IP3’s instructor-led and interactive online training program provides comprehensive and in-depth self-study materials and online technical support that cover the 5 domains of the Security+™ curriculum.  Each domain is broken down into a live 2 hour session held on Tuesdays with a follow-up review session every Thursday. We use a WebEx platform to allow for viewing, and VoIP audio and optional phone conferencing, and instant messaging. You are not just listening to the lecture you are participating in it. Through this approach we maximize human contact and interaction between not only you and your instructor but your peers as well. You will be able to see and hear your peer's questions, which will only benefit your learning experience, and be able to ask your own as soon as you have them.

If you happen to miss an online session, that's no problem. You can just access our archive site and download the full session to your desktop. Our online program gives you the option of receiving a 120GB Apple iPod with video capabilities, or an 8 GB iPod Touch, preloaded with all 5 domains to take your learning one step further. This option allows to study when it fits your schedule. Whether you are catching up on a missed live class or reviewing before your exam this educational tool will take your training to the next level and give you the flexibility and convenience you have been waiting for in a training program. Take our program with you when you are flying, or at lunch, or on a long car ride. It really allows you to learn at anytime, anywhere!

During the follow-up review session we cover the practice test on each domain that you will receive, as well as answer any questions you may have regarding the material. These practice tests are the key to passing your exam. Our certified and welled trained instructors of the course will go through the practice tests to teach you how to shuffle your way through the answers to find the correct one. No matter the difficulty, they will teach you how to apply your knowledge of the subject matter to give you the confidence in the answer that you choose. Everyone knows practice makes perfect and by thoroughly going through the practice tests you will become comfortable with the exam format and have the self-assurance to make it through the exam.

You will also be able to use your 300+ page workbook designed by IT professionals and the Security+™ Guide to Network Security Fundamentals” Second Edition by Mark Ciampa to follow along with the domains and to prepare for the upcoming session and review afterwards.

IP3’s training program has continuing enrollments; which means you can start when it is convenient for you and your budget. Each domain is independent; so you can jump in at anytime and just wrap around into the next session for an entire year. They are not building blocks like you would see in a math or programming course. As long as you get in the 5 domains you will receive all the information everyone else does. It is what makes us the most flexible program around.

No other Security+™ training compares in price and the amount of supplemental material you will receive!

Preparing for the Exam

It is vital that you understand the big picture and concepts. Memorize facts – cram sessions can get you through the test but can not give you the knowledge you will need to truly become a security professional. The key is the ability to recognize the meaning, context and use of all relevant concepts in the 5 domains.

Where Do I Begin?

IP3 has included many learning resources in your Security+™ kit, so the logical question is “Where do I begin?”

The answer is only you can determine that. Our recommendation is that you group the course materials and domains into three categories; Domains that I feel that I know very well, domains that I know somewhat, and domains that I know little about.

After you have grouped the domains in this or a similar order, we recommend spending 50% of your time studying the middle group of domains that you know somewhat well, and 25% of your time on each of the other two groups.

Once you have grouped the domains you can use the online sessions, Thompson Course Technologies text, and IP3 workbook and reference materials to study the domains and chapters in the above mentioned fashion.

Learn your Learning Style

Different people learn in different ways. It is beneficial to determine the way in which you learn best. Are you a visual, auditory, or Tactile/Kinesthetic learner?

Visual Learners learn through seeing……

These learners need to see the teacher's body language and facial expression to fully understand the content of a lesson. They tend to prefer sitting at the front of the classroom to avoid visual obstructions. They may think in pictures and learn best from visual displays including: diagrams, illustrated text books, overhead transparencies, videos, flipcharts and hand-outs. During a lecture or classroom discussion, visual learners often prefer to take detailed notes to absorb the information.

Auditory Learners learn through hearing……

They learn best through verbal lectures, discussions, talking things through and listening to what others have to say. Auditory learners interpret the underlying meanings of speech through listening to tone of voice, pitch, speed and other nuances. Written information may have little meaning until it is heard. These learners often benefit from reading text aloud and using a tape recorder.

Tactile/Kinesthetic learners learn through touching and moving things……

Tactile/Kinesthetic persons learn best through a hands-on approach, actively exploring the physical world around them. They may find it hard to sit still for long periods and may become distracted by their need for activity and exploration.

Christian R. , Information Security Administrator, Basking Ridge, NJ

"Just wanted to drop a note.  I took the class back in November, and finally got around to taking the exam a couple weeks ago.  I found the exam to be one of the hardest tests I have taken based on the layout and wording.  The learning and preparation as well as the extra helpers, audios, study tips paid off in the long run.  I passed.

I have recommended the training to others, and will continue to do so.

Thanks again!"
