qSkills™ receives ATO accreditation for the Certified Cybersecurity Operations Analyst (CCOA)

qSkills™ is now officially accredited as an Accredited Training Organisation (ATO) for the Certified Cybersecurity Operations Analyst (CCOA). This places us among the first training providers in Germany to receive this distinction from APMG International. Another reason to celebrate: our long-standing trainer and partner Björn Trappe from Laokoon SecurITy has also been accredited by APMG International as an official CCOA trainer. Together, we are laying the foundation for high-quality, practice-oriented training in the field of modern cybersecurity operations.

Cybersecurity operations continue to gain importance

Companies today face a dual challenge: cyberattacks are becoming increasingly complex and professional, while regulatory requirements and the demand for qualified specialists are also rising. There is a growing need for experts who can not only detect security incidents but also analyze, prioritize, and respond to them effectively. This is exactly where the Certified Cybersecurity Operations Analyst (CCOA) comes in. Developed by ISACA™, this certification provides practical skills for modern Security Operations Centers (SOC), threat detection, incident response, and the analysis of real cyberattacks.

High quality standards

Accreditation as an Accredited Training Organisation is subject to extensive quality requirements. As part of a comprehensive assessment by APMG International, factors such as management processes, training materials, compliance with the official syllabus, and the professional qualifications of trainers are evaluated. Successful accreditation confirms our commitment to delivering training at the highest quality level and optimally preparing participants for the demands of modern cybersecurity operations.

Hands-on learning with experienced experts

For many years, qSkills™ has focused on practice-oriented training with experienced instructors from IT and cybersecurity. Together with our partner Laokoon SecurITy, we not only provide theoretical knowledge but also prepare participants specifically for real-world challenges in security operations. We look forward to supporting companies and IT security professionals with the official CCOA training program on their path to greater cyber resilience.
