COSTI: Cybersecurity Plus Bridging Program

Cybersecurity Plus Bridging Program

The program will serve internationally trained individuals with a background in Information Technology to obtain Cybersecurity micro credentials from Sheridan College preparing them for CompTIA Security + Certification. This will help clients secure a breakthrough in the high demand cybersecurity domain. The training will cover several areas from introduction to Security to Disaster Recovery that will prepare clients to be successful in passing the certification exam.
