Prerequisites
We recommend you have the equivalent of a BS in Computer Science and a background in security. If you are not able to answer these questions, we HIGHLY recommend that you take the Software Security Foundations Certificate (online only) as the first course, because it provides the fundamentals necessary for the subsequent courses in the program.

You will receive a record of completion (certified PDF) via email upon completion of each course which contains your course history. The PDF is proof of course completion for reimbursement and can be requested at any time, on an as needed basis.
If Continuing Education Units (CEU's) are needed in order to maintain your yearly requirements for certain industry certifications or licensures, please call customer service at 650 204-3984. CEU transcripts are mailed by the Continuing Studies department and take approximately 6 weeks from course completion.
