Security program management: governance, risk, compliance, audits

Purchase Options (8)

CompTIA mixes and matches a handful of building blocks — CertMaster Learn (the course), CertMaster Labs (hands-on practice), CertMaster Practice (a final readiness check), CertMaster Study (a textbook-style guide), CertMaster Perform (Learn + Labs combined), and the exam Voucher itself — into the packages below. Buy Now takes you to secure Stripe checkout; CRS training ops will redeem your CompTIA license and email you within 1 business day.

CertMaster Study

A traditional, fully illustrated study guide (eBook and print) — reference-style content for learners who prefer a textbook to interactive eLearning.

$120

R 1 802

CertMaster Labs

Hands-on virtual lab environments mapped directly to exam objectives — practice by doing rather than reading. Sold on its own for learners who already have the theory and want practical repetition, or bundled with CertMaster Learn.

$161

R 2 410

CertMaster Practice

An adaptive practice-question engine that confirms strong areas and flags weak ones. This is a final readiness check used after Learn and/or Labs, not a way to learn new material.

$169

R 2 531

Voucher

The exam booking code only — pays for and books your exam attempt at a testing center or online proctor. Includes no training content.

$355

R 5 326

Voucher + Retake Assurance

The same exam voucher, plus one free retake if you don't pass on your first attempt (valid for roughly one year from purchase). Includes no training content.

$468

R 7 027

CertMaster Learn

The self-paced eLearning course — readings, instructional videos, quizzes, flashcards, and a guided study plan covering every exam objective. This is what teaches the material; it does not include hands-on labs or the exam itself.

$485

R 7 270

CertMaster Learn, Labs Bundle

CertMaster Learn and CertMaster Labs bundled together — structured eLearning plus hands-on practice, without an exam voucher.

$582

R 8 728
