CompTIA Security+ (SY0-701)
The Industry Standard for Core Cybersecurity Skills
Break Into Cybersecurity with Confidence
Security+ is the cert that opens the door. It's the baseline employers ask for by name — and it's approved for DoD 8140 roles, so it carries real weight in both the public and private sector. Earn it and you're telling hiring managers you can spot threats, harden systems, and respond when something goes wrong. For most people, it's the first real step from "interested in security" to getting paid to do it.

CompTIA A+ (220-1201 & 220-1202)
The Industry Standard to Start Your IT Career
Start Your IT Career on the
Right Foundation
Almost every great IT career starts with A+. It proves you can actually do the work — set up and troubleshoot hardware, networks, operating systems, and security across the devices businesses run on every day. Employers treat it as the cert that says "this person is ready for the help desk and beyond." Earn both Core 1 (220-1201) and Core 2 (220-1202) and you've got the credential hiring managers look for first.
Unlock High-Demand Roles:

CompTIA Network+ (N10-009)
The Networking Foundation Every IT Pro Needs
Own the Network — End to End
Network+ proves you can design, configure, manage, and troubleshoot the networks that everything else runs on. It's the natural next step after A+ and the foundation that makes Security+ click. Employers lean on it for one simple reason: a person who truly understands networking can find and fix problems the rest of the team can't. It maps to real NICE and DoD 8140 work roles, so it counts where it matters.

- 90 minutes · passing score 720 (on a 100–900 scale)

CompTIA CySA+ (CS0-003)
Defend, Detect, Respond — the Cybersecurity Analyst's Cert
Step Into the Security Operations Center
Security+ gets you in the door — CySA+ puts you on the front line. This is the cert for the people who watch the alerts, hunt the threats, and respond when something looks wrong. It's built around real security operations: behavioral analytics, vulnerability management, incident response, and the reporting that turns raw data into a decision. It's also DoD 8140 approved, so it carries weight on government and enterprise teams alike.
Every question in our simulator is a scenario you'd actually face as a SOC or security analyst — triage, investigation, and response. No trivia. No definition drills.
- Security operations & proactive threat hunting
- Vulnerability management & incident response
- Reporting & communication that drives real decisions
Who It's For
- SOC analysts & security operations staff
- Threat hunters & incident responders
- Security+ holders moving deeper into blue-team work
Focus Areas
- Security operations & monitoring
- Vulnerability management
- Incident response, reporting & communication
Recommended Experience
- Network+ and Security+ (or equivalent knowledge)
- ~4 years of hands-on security experience
- DoD 8140 approved for cyber defense roles

CompTIA PenTest+ (PT0-003)
Prove You Can Think — and Test — Like an Attacker
Offensive Security, Certified and Hands-On
Plenty of people can talk about hacking. PenTest+ proves you can actually do it — safely, legally, and with a report the business can act on. It covers the full engagement: planning and scoping, reconnaissance, exploitation, post-exploitation, and the write-up that ties it all together. It's the cert that moves you from defending systems to testing them the way a real adversary would, and it's DoD 8140 approved for offensive roles.
Every question in our simulator is a hands-on scenario — the kind of decision you'd make mid-engagement, not a vocabulary quiz.
- Engagement planning, scoping & reconnaissance
- Attacks, exploits & post-exploitation techniques
- Reporting & communication clients can act on
Who It's For
- Penetration testers & red-team operators
- Vulnerability analysts moving into offensive work

What Our Students Say
Real results from real CompTIA candidates — no recycled success stories
"Passed Security+ on my second try — and ExamGrit played a huge role in making that happen. The performance-based questions were really close to the real SY0-701 exam, and the explanations finally made the tricky topics click. Highly recommend it to anyone prepping for Security+!"
"I used ExamGrit to prepare for Security+, and it really came through for me. Passed on my first attempt. The simulator was solid, and the explanations behind every answer tied the whole thing together — I walked in knowing the material, not just memorizing it. Highly recommend it!"
"I worked through the domain mini exams, reviewed every wrong answer, then ran the full-length mocks the week before my Network+ exam. Walked in feeling ready and passed comfortably. The explanations are what made the difference — not just the questions themselves."
"My manager told me to get A+ certified within a quarter. Challenge accepted — and passed both Core 1 and Core 2. The simulator accurately predicted my readiness; my mock scores matched my final result almost exactly. The performance-based questions are thorough and realistic, which is exactly what you need for this exam."
