Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need prior cybersecurity knowledge?
No. Module 1 covers the cybersecurity market landscape from scratch. You need basic B2B sales experience (12+ months is preferred) but zero security knowledge is required.
How long does the course take?
29 hours of instruction across 22 modules. Most students complete it in 4-8 weeks depending on their schedule. There's no deadline. Lifetime access means you can work through it at any pace.
Is this a vendor certification like CompTIA or ISC2?
No. This is an educational course, not an industry certification. The completion certificate is a record of finishing the course, not a credential recognized by hiring managers the way CompTIA Security+ or CISSP are.
What makes this different from generic sales training?
The content is specific to cybersecurity buyers, procurement processes, and vendor dynamics. General sales training doesn't cover security buyer psychology, compliance-driven procurement, CISO selling, or federal sales nuances. This does.
Can I get a refund?
Yes. Complete Module 1 and email us within 14 days of purchase. Full refund, no questions. We don't offer refunds after 14 days or without completing Module 1.
