Skills I already qualify for have been italicized and underlined.

Most of the requirements will be earned through working with specific systems. Each system is set up differently, and therefore there are several tasks I will not be able to individually prepare for, but will understand how to work through, given basic training.

For proving problem solving, and analytical skills, any class with Lab stations, like Digital Forensics, gave plenty of practice.

Basic Cybersecurity Programming and Networking will give me the skills for network scans, and network documentation.

Cybersecurity Techniques and Operations will help me in understanding the best tools to use, and skills to hone, in efforts of bettering security.

Cybersecurity Strategy and Policy will buff up my knowledge of procedures and reporting/auditing needs.

Cybersecurity Fundamentals will ease me into the day to day use of all security software, networks and the like. It will give me skills which in the future from which I will be able to build.

Cyber Defense Fundamentals will help in identifying vulnerabilities and teach how to minimize impacts of potential threats.

I believe I could qualify for the 3DEO Security job within a year. The others, however, would require graduating, and also about a year of laying groundwork, showing my skills. Or, if I’m very lucky, the internship would qualify me with that as well.
