Security+ certification class, Windows 7 and Office 2010 introductory classes now forming for this fall [CERTIFICATION CLASS]

Hi gang.

This post will only be worthwhile I suppose to the folks in Connecticut and perhaps the general vicinity surrounding. I have teamed up with Wallingford Computer Center to announce classes we are putting together for the fall.

This is a trial schedule – if we can get some decent interest we are looking into the possibility of expanding the offering in 2011.

In the meantime here is what we have on tap:

Saturday October 9th from 10:30AM to 3:00PM Introduction to Windows 7 – This class will introduce Windows XP and Vista users to the new Windows 7 GUI (graphical user interface) as well as to show them how to perform common tasks. Some of the steps from XP / Vista have stayed the same and others have changed.

The 1 day session cost is $124.00 and includes the classroom book to keep

Saturday October 16th from 10:30AM to 3:00PM Introduction to Office 2010 class - This class will introduce Office 2003 users (primarily) to Office 2010 and the Office Ribbon which replaces the Office 2003 menus and toolbars as well as to show them how to perform common tasks.

The 1 day session cost is $124.00 and includes the classroom book to keep

As a special offer – attendees that book both classes at the same time can do so at the discounted rate of $219.00 in total.

Additionally, we will be hosting a Security+ certification class.

This is a 40 hour class / workshop that will be held over five dates focused on the body of knowledge required to pass the CompTIA Security+ certification exam (2008 Edition)

The table below lists the domain areas measured by this examination and the approximate extent to which they are represented in the examination:

Domain % of Examination

1.0 Systems Security 21%
2.0 Network Infrastructure 20%
3.0 Access Control 17%
4.0 Assessments & Audits 15%
5.0 Cryptography 15%
6.0 Organizational Security 12%

Total 100%

The CompTIA Security+ (2008 Edition) Certification is a vendor neutral credential. The Security+ exam is an internationally recognized validation of foundation-level security skills and knowledge, and is used by organizations and security professionals around the globe.

The skills and knowledge measured by this examination are derived from an industry-wide Job Task Analysis (JTA) and were validated through a global survey in Q4, 2007. The results of this survey were used to validate the content of the domains and objectives and the overall domain weightings, ensuring the relative importance of the content.

The CompTIA Security+ (2008 Edition) Certification is aimed at an IT security professional who has:

• A minimum of 2 years experience in network administration with a focus on security
• Day to day technical information security experience
• Broad knowledge of security concerns and implementation including the topics in the domains of study for the exam as outlined above

The cost for the five day class is $1,200.00 and includes the text book for the class.

The dates for the class are currently planned as follows:

Saturday 11/13 8:00AM to 5:00PM
Saturday 11/20 8:00AM to 5:00PM
Saturday 12/04 8:00AM to 5:00PM
Saturday 12/11 8:00AM to 5:00PM
Saturday 12/18 8:00AM to 5:00PM
