RapidAscent Cybersecurity Apprenticeship Pathway
Sponsored by RapidAscent · Information Security Engineers
What families should know
A national cybersecurity training and registered-sponsor pathway with current intake; training can cost tuition, and a paid apprenticeship occurs only if a hiring partner selects the learner.
Decision facts
What we could verify
Registration confirms a program relationship. It does not, by itself, confirm that an employer is currently accepting apprentices.
- Service area
- National online training pathway; paid apprenticeship and employer availability vary.
- Listed sponsor location
- CA This is the sponsor listing, not necessarily the work site.
- Delivery mode
- online
- Who the verified information describes
- Career starters, career changers, veterans, and transitioning service members exploring cybersecurity or IT training.
- Eligibility
-
- Create an account and complete the JumpStart readiness steps
- Meet with a program advisor before selecting a paid training track
- Compete for employer selection separately if seeking a paid registered apprenticeship
- Compensation
- Training is not paid employment. A learner may be paid only if selected into an apprenticeship by a hiring partner; no placement is guaranteed.
- Duration
- New-career training is described as 17 weeks full time or 23 weeks part time; any employer apprenticeship term is separate and varies.
- Credential
- Cybersecurity training includes Security+ or CySA+ preparation and vouchers depending on the track; employer apprenticeship credentials vary.
Next action
What happens next
Start with the free JumpStart intake, review the approximately $18,000 full training-path cost with an advisor, and confirm any employer apprenticeship before enrolling.
Fit and tradeoffs
Questions to resolve before applying
- The current action is a training intake, not a paid apprenticeship application.
- The full three-course pathway is approximately $18,000 unless funding or an employer arrangement applies.
- Employer selection, pay, and placement are competitive and not guaranteed.
