Personnel performing information assurance functions must obtain and carry an approved certification required for their position category or specialty and level. Certifications are required for Technical, Management, CND, and IASAE classifications.
The Federal Cybersecurity Workforce Assessment Act, requires all federal agencies to develop a cyber workforce assessment program for Cybersecurity Education (NICE) standard, the basis for both DoD Instruction 8140 and the Federal Cybersecurity Workforce Assessment Act signed into law.

Eric is proficient on all aspects in cybersecurity. I was a student of his program “Pass on the First Attempt” where he teaches key concepts and help you planning your way up from start to finish. Huge milestone achieved now I am CEH master! 100% recommend him!

I had the privilege of being guided through the intricate world of Certified Ethical Hacking (CEH) by Eric Reed. If I were to sum up my experience in a few words, it would be “knowledgeable,” “approachable,” and “incredibly effective.”

His industry knowledge and practical experience are up-to-date, making him an excellent resource for those seeking to enter the cybersecurity field.

Eric is an AWESOME instructor! His teaching style is extremely engaging and his students benefit from his wealth of knowledge and experience. He taught my CEH class which I passed, and we also hired him to teach a private Security+ class for personnel who needed to comply with requirements in a recently awarded contract. Eric was awesome to work with and we had an excellent pass rate!

Extremely professional and motivating, that is what comes to mind if I describe Eric Reed. He is a skilled cyber security instructor and mentor. Eric and I met when I was preparing to write my Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH) exam. I was still procrastinating and struggling to find a balance between work and studying. That was a small problem for him. With his years of experience in the industry and vast skills as a trainer, he helped guide me to certification. When exam time came, I passed with flying colors. Eric is the best at what he does… Helping numerous cybersecurity professionals achieve their certifications. It is a pleasure to be mentored by him. Thank you, Eric!

Eric has proven to me personally he is a very highly skilled instructor and will go the extra mile to ensure your success. Anyone presently working toward, or considering, obtaining an EC-Council Certified Ethical Hacker Certification should definitely work with Eric. Eric will provide necessary guidance and support to get through an extensive and highly technical Curriculum, then study with purpose to pass both the CEH and CEH Practical exams, which are quite thorough tests and the certifications are not that easily attained. Working with Eric I was able to attain both the CEH and CEH Practical Certifications, attaining a CEH Master Designation. I am truly grateful for time Eric spent with me personally to ensure my success and expand my skillset in this area.

Ever since I was in University, I’ve wanted to be a Certified Ethical Hacker. Who knew that this would only happen this year. Thanks to Mr. Eric Reed’s on-point exam prep material, I am now a CEH Master with an average score of 88% from both exams. I, therefore recommend Mr. Eric Reed as the go-to for all your EC-Council Certification needs; CEH(ANSI), CEH(Practical), CHFI, CND, and many more. Thanks again, Mr. Reed. On to the next Certification.

I just completed the CEH online training and successfully passed the exam! Eric’s delivery of the online training was very good, each module has a lecture (15~60 minutes) followed by very realistic hands on labs. In terms of level of effort 1 to 4 HRS/Module depending on your past experience etc. What really impressed me – as I was getting close to writing the exam, I reached out to Eric for some assistance. Eric, coached me on what area’s to focus on & was a great asset for my examination preparation – TY Eric!
Duane Parker
Eric Reed is an superb instructor. I have taken five EC council classes with him over the past several years. He is on point and very motivated to make sure the student is picking up the subject at hand. Eric’s ability to instruct cybersecurity is amazing and he takes passion in his instruction and working with every student to make sure they are successful. I recommend Eric Reed 100%. As I continue further education and cyber security he will be my instructor of choice. Thanks for your guidance, motivation and being available for those crazy questions.
Collin Vandersommen
I took the Certified Ethical Hacker course through Applied Technology Academy this past week and Eric was my instructor. He kept us actively engaged and did a fantastic job presenting the material in a way that was easy to understand. He focused heavily on the exam objectives to ensure that we were prepared and had all the tools necessary to succeed. I hope to be able to take his ECSA or CISSP in the near future!
James York
I have taken three courses with Eric: CEH-Certified Ethical Hacker, ECSA-EC-Council Certified Security Analyst, and now preparing for CISSP-Certified Informational Security Professional. In all three courses, he has helped me pass each one and confidence to pass the last exam. Eric provides the keys to succeed not only for preparing for the exams but also provides the correct blend of methodology and practical application. All you need to do is be there and put forth the effort and it can happen. Even after the class is completed he is there to help. If you are looking learn and put in the time Eric will help you succeed.
Jason W. Sharp
I had the great pleasure of attending a virtual EC-Council Incident Handler boot camp instructed by Eric after spending several weeks with a 1000+ page book and sitting the exam (failing twice).
I was fortunate enough to see an unrelated post Eric posted on Linked In and reached out to contact him. He quickly accepted the invite and offered immediately to connect via phone to listen to the problem and offered timely, accurate advice on the material and talked about the instructional system design process used to develop exams (agnostic of any exam).
This added time taken to assist a learner in need paid HUGE dividends as I finally cleared the hurdle that was ECIH.
Michel Pierre
