built for the adaptive version. Requires one year of paid experience to hold; satisfies both IAT Level I and IAT Level II.
Intermediate · 7 modules · 47 lessons · 9h
GIAC GSEC

Intermediate · 15 modules · 79 lessons · 21h
ISC2 CCSP
ISC2 · CCSP
Pass the CCSP — the cloud security credential for people whose enclaves are leaving the server room. Every module maps to one of the six domains at the weight ISC2 publishes. Requires five years of IT experience to hold; satisfies IAT Level III and IASAE Level III.

EC-Council CEH
EC-Council · 312-50 (312-50v13 for the v13 form)

Intermediate · 20 modules · 120 lessons · 26h
ISACA CISM
ISACA · CISM
Pass the CISM — the management-track exam for people accountable for a security program rather than a system. Four domains, each mapped and weighted as ISACA publishes them. Satisfies IAM Levels II and III and the CSSP Manager role.
Advanced · 4 modules · 29 lessons · 7h
ISC2 CGRC
ISC2 · CGRC
Pass the CGRC (formerly CAP) — the certification that maps almost exactly onto the DoD Risk Management Framework, so studying it is studying the authorization process you already work inside. Satisfies IAM Level II.
Intermediate · 7 modules · 45 lessons · 10h
ISC2 Certified in Cybersecurity (CC)
ISC2 · CC
Pass the CC — the entry certification for people starting in security, with no experience requirement and a two-hour exam. The right first exam if you were told to start somewhere and have not yet been told where. Accepted in the DoD 8140 qualification matrix.

Advanced · 5 modules · 32 lessons · 7h
GIAC GCIH
GIAC · GCIH
Pass the GCIH — the hands-on incident-handling exam, with CyberLive practical tasks, so this course is built around working an incident rather than reading about one. Satisfies IAT Level III and the CSSP Analyst and Incident Responder roles.
Advanced · 15 modules · 76 lessons · 21h
GIAC GCIA
GIAC · GCIA
Pass the GCIA: deep packet and traffic analysis for detecting intrusions, taught the way the CyberLive exam tests it — on captures, not slides. Satisfies the CSSP Analyst role.
Advanced · 15 modules · 75 lessons · 20h
Cisco CCNA
Cisco · 200-301
Pass the CCNA (200-301). A working engineer's path through the blueprint: how switches forward, how routers choose, how VLANs and trunks carve one physical network into many logical ones, and how the services on top depend on all of it. Every module maps to a blueprint section.
Intermediate · 6 modules · 41 lessons · 8h
Cisco CCNA Cybersecurity
Cisco · 200-201 CCNACBR
Pass the CCNA Cybersecurity exam (200-201). Security-operations tradecraft for the analyst on the console: what each monitoring source can prove, how to read a host and a capture, and how to decide whether an alert is real. Built section by section from the published blueprint.

CompTIA SecurityX (formerly CASP+)
CompTIA · CAS-005

Professional development
Skills the DoD technical workforce increasingly needs — AI used safely in a cleared environment, digital engineering for the acquisition world. This is not certification prep and not part of any 8140 requirement: nothing on this shelf is an 8140 qualification (and 8140 does not currently require any AI certification). It is included in the same subscription.
Where AI stands with 8140AI for the DoD Technical Workforce
Every AI course teaches you to be productive. This one teaches you to be productive without causing a spill. Written for sysadmins, network engineers, developers and IT professionals on DoD programs, it covers what never goes in a prompt, how to use AI on the authorized path, prompting and verifying without stepping over the line, and how AI study relates to the certification you already hold. This is professional development, not certification prep: 8140 does not currently require any AI certification, and nothing here is an 8140 qualification.

Professional developmentDigital Engineering for Defense Acquisition
The defense enterprise is moving its engineering from documents to models — by strategy since 2018 and by instruction since DoDI 5000.97 (December 2023). This program teaches acquisition and technical professionals what that actually means and how to buy it well: systems engineering foundations, the policy mandate stated precisely, models and digital twins, the digital thread and authoritative data, open systems, and the contract craft that decides whether any of it exists. Professional development, not certification prep: nothing here is an 8140 qualification.
