Description

The Virtual Training Environment (VTE) is produced by the Software Engineering Institutes CERT® Program. The VTE Core Information Security Course Suite is a collection of on-demand, web-based training courses for information security and information assurance professionals in the U.S. government and related entities. Subscribers to this program receive access to the suite of information security courses for one year and may renew access annually to take advantage of course updates and additions.

Course lists and outlines are available for only the following two audiences:

• Department of Defense personnel (active duty, DoD civilian, and Guard/Reserve): https://www.vte.cert.org/vteweb/RequestAccess/8570Program.aspx
• Federal Civilian Agency employees: https://www.vte.cert.org/vteweb/RequestAccess/FISMAProgram.aspx

We regularly add new courses and refresh existing material. When new material is released, it will automatically be added to all subscriber profiles.

Subscribers are not required to complete any course, but VTE tracks progress and issues completion certificates that can be used for continuing education units (CEUs). Completion of courses cannot be used for university credit. Subscribers may ignore courses on topics that are not of interest.

Note that this program includes instructor support and student interaction via course discussion forums only. These are not live courses.
