It's a simple question, but multiple answers can be available based on your situation and the options you choose. You may qualify for discounts that can decrease the cost, and you may want to consider additional learning and training that can also change the bottom line. Read on to find out more.
The basics: CompTIA CySA+ exam voucher only
You'll need to buy an exam voucher to gain access to the certification exam. A voucher represents a unique code that you can buy at the CompTIA Store and use to take your test at a Pearson VUE testing center. If a voucher is all you need, then see the purchase options below. Learn more information about the exam on the CompTIA CySA+ product page and details on how to buy a voucher on our testing pages. If you're ready to buy, head over to the store.
If you don't pass the exam, you'll need to purchase another voucher to take another test. That's why we recommend that you go into your exam well-prepared to minimize the chance of not passing the test and having to purchase an additional voucher.
Training and preparation
Our CompTIA Learning and Training offering is a set of comprehensive learning resources to support our certifications like CompTIA CySA+. This portfolio of products includes books, eLearning, labs and exam prep software, and is developed in house by CompTIA, based on feedback we hear from learners like you. These resources provide you with a variety of ways to acquire the knowledge that is outlined in the CySA+ exam objectives.
Self-study and test preparation
The self-study guide will teach you the fundamental principles that are required to prevent, detect, and combat cybersecurity threats. It will prepare you to take the CompTIA CySA+ exam by providing 100 percent coverage of the objectives and content examples listed on the syllabus.
Another great way to get an idea of what questions you can expect is to download a set of practice questions. Keep in mind that these practice questions are not questions that will be on the actual test and that there are different kinds of questions.
CompTIA CertMaster Training is a family of products that helps candidates learn the skills needed for a career in technology and prepare for their exams with confidence.
Classroom training
For some, self-study isn't the way to go, and classroom training is either available to them or simply the better choice to learn. CompTIA CySA+ certification training is offered by many public academic institutions, such as colleges, as well as private academic institutions, such as professional training centers.
The cost of classroom training depends on your choice and can range from a few hundred to several thousand dollars. CompTIA offers classroom training for organizations looking for instructor-led training.
