Pass CompTIA Security+ in 5 Days w/ Live Cohort Training That Gets You Certified

The Security+ Problem No One Talks About
You already know the CompTIA Security+ opens doors. You know it is required for government contracts, defense positions, and most cybersecurity roles. You know it can add $15,000 to $25,000 to your base salary.
But here is what no one tells you: most people fail this exam. Not because they are not smart. Not because they do not study. They fail because they waste months watching 40-hour video courses, memorizing acronyms they forget in a week, and showing up to the exam with no idea how to handle performance-based questions.
They fail because they studied alone. They had no structure. No accountability. No one to tell them what actually matters. They spent 6 months preparing and still walked out of the testing center knowing they just wasted $392 on an exam they were not ready for.
Then they do it again. And fail again.
The average person takes 4-6 months to prepare for Security+ and fails 1.7 times before passing. That is 6 months of your life, $600+ in exam fees, and the opportunity cost of not having the certification on your resume while other people get promoted past you.
There is a better way.

Aiah Alex L.
Security+ CertifiedPrior to signing up for Cyber Pros Training, I came across a YouTube video of preview class which demonstrated what I was looking for in an instructor. Francois has been very helpful and available during and after the training. He carved out extra time for the exam review and made me feel confident to take the exam. Passed my Security+ exam on the first try.
Tomah R.
Security+ CertifiedI was very skeptical at first when I saw Francois on Facebook advertising the Cyber Pros Training training program. I thought it will be very hard for me to enter the world of cybersecurity without any prior IT knowledge. I’m happy to share that I am now a CompTIA Security+ Certified and currently working on getting my CompTIA CySA+ certification.

Security+ CertifiedOnce I got in touch, right from my first chat with Francois, I felt at ease with the process mapped out clearly. Enrolled on the Boot camp course and it was not only enjoyable, but I gained a lot of knowledge with his teaching style and more than enough materials for the practical aspect. As the course was ending, Francois was totally flexible and accessible towards my one-to-one studying. Even though I kept changing plans due to personal reasons, he adapted and went through the areas I'm struggling with together with the performance-based questions and assured me I was ready as I stuck to the study plans. Low and behold, I finally booked the exam in and PASSED on my first attempt. If you are contemplating right now, look no further than the Cyber Pros Training. Thank You Francois.

Why This Works When Everything Else Fails
Most Security+ courses are designed to teach you everything. This course is designed to help you pass.
There is a difference.
Teaching you everything means 40 hours of video lectures covering every possible topic in exhaustive detail. It means you spend months trying to absorb information you will never use. It means you show up to the exam exhausted, confused, and underprepared.
Helping you pass means focusing on the 30% of material that makes up 80% of the exam. It means drilling the question types that trip people up. It means practicing performance-based scenarios until they become automatic. It means showing up to the exam confident, prepared, and ready to finish in 60 minutes instead of using all 90.
This is not theory. This is a system. And it works.
847 students have gone through this program. 89% passed on their first attempt. The average score is 793 out of 900. These are not people who studied for 6 months. These are people who committed 5 evenings and followed the process.
