Beginner · 8 weeks

CompTIA Security+ Bootcamp + Voucher

Eight weeks of preparation for the CompTIA Security+ SY0-701 exam, with labs and mock exams.

  • Live online, from anywhere
  • 8 weeks
  • A 2-hour live class every Monday
  • 4 hours a week
  • Next cohort: 15 January 2027

Who it’s for

  • Aspiring SOC analysts. You want a recognised certification for your first security job.
  • IT professionals. You’re in IT and need Security+ to formalise what you know.
  • Job seekers abroad. You’re targeting roles where Security+ is a baseline requirement.

Who it isn’t for

  • You’ve never used a command line and want a gentler start: take Introduction to Cybersecurity first.
  • You want hands-on offensive work: Ethical Hacking goes deeper.

Before you start: Comfortable with computers and basic networking terms. Network+ helps but isn’t required.

What you’ll build

Two full SY0-701 mock exams sat under real exam conditions, and a lab log of the controls you configured.

Exam and certificate

Prepares you for: CompTIA Security+ (SY0-701)

If you don’t pass the CompTIA exam first time, you get a free post-exam coaching session with our lead instructor to review weak areas, plus a discounted re-sit voucher.

CompTIA sets, runs and certifies the exam. We prepare you to sit it; we don’t award the certification.

Certificate, not certification

You receive a LearnCyber certificate of completion. It proves you completed the track, and employers can check it online. A certification is awarded by an exam body such as CompTIA.

What you’ll need

Laptop
A laptop with at least 8 GB of RAM and a stable internet connection
Internet
A connection that can hold a video call; every class is recorded if yours drops
Time
4 hours a week, including the 2-hour live class

Who teaches

Taught by Hackrowd Technology’s working penetration testers, the team that does this work for clients.

Offensive security

Penetration tests of web apps, APIs, networks and Active Directory for client organisations.

Questions

Is there a job guarantee?

No. No reputable school can guarantee you a job, and we won’t pretend to. What you do get: hands-on labs, a portfolio piece you can show an employer, and CV and interview coaching.

Is the exam voucher included?

Yes. Your fee includes one CompTIA exam voucher, so one exam attempt is included. If you don’t pass first time, you get a free post-exam coaching session and a discounted re-sit voucher.

Do I need Network+ first?

It helps but isn’t required. We cover the networking you need.

How long does Security+ last?

CompTIA certifications are valid for three years and can be renewed through continuing education.

What if I fail the exam?

You get a free post-exam coaching session with our lead instructor to review weak areas, plus a discounted re-sit voucher.
