Frequently Asked Questions
Who should take a course with you?
- Information Assurance (IA) and Cybersecurity professionals seeking to improve job skills or obtain a certification
- U.S. Government and Department of Defense (DoD) IA personnel with DoD 8570/8140 Requirements
- Cybersecurity professionals with Continuing Education (CPE/CEU/PDU) requirements

- People interested in starting a career in cybersecurity

Why should I take a course with you?
There are many reasons. Here are a few:
- Cybersecurity Certification exam prep “boot camp” courses focused on passing the exam
- Exam Pass Guarantee – free course retake if you do not pass certification exam
- Exam Fees/Vouchers included
- Certification pass-rates over 90%
- Technical hands-on cyber defense courses focused on improving job skills
- Best in class with outstanding reviews
- Industry expert and certified professional trainers with real-world experience
Our trainers actually practice on a daily-basis what they teach. This allows us to apply real-world experience to course content and tangible answers to questions in class. We use anecdotes, offer advice, and comprehensively answer questions like “how does this apply to the way we do access control at our location where we use 8 character passwords with a mix of upper/lower case, numbers, and special characters?”
If you’re like us, you’ve probably taken courses at “Learning Centers” or “Education Centers” that use full-time instructors. Although there is nothing wrong with this approach, we feel the real-world experience our trainers bring to the table greatly enhances the value of our courses. Application often differs from theory. We are practitioners. We not only help you pass a certification test, but can also help you solve a technical problem you’ve been struggling with at work.

Our training facility is located at 7 Eagle Center, Suite B-5, O’Fallon, IL 62269. We are located on the ground floor, next to the lake. The entrance is in the back of the building. The location is well marked and we put additional signage out during training.

Do you offer payment plans?
Yes, we will work with you on a flexible and custom payment plan. We will work with you to come up with a plan that works best for you. The sooner you register for a class, the better, because you will have longer to make payments. We require all payments be completed one week prior to the course start date. We charge 5% fee for this service. This fee covers service charges and us holding the slot for you.
Here’s an example of how this works; let’s say you register for our CISSP course. The course price is $3195, plus the 5% service fee makes the total $3354.75. If you register 3 months in advance, you could make a payment every 2 weeks of $559.13 (6 payments total). Payments will be set up as recurring credit card charges, based on the terms that work for you. Please ask us about payment options, if you are interested.
What is the registration or enrollment process?
Once you register for a course on our website, you will receive a confirmation email. A week prior to the course we will send you a Course Info email with the exact location for the course, logistics information, trainer contact information, and anything else we feel you should know. Of course, you are always free to ask us questions any time during the process.
If you are having trouble registering on our website, we can send you an invoice with a link to pay by credit card.
What if I register for a course and it does not "run"?
We do our best to make sure courses run as scheduled. If a course does not meet the minimum attendee requirement, we will offer you a full refund and a discount to move to another date for the same course or a different course.
What is your cancellation policy?
Here is our cancellation policy:
- Cancellations made 10 days or more in advance of the course start date/time will receive a 100% refund.
- Cancellations made within 10 days of the course start date/time will receive a 50% refund.
- Transfers made 10 days or more in advance of the course start date/time can be made without penalty.
- Transfers made within 10 days of the course start date/time will incur a 10% transfer fee.
Transfers are only allowed to the same course title. Examples: 1) you can transfer from a CISSP course in March to a CISSP course in May, 2) you cannot transfer from a CSCU course to a CISSP course.
Contact us with any questions. You may request a cancellation or transfer by calling us at 844-925-7463 or emailing us at [email protected]
