CCSK
The Certificate of Cloud Security Knowledge (CCSK) is the industry’s
first user certification for secure cloud computing. The CCSK is
designed to ensure that professionals with responsibility for cloud
computing have the awareness of the security threats and best
practices for securing the cloud.
CloudSchool
A Cloud School Certified Cloud Technology Professional has
demonstrated competency in fundamental cloud technology. This
certification is an interim accreditation for IT professionals pursuing
more specialized certification tracks.
The more advanced Certified Cloud Architect program assesses
proficiency in the technology architecture that underlies cloud
platforms and cloud-based IT resources and solutions. It
demonstrates mastery of the hands-on application of design
patterns, principles, and practices used to engineer and evolve
cloud environments.
CompTIA & Certified Cloud Technology
Associate
The CompTIA Cloud Essentials certification validates knowledge
and understanding of the main cloud computing principles and
concepts. Certified professionals have demonstrated an
understanding of what cloud computing means from a business and
technical perspective, as well as what is involved in moving to and
governing the cloud. This program has been superseded by the
Cloud Credential Council’s Certified Cloud Technology Associate
Program.
CompTIA Cloud+ certification certifies that the candidate has the
knowledge and skills required to understand standard Cloud
terminologies/methodologies, is able to implement, maintain, and
deliver cloud technologies and infrastructures, and understands
aspects of IT security and use of industry best practices related to
cloud implementations and the application of virtualization.

Confidence-Based Learning Design Objectives
! Enhance your understanding of cloud best practices
! Learn at your own pace.
! Track your level of understanding
! Track your confidence level
! Leverage proven methods that enhance retention.
! Gain a certification of your choice
! Align learning modules to your role
Classroom training is not sufficient
While many certification providers focus on classroom training only,
we support learning beyond the classroom. The
http://techequity.training platform uses an innovative “confidence-
based” learning methodology to enhance understanding and
retention.
Confidence-Based Learning
The confidence-based learning methodology is a culmination of
more than 70 years of academic, commercial, and governmental
research into the connection between confidence, correctness,
retention, and learning. The first academic paper on the subject was
written in 1932 and asserted that measuring confidence and
knowledge was a better predictor of performance than measuring
knowledge alone, which can be prone to guesswork.
The online platform harnesses a range of
tools and capabilities to enhance
understanding and retention
The 6-in-1 program is designed by
experts with the objective of developing
professionals who are uninformed into
confident cloud practitioners capable of
taking smart actions.

Confidence-Based Learning Assessment
With confidence-based learning, the participant is presented with a
concept and their feedback is requested. The assessment can be in
the form of a statement, a question with multiple options or other
more complex assessments such as matching questions.
In providing a response, the participant specifies their confidence
level. To score the maximum points, the participant needs to be
correct as well as very confident. A penalty is applied where the
participant demonstrates a lack of confidence when knowledgeable.
An even greater penalty is applied where confidence is
demonstrated without competence.
Confidence Learning Report
Overtime, confidence based learning not only builds knowledge; it
enhances retention and develops professionals who are able to take
smart action through mastery of the subject.
