DoD and Navy IT Training | IT Dojo

Instructor-led IT certification and skills training for DoD personnel, Navy commands, and defense contractors. Cybersecurity, RMF, cloud, networking, and more — Hampton Roads and National Capital Region.

Instructor-Led IT Training for DoD, Navy, and Defense Contractors

IT Dojo is a Virginia Beach-based IT training company purpose-built for the Department of Defense, Navy, and defense contractor workforce. Since our founding, we have delivered cybersecurity certification courses, Risk Management Framework training, cloud and networking courses, and professional skills programs to thousands of active duty service members, government civilians, and contractor personnel across Hampton Roads and the National Capital Region. We are not a generalist training marketplace — every course we offer is designed and delivered with the federal and military audience in mind.

Our instructors are practitioners with real DoD backgrounds. Our scheduling is built around operational tempo. And our course content is calibrated to the specific compliance frameworks, acquisition requirements, and mission environments that DoD personnel actually work in. Whether your team needs CompTIA Security+ for DoD 8140 baseline compliance, CISSP preparation for IAM Level III elevation, RMF training for system authorization, or hands-on DevSecOps skills for a software acquisition program, IT Dojo can deliver it — live online or on-site at your facility.

IT Dojo is reachable at (757) 256-0222 and is located in Virginia Beach, VA 23451.

DoD 8140 and DoD 8570 Workforce Compliance Training

The DoD Cyber Workforce Framework (DCWF) under DoDI 8140.01 requires all personnel in designated cyber positions to hold qualifying certifications for their work role. IT Dojo offers the complete range of 8140-qualifying certifications across all workforce element categories:

  • Information Assurance Technical (IAT) I–III: CompTIA Security+, CySA+, CASP+, CISSP
  • Information Assurance Management (IAM) I–III: Security+, CISM, CISSP, GSLC
  • Information Assurance System Architecture and Engineering (IASAE): CISSP, CISSP-ISSAP, CISSP-ISSEP, CASP+
  • CSSP Analyst and Incident Responder: CySA+, CEH, ECIH
  • CSSP Infrastructure Support: Security+, CySA+, CASP+
  • Cloud roles: CCSP, AWS Security Specialty, AZ-500

We can build a customized 8140 compliance roadmap for your command or contractor workforce, identifying the most efficient path from current certifications to full DCWF coverage. Contact us for a workforce assessment.

Risk Management Framework (RMF) Training for DoD

IT Dojo delivers RMF training aligned to DoDI 8510.01 and NIST SP 800-37 Rev 2. Our courses address the full authorization lifecycle — from system categorization through security control selection, implementation, assessment, authorization, and continuous monitoring — and are specifically tailored for DoD ISSOs, ISSMs, SCA representatives, and Authorizing Officials. We cover the DoD Assessment and Authorization process, eMASS workflow, and the control overlays unique to defense environments. RMF courses are available for Hampton Roads commands and National Capital Region agencies and contractors including DISA, CYBERCOM, and intelligence community programs.
