Day Course

EC-Council Certified Secure Programmer (E|CSP) - Overview

EC-Council Certified Secure Programmer lays the basic foundation required by all application developers and development organisations to produce applications with greater stability and posing lesser security risks to the consumer.

The 5 day ECSP certification course is intended for programmers who are responsible for designing and building secure Windows/Web based applications with .NET/Java Framework. It is designed for developers who have C#, C++, Java, PHP, ASP, .NET and SQL development skills.

The distinguishing aspect of ECSP is that unlike vendor or domain specific certifications, it exposes the aspirant to various programming languages from a security perspective. This drives greater appreciation for the platform / architecture / language one specialises on as well as an overview on related ones.

EC-Council Certified Secure Programmer (E|CSP) - Benefits

This course will significantly benefit programmer and developers concerned about the security of their code.

Technical certification is a sound investment in your career - and your organisation. Although certification does not guarantee success, research has shown that it can have a significant impact on:

Morale and confidence
Efficiency and productivity on the job: 85% of managers view certified employees as more productive (Gartner Study)
Career advancement: 70.8% of IT managers view certification as a criteria for promotion (Gartner Study)
Financial rewards

Other accelerated training providers rely heavily on lecture and independent self-testing and study.

Effective technical instruction must be highly varied and interactive to keep attention levels high, promote camaraderie and teamwork between the students and instructor, and solidify knowledge through hands-on learning.

Firebrand Training provides instruction to meet every learning need, including

Intensive group instruction
One-on-one instruction attention
Hands-on labs
Lab partner and group exercises
Question and answer drills
Independent study

This information has been provided as a helpful tool for candidates considering certification. Benefits of certification determined through studies do not guarantee any particular personal successes. Firebrand Training provides a guarantee of obtaining certification at the camp, but does not make any guarantees about personal successes or benefits of obtaining certification.
