Security+ Courses South Africa
Several institutions in South Africa offer CompTIA Security+ courses, including School of IT. These courses cover fundamental cybersecurity concepts and are available in various formats, such as self-paced, instructor-led, and virtual options, with study durations and costs varying by provider.
CompTIA Security+
All in all Security+ is the entry-level cybersecurity credential offered by non-profit trade association CompTIA. Thus It’s often the first certification in information security that an IT professional earns. In turn by showing potential employers that you have the core skills required for a cybersecurity role, you may find more job opportunities as a more competitive candidate.
All in all there are no formal requirements to take the Security+ exam. Thus CompTIA recommends that you have two years of experience in IT administration with a security focus. Furthermore it may also be a good idea to have an up-to-date CompTIA Network+ certification first.
Earning your Security+ certification requires passing a certification exam. Let’s take a closer look at the details of this exam, as of November 2022.

Every lesson is a live call on MS Teams or Google Meet. You see your lecturer, they see you, and you both share screens, so you're doing the work, not just listening.
