CYBER Training
Curricula in forensics, technologies, intelligence, and tools/techniques are offered at three skill levels: core (basic), intermediate, and advanced.

ACCESSING CTA TRAINING — Students may apply for training via the Academy’s Cyber Learning Management Environment (CLME) portal, accessible on the internet at https://www.dcita.edu. This website is the student’s primary means of discovering and accessing all CTA content and courses.


CYBERCAST WEBINARS — Through the CLME, CTA routinely provides CyberCasts, which are prerecorded webinars that feature instructors presenting current cyber topics, such as new software demonstrations, cutting-edge techniques, and emerging threats and technologies. These CyberCasts are available to all personnel with CLME accounts at no additional cost.

ACCREDITATION — The CTA is accredited by the Council on Occupational Education (COE), the International Association for Continuing Education and Training (IACET), the Computing Technology Industry Association (CompTIA), and the American Council on Education (ACE). Select CTA courses confer college credits to students, while CyberCasts and other learning materials provide students with Continuing Education Units (CEUs) used to meet certification requirements set forth in DoD Directive 8140.01, “Cyberspace Workforce Management”.
