You need to prove your understanding, against a formal, industry recognised benchmark. Then you can drop all of the courses from your resume.

Naturally, I don’t know what your resume looks like, but I would broadly recommend to tone down the “physical” security aspect and focus on the project management skills, as these are generic skills. That is not to belittle the skills you have gained, but rather to acknowledge that you are looking to change your target role, to cyber security (if I have not misinterpreted you).

Hope that helps and best of luck.
Thank you sir for the input. I feel like cyber security is the job to have because if we have internet, there will always be someone out there trying to do bad shit that needs to be protected against.

I have looked into the CompTIA + cert and a few others. I know it's a lengthy process to study and pass. I do feel like it's been a full time job looking for a full time job to be honest.

What is your email? Can I send my resume over to you for a quick once over and provide any changes?
