Center for Workforce Readiness

Academic Policies

Commitment to Diversity and Inclusion

At Ready Force Cyber, we believe in fostering a learning environment that is inclusive and welcoming to all. We are committed to providing equal opportunities for everyone, regardless of race, color, national origin, ethnic background, ancestry, sex, disability, age, marital status, sexual orientation, veteran's status, or religion. This commitment aligns with our adherence to Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (revised 1992), Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, and the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990.


Our Programs and You

Ready Force Cyber offers a variety of credited, non-credited and non-degree training programs designed to equip you with the skills you need to advance your cybersecurity career. 


Grading and Completion

Our part-time, professional development programs utilize a Pass/Fail grading system. To successfully complete a program and receive a "Pass" grade, you'll need to maintain at least 80% attendance and demonstrate satisfactory performance as evaluated by your instructor. This evaluation considers your class participation, project completion, exercise and assignment results, and overall understanding of the presented material.


For other Ready Force Cyber courses or programs, grades are not provided.  Successful completion in these programs is determined by achieving at least 80% attendance.


Certificate of Completion

Upon successful completion of a Ready Force Cyber course or program, you'll receive a Certificate of Training, typically distributed on your last day of class. This certificate serves as a valuable recognition of your accomplishment and acquired skills.


Assessments (Online Students)

Ready Force Cyber utilizes assessments throughout your online course to gauge your participation and track progress. While not mandatory for course completion, these assessments are valuable tools for instructors to assess your understanding and learning. Your instructor will provide detailed information and answer any questions you may have regarding the assessments. Unless otherwise instructed, all assessments will be conveniently available within our Learning Management System (LMS).


Attendance Policy

Maintaining consistent attendance is crucial for your success.  Instructors record daily attendance for all courses, both online and in-person. To successfully complete your program, a minimum attendance of 80% is required.


Missed Classes (In-Person Programs):

If you anticipate missing an in-person class session, it's important to notify both your instructor and program coordinator in advance. This allows them to assist you in making arrangements to catch up on missed material.


Missed Classes (Online Programs):

Life happens!  If you miss an online class session, don't worry!  Recordings will be available within 24 hours after the class concludes and posted on our learning platform.  Viewing the recording will be considered proof of attendance.  Remember, it's your responsibility to ensure you catch up on any materials missed during the live session.


Full-Time Vocational Programs:

Specific attendance requirements may apply to full-time vocational programs.  These details will be clearly documented within your program's Enrollment Agreement.


Leave of Absence Policy

We understand that personal or professional circumstances might necessitate a break from your studies.  Ready Force Cyber works collaboratively with students on a case-by-case basis to accommodate leave of absences, allowing you to resume and complete your program at a later date.  Should you need to request a leave of absence, please submit a written request to info@readyforcecyber.org that clearly outlines the reason for your leave.


Academic Records

Ready Force Cyber understands the importance of transparency and access to your academic records.  Students have the right to review their files, including transcripts for full-time vocational programs and certificates of training for part-time programs.  To request a review or obtain a copy of your transcript or certificate, you can submit an email inquiry to [email address removed].


Tuition and Fees

At Ready Force Cyber, we strive for clear and upfront pricing.  Our programs are individually priced based on factors such as program length, content covered, and materials included. We make every effort to maintain current pricing information readily available on our website at [website address removed].  Please note that program prices are subject to change. However, once registered, you are guaranteed the program price at the time of enrollment, regardless of any future price increases.

In most part-time vocational programs, all associated costs are conveniently bundled into the program price.  Any additional fees for other programs will also be clearly listed on our website.


Cancellation and Refund Policy

At Ready Force Cyber, we understand that situations may arise that necessitate cancelling your enrollment. Our policy is as follows:

  • Full Refund (100%): You will receive a full refund of your registration fees if you notify us of your cancellation at least 14 calendar days prior to the program or exam start date.
  • Rescheduling: Cancellations made after the start date are not eligible for refunds.  However, you may reschedule your enrollment for a currently offered program within 6 months of your original enrollment date. Please note that rescheduling is only permitted twice within this six-month window, and you must notify us immediately if you wish to reschedule within 14 days of the original start date.


How to Cancel

To cancel your enrollment and request a refund (if applicable), please submit a written notification to us by either:

  • Email: info@readyforcecyber.org


Student Conduct

Ready Force Cyber is committed to fostering a professional learning environment that is safe, respectful, and conducive to success for all students and staff. The following outlines our Code of Student Conduct:

  • Respectful Behavior: We expect students to conduct themselves in a manner that does not jeopardize the safety or well-being of others.  This includes refraining from violence, harassment, intimidation, or disruptive behavior.
  • Academic Integrity:  Dishonesty, plagiarism, or any attempt to falsify information is strictly prohibited.
  • Responsible Use of Technology:  Students must adhere to all applicable laws and regulations regarding computer and network usage.  Sharing login information or using Ready Force Cyber resources for unauthorized purposes is not permitted.
  • Professional Conduct:  Students are expected to maintain a professional demeanor during class hours, including muting cell phones and refraining from activities that may disrupt the learning environment. Children and non-students are not allowed in the classroom setting.


Consequences of Code Violations

Ready Force Cyber reserves the right to impose disciplinary actions for violations of the Code of Student Conduct. These actions may include:

  • Disciplinary Reprimand:  A formal warning for minor violations.
  • Disciplinary Probation:  A period of heightened scrutiny, with additional violations potentially leading to suspension or expulsion.
  • Disciplinary Suspension:  Temporary restriction from attending classes or accessing Ready Force Cyber facilities.  Suspended students forfeit all rights to refunds.
  • Disciplinary Expulsion:  Permanent termination of enrollment and access to Ready Force Cyber facilities.  Expelled students forfeit all rights to refunds.


Maintaining a Positive Learning Environment

Ready Force Cyber strives to provide a positive and productive learning experience for all.  We encourage students to familiarize themselves with this Code of Conduct and act accordingly.  Should you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to contact us.
