CompTIA Security+ Training

Jacksonville professionals earn CompTIA Security+ through the University of North Florida's Professional and Lifelong Learning partnership with Applied Technology Academy. This is the industry's baseline cybersecurity certification and the most-requested credential in entry-level security job postings, delivered live online or in person by ATA's practitioner instructors.

Coursework centers on core security concepts, threats and vulnerabilities, cryptography, identity and access management, and hands-on risk mitigation — the preparation Northeast Florida employers expect for SOC analyst, security administrator and cyber-defense roles — and it is DoD 8140 approved. UNF PLL students get ATA's hands-on labs, unlimited mentoring and 5-star student support from first class to certification.
