For decision-makers
Plan your team’s training like the numbers are real
Because here, they are. Every figure traces to a vendor’s official page; nothing on these pages sells training, and no team total is ever invented for you. Pick the seat you sit in:
L&D / training manager
Defensible, vendor-neutral cert plans and per-seat costs across your IT functions.
IT manager
The start-here → advancement ladder per seat — and what renewals cost the team in years two and three.
IT director
A multi-team certification strategy you can defend in the budget meeting.
CISO / security leader
DoD 8140 baseline coverage and an honest analyst ladder for the SOC bench.
CTO / CIO
Where certifications genuinely move capability — and where they are theater.
Government / defense workforce officer
Approved-baseline mapping per work role, with confirm-at-source discipline throughout.
