CERT’s Virtual Training Environment (VTE)
https://www.vte.cert.org/vteweb/
A new source for Security+ and CISSP training is the one DISA has purchased for use by DoD personnel. It is a Carnegie Mellon/Marine Corps developed Virtual Training Environment (VTE) for Security+ that can be used by all services and agencies within the department. Anyone with a .mil address can access the training - includes military, civilian, and contractors.
This is an on-line training platform that gives instructor led classroom training and labs. To access the Security + or CISSP training that is now available go to https://www.vte.cert.org. Go to the site and register.
VTE folks will allow access and track use of licenses and report that information back to DISA. When the user finishes the training, the license goes back in the pot for another user. The licenses are only needed for the labs and instructor-led training.
