Released

Washington – The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) announced the launch of CISA Learning, a learning management system that will modernize training and education for its employees and key stakeholders. This transformative platform is a critical component of CISA's ongoing efforts to streamline and enhance its enterprise learning environment, ensuring the same training available to CISA personnel is also available free of charge to the nation’s veterans and partners from federal, state, local, tribal, and territorial levels of government. CISA Learning replaces the Federal Virtual Training Environment (FedVTE). Courses and functionalities from FedVTE will be fully transitioned to CISA Learning, ensuring that users continue to have uninterrupted access to critical training content.

“CISA Learning will provide an easy to navigate, modernized learning management system, building on the existing tools and resources that have been instrumental in providing free cybersecurity training to government employees, contractors, and U.S. veterans.” said CISA Chief People Officer Dr. Elizabeth Kolmstetter.  “This is part of CISA’s commitment to helping to train and grow the nation’s cybersecurity workforce to better protect the critical infrastructure Americans rely on every day.” 

Enhanced Capabilities to Support Growth  

CISA Learning is designed to meet the agency’s evolving needs. It will offer a range of scalable training solutions, including:  

  • Classroom-Based Courses 
  • Virtual Instructor-Led Training 
  • Self-Paced Online Modules 

With these features, CISA Learning will provide a more adaptable and engaging training experience, enabling users to access courses at their convenience, whether from an office, at home, or in the field.  

Centralized Learning Hub for Streamlined Education  

As CISA transitions to this centralized platform, all training programs will now be housed under one unified system, reducing the need to use multiple platforms. This will foster a more seamless and holistic user experience. CISA Learning will enable:  

  • Improved Student Administration: Simplified processes for course enrollment, tracking, and reporting. 
  • Enhanced Reporting Capabilities: Detailed insights into course completion and student progress, enabling data-driven decisions for training program development. 

Transition from FedVTE to CISA Learning  

FedVTE users, including personnel from the federal government, SLTT agencies, and veterans, will benefit from a more robust and scalable platform that meets modern cybersecurity challenges. The Office of the Chief People Officer’s Training and Education branch, in partnership with the Office of Personnel Management’s (OPM) USA Learning platform, will lead this transition, ensuring a smooth shift to the new system.  

 A New Era for CISA Training  

CISA Learning represents a significant milestone in the agency's workforce and stakeholder development, as it prepares to meet the demands of an ever-changing cybersecurity landscape. The new LMS will be the cornerstone of CISA’s strategy to maintain its position as a leader in cybersecurity education and training.
