For decision-makers
Plan your team’s training like the numbers are real
Because here, they are. Every figure traces to a vendor’s official page, no provider paid for placement here, and no team total is ever invented for you. A provider can pay us to be introduced to someone who asks for an introduction; no provider can pay to change a number or a recommendation on these pages. Pick the seat you sit in:
L&D / training manager
Defensible, vendor-neutral cert plans and per-seat costs across your IT functions.
IT manager
The start-here → advancement ladder per seat — and what renewals cost the team in years two and three.
IT director
A multi-team certification strategy you can defend in the budget meeting.
CISO / security leader
DoD 8140 baseline coverage and an honest analyst ladder for the SOC bench.
CTO / CIO
Where certifications genuinely move capability — and where they are theater.
Government / defense workforce officer
Approved-baseline mapping per work role, with confirm-at-source discipline throughout.
Other seats
If a different seat is the one you sit in
The costs and the evidence are the same across these; what changes is the decision each one is making. Pick the closer fit:
How RoleMath stays independent
No training provider paid for anything on this page, and none can. RoleMath earns nothing today; the intended model is a fee when you ask us to source training, which is a separate step you have to request and which never changes a figure or a recommendation here. Terms are published on How we make money before anything activates.
If you want help sourcing it
Ask us to help you source it
Everything above is free to read and stands on its own. If you have decided you want training for a team and would rather not work through provider sites one at a time, send us what you need and we will point you at options that fit. The link below opens your own email with the questions already laid out — fill in what you know, delete what you don’t.

Sending that email asks us to reply — nothing more. Your details go to no training provider from it. If a provider introduction turns out to be the useful next step, we will tell you which providers and why, and it only happens if you say yes to those specific ones. RoleMath earns nothing from any provider as of July 2026; the intended model is a fee for an introduction you ask for, and it cannot change a price, a comparison or a recommendation on this site. How that works is set out on How we make money.
