Skillsoft Cisco and MS Training - Army Knowledge Online

I wanted to remind my fellow TE members serving in the military that AKO has a wide assortment of free Skillsoft training. Every vendor you can think of is listed and the training is free. I have been using the CCNA Security modules. There is interactive testing after each training module.

Go to AKO main page --> My Education --> Army E-Learning --> Skillsoft Skillport --> Catalog --> IT Professional Certifications --> Cisco, Microsoft, etc...

This training cost thousands in the private sector and is free to military. I plan on utilizing this all the way to CCNP and CCNP Security modules. Always nice to to have a visual and audio aid in the learning process.

This training is also "free" to alumni from Western Governors University and I am using Skillsoft for my 35 hour contact hours for PMP.

(I put "free" in parenthesis because my tuition did pay for Skillsoft as a student. However the access does not go away when one completes a program at WGU.) The cost of PMP contact hours could have been a couple of hundred or a couple of thousand...so this was such a sweet benefit to me now that I'm ready for PMP certification.

Thank you for your service.

Don't forget free access to Safari Books online also, with some download tokens thrown in for good measure.

This is true. I have Safari access through the Navy. Great resource. Also gives tokens to download the books (though I've never utilized it).

Agreed, I'm using US Army Skillport to prepare for CISSP.
