How quickly can cybersecurity training pay for itself?
Potentially a lot sooner than you might think.
From Security+ and PenTest+ to CISSP, CISM, CySA+ and CEH, the right training can help you build skills that translate into greater earning potential and new career opportunities.

CMMC compliance requires more than understanding the framework. Someone has to assess it.
CMMC Certified Assessor (CCA) training prepares cybersecurity and compliance professionals to develop the knowledge and skills needed to conduct CMMC assessments.
Learn how to evaluate evidence, work through the assessment process, document findings, and apply CMMC requirements in practice.
If you work with defense contractors, cybersecurity compliance, risk management, or the Defense Industrial Base, CCA training could be a valuable next step.
Learn more about CCA training from TrainACE.

From Call Center Manager to Deputy Director of Infrastructure Services | TrainACE Alumni Story

After 15 years in call center management, Jason Stroud was laid off and made a bold decision: stop managing people, start managing computers. In this alumni interview, he shares how earning his CompTIA A+ and Network+ certifications at TrainACE in 2004 launched a career that's taken him all the way to Deputy Director of Infrastructure Services at an MSP overseeing security, platforms, and a 24/7 NOC team.

He breaks down why he chose in-person, live training over remote learning, how asking questions in real time changed the way he understood exam concepts, and why the certification never stops once you pass the test.

DoD 8140 replaced 8570 with a system that's more complex and precise yet provides more flexibility for learned experience and specialization within the industry. The complexity makes it harder for training companies to explain how a student navigates DoD requirements, but as we learn to map 8140 to a role it forces us to better understand DoD requirements at a more granular level.

Coordinators still planning against the old 8570 categories are working from a map that stopped matching the territory years ago, and the Department's own implementation deadlines for full compliance have already passed. Mapping to the new system is harder than it was but it isn't complicated: remap positions to current DCWF work roles, confirm qualification status against the current matrix, and budget training accordingly for both civilian/military personnel and contractors under their respective clocks. It just needs to happen now, not eventually.

If you're not sure where your team stands against current 8140 requirements, that's worth a short conversation before it becomes an audit finding. Link in comments.
