The BTA Guarantee
We're so confident in the quality of BTA Academy training that when you pass a BTA certification, we include a voucher for an industry-standard certification exam - on us.
Certified in Cybersecurity Exam Voucher
Voucher value - included free with BTA-SOF pass
(ISC)² Certified in Cybersecurity (CC) is the entry-level certification from the organization behind CISSP. Recognized globally by enterprises and government agencies. If you can pass our hands-on exam, the CC will be a breeze.
Systems Security Certified Practitioner Voucher
Voucher value - included free with BTA-SOA pass
(ISC)² SSCP validates hands-on security skills across access controls, incident response, cryptography, and network security. It's the practitioner-level cert from the CISSP organization - and our training maps directly to its domains.
Certified Information Systems Security Professional Voucher
Voucher value - included free with BTA-SOP pass
(ISC)² CISSP is the gold standard in cybersecurity certifications. Required for senior roles at Fortune 500s, government agencies, and consulting firms worldwide. If you can architect and automate defenses in our 8-hour practical exam, CISSP is yours.
BTA Academy exams are harder than any multiple-choice certification. Our exams require you to actually defend real environments with real tools under time pressure. If you can pass our practical exam, an (ISC)² certification will be a breeze.
By including the voucher, we're putting our money where our mouth is. We're so confident in the quality of our training that we'll fund your (ISC)² certification. You walk away with two certifications - one that proves you can do the work (BTA), and one that's recognized by every employer on the planet ((ISC)²).
(ISC)² certifications are the global gold standard. CC, SSCP, and CISSP are required or preferred for roles at every Fortune 500, government agency, and major consulting firm. Pairing a BTA practical cert with an (ISC)² industry cert makes you unstoppable on the job market.
Vouchers are issued within 7 days of passing your BTA exam. Valid for 12 months. One voucher per certification tier. (ISC)² exam scheduling and delivery handled directly through (ISC)²/Pearson VUE. BTA Academy is not affiliated with (ISC)² — we simply believe in their certifications enough to fund yours.
"We believe in our training — but we also believe in accountability. One funded attempt means you'll take it seriously, and our pass rates prove the training works."
