Pearson IT Cybersecurity Curriculum
 

ITCC for Instructors

Pearson's IT Cybersecurity Curriculum (ITCC) series is designed to support the critical need for workforce development in cybersecurity. Pearson ITCC provides multi-modal, real-world focused, hands-on courseware that can be used as a complete cybersecurity program, or individual courses that can be chosen ad hoc to fill in your program to your professional profile. The Pearson ITCC series emphasis is on applied, hands-on learning and validation through certifications set by industry organizations like EC Council, CompTIA, and Cisco. Certifications augment the merit of an academic degree by providing learners with practical, industry-valued, stackable credentials proving a baseline of knowledge acquisition and competency for future employment and workforce development.

Mapped to leading industry standards: Be assured of compliance with industry standards and topical coverage. The Pearson IT Cybersecurity Curriculum is mapped to NSA/DHS Center for Academic Excellence knowledge units, and is aligned with the NIST/NICE framework and ACM CSEC2017 Curriculum guidance.
