CPSA (Consumer Products Safety Association) has introduced new certification courses for sales representatives. They offer a range of certifications, including the Foundation Level (CPSA-F(r)), Practitioner Level (CPSA-P) and Instructor Training Courses. Here we will discuss the differences between the levels of certification, as well as the benefits of each. This information will help you decide which certifications to get, as well as the best courses to take.
CPSA Foundation Level (CPSA-F(r)
The CPSA Foundation Level course is a four-day course that provides the knowledge and skills needed to pass the exam. The course is designed to prepare students to take the exam, which is a multiple-choice test. To pass the exam, candidates must score 60 percent of the total. The exam is administered by a recognized certification body. There are several ways to take the exam. The exam may be taken in English, Spanish, Italian, or German.
The curriculum for the CPSA Foundation Level course is based on the knowledge and skills of the iSAQB. This curriculum includes content that iSAQB members deem relevant and useful for software architects. It is important to note, however, that it does not cover the full scope of software architecture. Students should have some prior knowledge and experience of software architecture before taking the CPSA Foundation Level course. The course also provides opportunities for professional development.
CPSA Practitioner Level (CPSA-P(r)
The CREST CPSA course aligns with the syllabus for the CREST CPSA CREST Practitioner Security Analyst certification exam. This five-day course will prepare students for the multiple-choice CPSA CREST examination. During the course, students will perform lab exercises and demo applications. The CREST CPSA course is recommended for students with varying IT experience levels. It can be taken for two purposes: to prepare for the CREST Registered Tester (CRT) exam, and to earn CRT certification.
This certification requires students to demonstrate their knowledge of common network services and operating systems. CREST has a series of exams for this exam that test the candidate’s knowledge of web application security testing. During the CPSA Practitioner Level course, candidates learn about the various techniques to identify common web application security vulnerabilities. CPSA training also covers core skills. Upon completion of the course, graduates receive the CRT and CHECK Team Member qualifications.
CPSA Short Courses
The CPSA Advanced Level is divided into three competency areas: software, hardware, and network. Each competency area has a separate training module, which teaches specific competencies and earns the participant credit points. In order to become a certified security analyst, candidates must earn 70 total credits from all three areas. In addition to attending three training sessions, applicants must achieve a 75% attendance rate at each of them. In addition to the CPSA Advanced Level, participants can choose to pursue additional trainings or certifications.
CPSA Short Courses are tailored to meet the needs of individual learners. They are a fast-paced, bite-sized format that enable learners to earn badges and credentials while advancing their careers. They are designed for individuals who are busy with work or other responsibilities, and may not have the time to take a full-length course. CPSA uses the D2L Brightspace platform to increase its geographic reach, and members can take short courses, earn credentials, and sit for exams.
CPSA Instructor Training Course
If you have been aspiring to become an instructor but are unsure where to start, there are a number of options for you. CPSA offers Short Courses in the four most popular domestic disciplines and CPSA Instructor Training Courses. Each course provides an opportunity to learn about industry practices, emerging applications, and new analytical technologies. Short Course Instructors work to create a dynamic learning environment by reviewing key fundamentals and facilitating discussion among participants.
A CPSA Instructor Training Course consists of a four-day Practitioner Certificate in Information Assurance Architecture and practical workshop. During the course, you’ll learn about the CPSA Method, as well as gun fitting, gun pattern testing, and safety. The CPSA Method is used to teach shooting techniques for moving and crossing targets. You’ll also receive a certificate, and a logbook with the results. CPSA instructors can earn the CPSA Instructor Diploma within a few weeks after successfully completing the course.
