Global Knowledge U.S.A. is already offering the full portfolio of SECO-Institute since 2018. Due to a rapidly increasing demand for certifications of the SECO-Institute in the Netherlands, Global Knowledge the Netherlands decided to expand the existing partnership with SECO-Institute by offering the full portfolio of Cyber Security and Continuity courses and certifications in the Netherlands.
‘We are very proud of our partnership with Global Knowledge. It shows very clearly that the SECO-Institute portfolio is being recognized as a serious alternative for the American certifications’, says Vincent Jentjens, Chairman of SECO-Institute.
Role-based
SECO-Institute differentiates itself on the Cyber Security Market because of the unique role-based
certification focus. This means that the SECO-Institute certification process is developed to train up
to a specific position or role within an organisation. SECO-Institute certified professionals are able to
put the acquired knowledge into practice straight away. ‘In this market, there are a lot of providers
offering a quick way to get certified but that will give you the theoretical knowledge but not the
required skills to put the knowledge into practice’ explains Vincent Jentjens in a recent interview
with Global Knowledge. ‘With our focus on offering both the required knowledge and skills in our
course ware, SECO-Institute distinguishes her self as a leading European organisation on a
predominantly American Cyber Security market.
Global Knowledge the Netherlands will be offering 6 tracks of the SECO-Institute portfolio. Each
track will educate the professional for a specific job or position. The emphasis on educating
professionals for a specific job or position, is a distinguishing factor of the SECO-Institute,
according to Global Knowledge Business Development Manager Dick Goettsch. ‘During the
training developed by SECO-Institute, the student learns how to put the theory into practice. With
the acquired knowledge and skills, the student is very well prepared for his current or aspired job
or role.’
