In 2004, the DoD created a directive that requires all DoD information assurance technicians and managers are trained and certified to effectively defend DoD information, information systems and information infrastructures.
COMPTIA's A+, Network+, and Security+ training courses have been approved courses. Starting in January, Millbrook Office Support and Training Center will be offering the COMPTIA A+ class. We will offer a 7 and 5 day version of the class. The 7 day class will offer a much more hands on class but both are geared toward passing the COMPTIA certification exam.
If you are interested you can read the most current PDF concerning it here:
Information Assurance Training, Certification, and Workforce Management Directive 8500.01E
This section was taken from a post that describes what it entails.
"What is the significance of this mandate and of commercial certification in general? This mandate will have far-reaching implications, including:
* The Directive is viewed as a government endorsement of the effectiveness and costefficiency of commercial certification.
* It provides military and civilian personnel with a certification that is professional, internationally recognized and vendor-neutral (not tied to any agency, technology or product).
* It provides a portable certification that is recognized in both the public and private sectors.
* It mandates and endorses a global standard (ANSI/ISO/IEC 17024).
* It positions the information security profession as a distinct job series."
