What is CertMaster Perform?

CertMaster Perform brings together narrative instructional content, videos, performance-based questions (PBQs), skills assessments, live labs and more to offer a comprehensive learning experience to prepare candidates for their CompTIA certification exam and validate their expertise in cybersecurity. For security architects or security engineers with five or more years of experience, this course recognizes it’s not necessary to start from the beginning; instead, it’s designed to identify knowledge gaps and provide learning content to get candidates up to speed on expert-level topics. Instruction is centered around a learning progression model to help users learn concepts and actively build skills related to the course objectives. This learning methodology uses a series of steps to contextualize the material, elaborate on areas where additional instruction is needed, and provide relevance through practice and customized feedback. The course is broken into modules and lessons, and different activities throughout the course take learning to the next level by providing hands-on skills practice and personalized instruction.

• A pre-assessment helps learners identify areas of strengths and weaknesses
• Lab activities in live environments provide hands-on practice using real networks with virtualized appliances, such as firewalls, IPS, and SIEM solutions
• Videos are integrated into the text to provide instruction and illustration at the point where it's the most relevant
