I am looking to enroll in the summer 2026. I currently have Sec+ and also work as a SOC analyst, but I was curious how actually hard it is. Keep in mind haven't done any math courses in almost 10 years, but I have a really solid knowledge of Azure-based triaging in Microsoft-based environments and KQL. I am also somewhat familiar with the basics of GRC, mainly with NIST. I do lack a bit of skills when it comes to scripting, coding, and deployments.

I just wanna know if the material is hard?
Is it easy to balance a full-time job and a tight schedule?
Does it require mostly proctored testing for me to have to go to local colleges for every exam?
Are there any tips you recommend for a first-time online college goer?
