Is this course right for you?

Our take
A thorough, well-proven way to prepare for CompTIA Security+, a widely recognised entry-level security certification. With over 493,000 students it is one of the most-taken Security+ prep courses.

Good for: people with basic IT knowledge preparing for the CompTIA Security+ certification.

Skip if: you are completely new to IT, or you do not intend to certify.

Jason Dion follows the SY0-701 blueprint across all five domains — security concepts, threats and mitigations, architecture, operations, and program management — with a study guide and a full practice test. Reviewers consistently report passing off this course alone.

It is preparation for a test, not hands-on security work, and it assumes basic IT knowledge, so it is not a first step for a complete beginner. The certification comes from CompTIA's separate paid exam. On price, wait for a Udemy sale.
