How does the schedule work? Is it a 2 week boot camp for one Cert, followed by the exam, or do all the exams come at the end of the course? <br /> Also, what is recommended to study before attending the course? Any good advice or pro-tips?<br /><br />Background on me: Worked in Army Aviation over a decade, recently re-upped and reclassed for 25D, AIT towards the end of 2018. Never worked anything with IT before, only know the bare essentials. Took SEC+ boot camp earlier this year, studied hard during the 2 week course, scored 757 (passing by one question). Zero Linux/Python Experience.

Every class that has gone through the classes have changed. Only ones I know you will definitely take are 401 and 504. Consecutive is out for now but their bringing it back end of 2018 or in 2019. You’ll have a week of military tools training with Army test at end. Pay attention in this class. These are the tools you will be using on a daily basis. Not as sexy as SANS but you need to know them. <br />Pay attention in class and when you get out of class study till you go to bed. Don’t go out and party. Read the books cover to cover and make a good index. If you have family, leave them where their at or send them to your next duty station. You won’t have time and don’t need the distractions. Good luck.
