⚡️ Start your IT/Cyber Career — Real Environment — No Exp Req. ⚡️ https://skool.com/cyber-range ——— I built a certification tier list using actual data — not opinions, not Reddit consensus, not a training company's funnel. I took 156 people who got hired out of the Cyber Range and ranked every cert by one metric: how often it actually showed up on the resumes of people who broke into IT and cybersecurity. We go from F tier all the way to S tier, including which cert I'd call a trap, why the certs everyone argues about online barely appear on real hired resumes, and what the boring, cheap, repeated formula actually looks like. Important note: a low tier doesn't mean a bad cert — it just means people breaking in weren't the ones holding it. ——— 0:00 Intro
