In response to feedback from our community, the TCM Security team is pleased to announce some changes to our live training offerings to make certification prep more accessible and set every student up for success on their cybersecurity credentialing journeys!
Starting today, the following live training classes will come with a voucher for a certification related to the training content. These vouchers are valid for 12 months from the training date and also include 12 months of on-demand training, in addition to the class recordings.
To bundle these added benefits, some training prices will adjust. Many classes are decreasing in cost, and where prices rise, they will never exceed the standalone cost of the included voucher(s). A detailed class‑by‑class breakdown follows below.
We’re committed to empowering you with the knowledge, resources, and confidence to achieve your next certification milestone, efficiently and affordably!
