Varsity Tutors can connect you with personalized GIAC prep options that can allow you to build the skills you need to feel confident about your certification exam. The Global Information Assurance Certification or GIAC offers more than 30 certifications for those specializing in information security. Unlike other information security certifications, the GIAC tests assess your skills based on the job you'd like to have for a more thorough representation of your abilities. You can choose from several levels of the exam, such as Expert and Gold. GIAC tutoring can be just the thing to boost your study efforts. Get in touch with one of our academic advisers to learn more about the GIAC test prep services we have to offer.
The GIAC offers certification in a variety of categories. GIAC test preparation can focus on the exam which you are preparing to take. The categories are listed below:
Certification Categories:
- Cyber Defense
- Penetration Testing
- Incident Response and Forensics
- Management, Audit, Legal
- Developer
- Industrial Control Systems
- GSE(GIAC Security Expert)
Before entering a GIAC test prep class, it is important to consider what brought you to the GIAC in the first place. While there are many certifications available for Information Security, the GIAC offers many more certifications that dig deeper than others that you may have chosen to take. This can be illustrated by the table below:
What sets the GIAC Certifications apart from others:
- Emphasis on the practical application of knowledge.
- Demonstrated ability. Students who complete technical research papers are publicly posted to the GIAC web site, both to demonstrate their ability and to help to educate others in the security field.
- Community focus. Both SANS and GIAC place a strong emphasis on the security community as a whole.
Each certification category offers several different exams depending on the field you're interested in applying for. GIAC classes aim to help you build the skills that are covered on the specific exam, whether you're taking the GIAC Advanced Smartphone Forensics or Certified Web Application Defender. One-on-one GIAC prep offers a variety of unique benefits that can enhance your study sessions.
GIAC tutors can spend some time working with you to create a customized GIAC test prep plan. This plan encompasses the material you'd like to focus on during your GIAC courses. Your instructor can factor in your learning personality, interests, testing goals, skill level, and areas of opportunity to find ways to bring efficiency to your studies. GIAC preparation can allow you to focus on the areas you have the most room for improvement, rather than pouring through each aspect of the test. Perhaps you need to spend time practicing your coding skills for the Secure Software Programmer-Java certification exam. Maybe you need to brush up on your grasp of ethical hacking methodologies and non-technical penetration testing techniques. Your instructor can patiently work with you as you review and practice your skills, assessing your progress as they do so to ensure that you remain on the right track.
Your private GIAC prep sessions can be conducted in-person or over our Live Learning Platform. This can ensure that you can always find a suitable time to work with your instructor by allowing you to schedule GIAC class sessions at your convenience. GIAC prep is designed to be a flexible service that doesn't interrupt your life.
Thorough GIAC test prep can help you feel confident and self-assured as you enter the testing center. We can't wait to help you connect with a solid GIAC course that can take your studies to a new level.
