Schedule Your Certification Exam

The curriculum of Ops 401 is aligned to the learning objectives of the CompTIA Security+ certification. Earning this certification demonstrates foundational knowledge of information security. For this assignment, you’ll schedule your CompTIA Security+ exam to be taken at the end of the course.

If your funding source doesn’t support 3rd-party certifications, discuss an alternative with your instructor.

If for some reason you cannot schedule your exam before the end of your course, discuss an alternative with your instructor.

Objectives

Tasks

• Sign in and schedule the CompTIA Security+ with either a testing center or virtually from home. Ensure that you schedule your exam for a date prior to the final day of class, which is project demo day.
• Once you have scheduled your exam, take a screenshot of your exam appointment date and time. Paste this into your Google Doc. Explain how you will use the study guide to prepare you for the exam (hint: find the practice tests!).

At the end of this course, you will submit your final score on the Security+ exam and it will be weighted towards your course grade.
