You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

I'm Security+ certified and studied online, along with a certified book. CompTIA has on their website a list of certified training vendors and that includes online ones. But to be honest last time I checked (few years ago) there weren't many. An I took training through a non-certfied trainer (I'm pretty sure anyhow)... Ironically it was a company though that had a relationship with CompTIA.
Links are below "Skillsoft" is the trainer. Also have CompTIA link.
This is a pretty specific answer to a pretty ambiguous question but I think the principles hold true for whatever you want to do. If its an ISC^2 certification then check their site. You want to go with something that is approved... Because any guy with $5 can start a website... An these classes aren't cheap... I think if its a simple cert like Security+ self training is do-able and go back an listen to some podcasts (like Security Now) for the hard stuff like encryption. Hope that helps.
