Detailed Course Catalog

CyberLearning’s focus is on certification pathways that produce verifiable, hire-ready credentials. Broadly, the catalog is organized into three tracks that work individually and stack into stronger job-ready profiles: cybersecurity, managed IT services (MITS / MSP), and business skills that support both. All pathways use self-paced online delivery, instructor-reviewed study plans, hands-on labs, and practice exams aligned to the live vendor exams.

How to Use This Catalog

Start with the role or target you care about — help-desk technician, SOC analyst, network admin, project manager, business analyst, data-center technician, MSP service-desk lead — and the stack order follows. Most hire-ready profiles are combinations (for example Network+ → Security+ → ITIL 4 for an MSP-technician profile, or CompTIA A+ → Network+ → Security+ for a broad IT-generalist profile). The main catalog page has duration, prerequisite, and next-step details for each credential.

Cybersecurity Track

  • Entry level: CompTIA Security+ (SY0-701) — DoD 8140 / 8570 baseline, required on most entry-level SOC and IT-auditor postings
  • Defensive / analyst: CompTIA CySA+ for threat-hunting and detection engineering after Security+
  • Offensive security: EC-Council Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH v13) for offensive testing, plus CompTIA PenTest+ for broader penetration-testing coverage
  • Senior / management: (ISC)² CISSP for cybersecurity management, architecture, and leadership
  • Prerequisites for cybersecurity work: CompTIA Network+ (covered under MSP / networking track) is strongly recommended before Security+

Target roles from this track include junior SOC analyst, security operations analyst, IT auditor, security-focused systems administrator, penetration tester, incident responder, and (with CISSP) security architect, security manager, and CISO-track roles.

Managed IT Services (MITS / MSP) Track

  • Foundation: CompTIA A+ (hardware, OS, end-user support) — the most common first credential for IT careers
  • Networking: CompTIA Network+ (vendor-neutral) and Cisco CCNA (Cisco-specific depth)
  • Service management: ITIL 4 Foundation — the de-facto framework for managed IT service delivery
  • Server and admin: CompTIA Server+ and Microsoft Office Specialist (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, Access)
  • Cybersecurity baseline: CompTIA Security+ (shared with the cybersecurity track)

Target roles from this track include help-desk technician, desktop support, MSP field technician, junior network administrator, NOC analyst, server administrator, and service-desk lead.

Business and Project Management

  • Project Management Professional (PMP) — issued by PMI, the global standard for project-management leadership
  • Certified Associate in Project Management (CAPM) — PMI’s entry-level credential for coordinators and junior PMs
  • Certified Business Analysis Professional (CBAP) — issued by IIBA, the senior BA credential
  • Soft skills: communication, teamwork, time management, customer service, and leadership foundations
  • Test preparation: SAT, ACT, Regents, GRE, GMAT, and TOEFL coursework for adult learners and dual-credit students

Target roles from this track include business analyst, project coordinator, project manager, program manager, product owner, operations analyst, and — for test-prep cohorts — college-bound students and graduate-school candidates.

Common Stacking Patterns

Across these three tracks, the combinations that most consistently produce job offers are: (1) A+ → Network+ → Security+ for a broad IT-generalist profile; (2) Network+ → Security+ → ITIL 4 for an MSP-technician profile; (3) Security+ → CySA+ (or CEH) → CISSP-prep for a cybersecurity-analyst-to-manager profile; (4) CBAP → PMP for a BA-to-program-leader profile; and (5) Network+ → CCNA → Security+ for a network-engineer profile.

Delivery Features

Every pathway includes self-paced online modules, practice labs (Cisco Packet Tracer, cloud VMs, sandboxed lab environments where relevant), full-length practice exams, an instructor-reviewed study plan, progress dashboards, and optional live review sessions before each exam attempt. For sponsored cohorts, we also provide rostering, milestone reporting, and consolidated invoicing.

How the Catalog Is Maintained

Certification versions and exam codes change as vendors update their programs. CompTIA refreshes exam objectives every three years; Cisco realigns CCNA on a similar cadence; PMI and IIBA update their exam blueprints periodically; (ISC)² issues CISSP refreshes every few years; PeopleCert updates the ITIL 4 line-up regularly. Always confirm the current exam code and blueprint on the issuing body’s official site before scheduling an exam: CompTIA, Cisco, (ISC)², EC-Council, PMI, IIBA, or PeopleCert. Our courseware is updated to the current blueprint for each credential we offer.
