Cybersecurity training in Colorado

34 cybersecurity programs with costs, results and funding that can make them free

11 schools offer these cybersecurity programs, and Colorado has approved every one for workforce funding. Each shows its price if you pay yourself and how past students did.

Information security analysts protect an organization's computer networks and systems. Most have a bachelor's degree in a computer field and work experience, though some start with a high school diploma plus industry training and certifications, and many employers prefer certified candidates.¹

In Colorado, 11 of the 34 programs take students without a high school diploma, 12 ask for a diploma or equivalent, 10 ask for earlier courses first and 1 asks for a bachelor's degree.

By kind, the 34 programs here are security certification exam prep (20 programs), cybersecurity certificate or diploma (10 programs), CompTIA series (A+ Network+ Security+, 1 program), cybersecurity (associate degree, 1 program), and 2 more of 2 other kinds.

How to pay for cybersecurity training in Colorado

WIOA funding can pay for cybersecurity training in Colorado

Where the Colorado cybersecurity program numbers come from

Which Colorado cybersecurity programs are on this list?

These are the cybersecurity programs Colorado approved for WIOA funding (public workforce funding under the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act), as reported to the US Department of Labor for program year 2024 (July 2024 to June 2025). Each state keeps its approved programs on an eligible training provider list (ETPL).⁹ The list here covers programs approved as of June 30, 2025. Schools that never applied for approval are missing, so this is a part of what Colorado offers.

How the prices and results of Colorado cybersecurity programs are measured

Prices are tuition and required fees for someone paying without workforce funding, as the school reported them; check the current price with the school. Results describe students who left each program in recent years, so they are no guarantee, and the yearly earnings are the reported quarter times four, an estimate. A program without a "Trained with WIOA funding" line may still take WIOA students. Where a field was left empty or withheld, the page says "Not reported", and "Left out" where a figure was filed but failed one of our checks; nothing is estimated to fill a gap. Where the numbers come from explains each figure in full.

How reliable are the Colorado figures?

The US Department of Labor's own results site lists Colorado among the states with "known data quality concerns".¹⁰ The figures here are shown as the state reported them; check them with the school before you enroll.
