3 certifications included in your programme
In a world where cyber threats keep growing, cybersecurity certifications play a key role for professionals who want to stand out. They demonstrate internationally recognised skills and open up a wide range of career opportunities.
EBIOS Risk Manager certification: preparation and exam (first year)
The EBIOS Risk Manager certification prepares professionals to master the EBIOS method for assessing and managing cyber risks. It covers threat identification, impact analysis and the implementation of appropriate measures. Passing the certification validates the ability to lead risk analyses that protect information systems.
ISO 27001 Implementer certification: preparation and exam (second year)
The ISO 27001 Implementer certification prepares professionals to design, implement and maintain an Information Security Management System (ISMS) that complies with the ISO 27001 standard. The training covers the key steps, such as risk analysis, setting up security policies and evaluating control measures. Candidates learn to adapt these processes to the specific needs of their organisation. Passing the certification validates their ability to manage and audit an ISMS, ensuring compliance and the protection of sensitive data.
CISSP preparation and exam voucher (second year)
The CISSP (Certified Information Systems Security Professional) is one of the most widely recognised cybersecurity certifications worldwide. It attests to a high level of competence in information systems security management and is a real asset for moving into senior positions. At CSB.SCHOOL, we prepare our students for this demanding certification with rigorous supervision and high-quality learning resources. To reward their commitment and level of preparation, we offer a voucher for the official exam to everyone who passes the mock exam. This initiative boosts their motivation and makes it easier to reach this key career milestone. Preparing for the CISSP with us means investing in a solid, recognised professional future.
