Issue 1. 2016 17 Train Your Cyber Brain with Online Certifications from the SBS Institute T he SBS Institute and the Utah Bankers Association is excited to announce a few changes to the certification program. The revamped program includes: five new certifications, better aligned certification titles, the implementation of clear learning paths, and the separation of core and specialized certifications. These changes are designed to provide more options and in- creased value to students by providing a clear learning path, designating where to start their cyber education journey and what to do next. SBS Institute learning paths are broken into three groups: Exec- utive, Manager, and Technical. Each learning path contains a list of applicable job titles, making it very clear which courses are for each student based on their job. Each learning path also includes one core certification and a variety of specialized certifications. A core certification is not a pre-requisite of a specialized certifi- cation, but is rather a natural starting point within the learning path. We hope you take the time to learn more about the recent improvements to the SBS Institute.
