The Advanced Certificate in Cyber Security is a comprehensive training pathway consisting of four stackable WSQ modules—three foundation modules (CompTIA A+, Security+, Linux+) and one elective module (CompTIA CySA+ or PenTest+). These modules are designed to build progressively from fundamental IT skills to specialized cybersecurity competencies.

Each module follows the official CompTIA syllabus, ensuring strong industry alignment and relevance to the cybersecurity job market. Learners will gain practical, hands-on experience in IT support, system administration, network security, threat detection, and vulnerability assessment.

All four modules are eligible for WSQ funding of up to 70%, significantly reducing the out-of-pocket cost for Singaporeans and Permanent Residents. The remaining net course fees can also be claimed using SkillsFuture Credit, making the program highly accessible for individuals seeking skills upgrading or a career transition into cybersecurity.

Upon completion of the required modules, participants will be well-prepared for globally recognized CompTIA certification exams and equipped for roles such as IT Support Technician, Security Analyst, SOC Analyst, Cybersecurity Technician, or Penetration Tester.

Advanced Certificate in Cyber Security – Course Overview

The Advanced Certificate in Cyber Security is a structured, industry-aligned training pathway designed to equip learners with the essential technical competencies and practical skills required for entry-level and intermediate roles in the cybersecurity sector. This certification consists of four stackable modules, including three foundation modules and one elective module, all of which follow recognized CompTIA syllabus, ensuring relevance to real-world job demands and global certification standards.

Learners who complete CompTIA A+, Security+, and Linux+ (the foundation modules), along with one elective module—either CompTIA CySA+ or CompTIA PenTest+—will be awarded the Advanced Certificate in Cyber Security.

Foundation Modules (3 Required)

Module 1: CompTIA A+ – IT Support & Infrastructure Fundamentals

This module builds a strong foundation in IT support, covering hardware, operating systems, networking basics, and essential troubleshooting skills. It prepares learners to manage IT infrastructure, perform system diagnostics, and maintain secure device configurations—key competencies for all cybersecurity roles.
