It's a simple question, but there can be multiple answers based on your situation and the options you choose. You may qualify for discounts that can decrease the cost, and you may want to consider additional learning and trainings that can change the bottom line as well. Read on to find out more.
To gain access to the certification exam, you’ll need to buy an exam voucher. A voucher represents a unique code that you can buy at the CompTIA Store and use to take your test at a Pearson VUE testing center. If a voucher is all you need, then see the purchase options below. Learn more information about the exam on the CompTIA CySA+ product page and details on how to buy a voucher on our testing pages. If you’re ready to buy, head over to the store.
If you don’t pass the exam, you’ll need to purchase another voucher to take another test. That’s why we recommend that you go into your exam well prepared to minimize the chance of not passing the test and having to purchase an additional voucher.

The cost of classroom training depends on your choice and can range from a few hundred to several thousands of dollars. You can find classroom training in your area on your classroom training page.
