Online Cybersecurity Bootcamp

Central Washington University Continuing Education ETPL
Throughout your bootcamp, you will build a substantial portfolio of projects that demonstrate your proficiency in the leading cybersecurity programs and tools. Students will participate in a "Capture the Flag" challenge involving real-world cybersecurity scenarios, as well as two career simulators — scenario-based projects that model on-the-job situations — at the conclusion of the program. Your cybersecurity courses will feature several lab assignments that allow you to apply concepts in a virtual hands-on "sandbox environment" that provides a controlled and secure space for students to experiment without the risk of causing damage or compromising actual systems. Our bootcamp includes dedicated certification preparation (exam preparation, targeted reviews, and mock exams) during the final weeks of the program, designed to help students review and solidify cybersecurity skills prior to taking the industry-aligned CompTIA Sec+ certification exam. The CompTIA exam preparation course ($2,300), study guide ($170), and exam ($400) costs are all included in your bootcamp program price, for a savings of $2,870. Our bootcamp offers comprehensive student support services to enhance the learning experience and foster a supportive learning environment; helping students succeed in mastering cybersecurity skills; including weekly virtual office hours, with real-time interaction with instructors as well as personalized 1:1 mentoring sessions and access to a 24/7 AI tutor. This online bootcamp equips you with the necessary skills for an entry-level cybersecurity role. You will have access to a suite of resources, including a career services platform featuring job opportunities and a talent portal where hiring organizations can contact you, and guidance on how to market your new cybersecurity skills.
