DOD 8570
The DOD 8570 Directive provides guidance and procedures for the training, certification, and management of all government employees requiring Information Assurance functions in their line of duty. These individuals are required to carry an approved certification for their particular job classification. The most common certifications required are A+, Network+ and Security+ which cover basic computing, networks, and cyber security. DOD has worked closely with the independent certification Organization COMPTia to ensure objective, uniform standards are applied to the testing and certification process.
Towards the end of the federal government fiscal year, many DOD organizations are faced with critical decisions for their workforce, cyber security posture and compliance with certification provisions of the DOD 8570 Directive. It’s our mission to assist both our uniformed military and civilian workforce to achieve full compliancy with the directive. An added benefit to our training programs, is the significant, deep competency Blue River Training that students achieve in these important Information Assurance disciplines. It’s all done through the Blue River Training DOD 8570 Certification Training Incentive Package.
The DOD 8570 Certification Training End of Year Incentive Packages for the Air National Guard includes Comptia-approved curriculum, on-site delivery, instruction by certified, expert instructors and even exam administration if required. Tuition starts at $695 per student for a week long “Boot Camp” style immersion training. Blue River Training students enjoy some of the highest test pass rates in the industry and signification retention of course material long after DOD 8570 Certification Training is completed.
