What you’ll learn
This entry-level cybersecurity certification will prove to employers that you have the foundational knowledge, skills, and abilities necessary for an entry- or junior-level cybersecurity role.
ISC2 CC will signal your understanding of fundamental security best practices, policies and procedures, as well as your willingness and ability to learn more and grow on the job. It's the first step on a career-long journey that will help you gain experience and work towards advanced qualifications such as the CISSP and CCSP.
We believe a need still exists in our industry for a certification that is attainable for newcomers and recognizes the growing trend of people entering the cybersecurity workforce without direct IT experience. Employers need confidence that when hiring new entrants into the field they have a solid grasp of the right technical concepts, and a demonstrated aptitude to learn on the job. Moreover, as an ISC2 certification, the recipient will be an ISC2 member backed by the world's largest network of certified cybersecurity professionals helping them continue their professional development and earn new achievements and qualifications throughout their career.

FAQs
Yes, we do provide courses suitable for beginners. However, Firebrand's accelerated courses aren't easy and it's essential that you are interested and actively pursuing a career in IT.
Traditional training providers usually run their courses from 9am to 5pm. At Firebrand Training we maximise the number of learning hours to minimise the number of training days, so you’ll be back to your job as quickly as possible. You don’t waste time travelling to several courses and finding an exam centre after that.
Firebrand's accelerated courses are constantly reviewed. We ask our delegates for feedback after every course. We are official partners with leading vendors and therefore, we're provided with certification changes and updates, which we can then implement in our course delivery at a very early stage. This feedback is then analysed in view of changes or discrepancies. We will then address the topics mentioned and have a panel of subject matter experts provide us with valuable suggestions for improvement and solutions.
If you need to learn new skills and you want to be able to put them into practice quickly, then Firebrand is the right training company for you.
