"The last week (at ACI) was probably the best week of my life. I got to finish school and get to start my new job. I got the job offer that same week. It was amazing. I have connections that I wouldn't have had if I didn't attend ACI. I now have friendships that I can rely on and build. So it's definitely everything that I could have asked for."

No training program can guarantee a job. However, ACI Learning Tech Academy had a 73% employment outcome rate across our programs for 2025, which is strong for the industry.
This rate reflects graduates who are employed in the field they were trained for, not inflated numbers that include unrelated roles. Through instructor-led training and dedicated career support, we help prepare students for entry-level IT roles and support them in landing positions aligned with their training.
The Cybersecurity Analyst program prepares you for three in-demand CompTIA certifications: Security+, PenTest+, and CySA+. You’ll start by building a strong foundation in core cybersecurity concepts with Security+, then develop hands-on offensive security skills with PenTest+, and learn to detect and respond to threats using real-world tools and techniques with CySA+. Together, these certifications help you build the practical skills needed to step into a cybersecurity role with confidence.
All ACI Learning Tech Academy programs are designed with veterans and military families in mind. However, as an online-only program, Cybersecurity Analyst can’t be funded with most military education benefits (including Chapter 33). We recommend reviewing your specific eligibility and visiting our funding page for more resources and information on other funding options.
The Cybersecurity Analyst program costs $9,850, and funding options are available. Most students fund their training for this program with a student loan. We work with several providers for student loans. Visit our funding page to explore available opportunities.
If you complete one of ACI Learning Tech Academy’s ACE CREDIT–recommended courses, you may be eligible to earn college credit. The Cybersecurity Analyst program is recommended for up to 6 college credits by ACE.
ACE CREDIT recommendations allow you to gain entry-level IT training and certifications while still having the option to apply for college credit later. If you decide to pursue a bachelor’s degree or additional education in the future, this can help you get a head start.
