Compliant with Department of Defense (DoD) Directive 8570 / 8140, get the cybersecurity training required to perform your duties as well as safeguard IT environments at ONLC Training Centers.

Once you've identified your position, level and baseline certification requirements within the workforce contact ONLC to get started on the training that will help you prepare for certification. Once you've passed the authorized exam notify your manager that you're compliant. Also, certification holders must keep their IT certifications current by following the recertification policies set by their certification provider. Keeping your certification current helps to ensure longevity in your IT career.

The above table lists DoD approved IA baseline certifications aligned to each category and level of the IA Workforce. Personnel performing IA functions must obtain one of the certifications required for their position, category/specialty and level to fulfill the IA baseline certification requirement. Most IA levels within a category or specialty have more than one approved certification and a certification may apply to more than one level. An individual needs to obtain only one of the "approved certifications" for his or her IA category or specialty and level to meet the minimum requirement. For example, an individual in an IAT Level II position could obtain any one of the four certifications listed in the IAT Level II cell. Higher level IAT and IAM certifications satisfy lower level requirements. Certifications listed in Level II or III cells can be used to qualify for Level I. However, Level I certifications cannot be used for Level II or III unless the certification is also listed in the Level II or III cell. For example:
Higher level CSSP and IASAE certifications do not satisfy lower level requirements |
