DHS used a Two-Phase evaluation process. Phase 1 was an advisory down-select based on Factor 1 – Experience, Staffing, and Approach Questions. Phase 2 was based on Factor 2 – Syllabus Review.  For each phase the government assigned a confidence rating after a thorough vetting of submissions.

"CWI is pleased in the confidence DHS has shown in our abilities as evidenced by the award of this contract," said Linda Montgomery, CWI President. "CWI will deliver high-quality competency-based training to meet the rigorous standards of CISA." Montgomery adds, "Our nation's IT infrastructure is under constant threat of attack-our best defense is a skilled competent cybersecurity workforce.  This cybersecurity training will prepare graduates to actively participate in this defense and have a multiplier impact by their influence on co-workers."

This program delivers the hands-on training, assessments, and quantifiable outcomes to successfully reskill and upskill federal employees to perform the critical cyber defense roles necessary to keep our country safe.
