Our verdict
Our verdict8.9/10Dion Training is a certification-prep company best known for CompTIA courses, and its site doubles as a store for discounted exam vouchers.
During our check, CompTIA vouchers were shown at 10% off, for example Security+ at $395.10 instead of $439, alongside complete certification courses priced around $259 to $349, practice exam and performance-based question packs at $29.99, and ITIL course-and-voucher bundles. The company describes itself as an authorized training partner. Because the exam voucher is usually the largest cost of certification, the discount can offset part of the course price. It suits self-directed IT learners who want focused exam prep; those seeking broader hands-on skills may need additional resources.
Best for: IT certification candidates (CompTIA, ITIL) who want a course plus a discounted exam voucher from one store.

Pros & cons
- Discounted official exam vouchers
- Complete courses for CompTIA A+, Security+ and more
- Low-cost practice exam and PBQ packs
- Course plus voucher bundles for ITIL
- Focused on certification prep rather than broader skills
What you’ll learn
Dion Training separates full courses, practice exams, performance-based-question packs, labs, eBooks, and exam vouchers in its store. That separation is useful because each product serves a different preparation need. A candidate who needs foundational instruction should not accidentally buy only a practice pack.
Store listings identify the intended exam by code, including Security+ SY0-701, Network+ N10-009, and separate A+ core products. Use those codes to match training with your planned test. Homepage articles may discuss newer versions, so check the actual product instead of assuming every visible course targets the same release.
Format, schedule and time commitment
Courses are self-paced, but the homepage does not establish one video length or access duration for the entire store. A practice pack, a complete course, and an exam voucher may each have different usable periods. Get those dates for the components in your own plan before paying.
Plan the learning schedule before buying a voucher with an expiration or eligibility restriction that has not been checked. The site links to courses on another marketplace, but access terms on that marketplace should not be assumed identical to direct-store purchases. Confirm the channel, course version, and usable period together if lifetime access is part of the reason for buying.

Accreditation and what the credential is worth
Dion describes itself as an authorized training partner and provides evidence of course completion. Neither that partner status nor a course certificate means you have passed an external CompTIA, ITIL, or other vendor exam. The official credential still depends on the relevant examination process.
An exam voucher provides a purchasing route to the official assessment under its terms; it does not establish that a learner is prepared or that all eligibility conditions are met. Check the intended examination code, region, validity, and any retake option before selecting it. The partner description should also be tied to the relevant product rather than treated as one universal accreditation for every course in the store.
Price, payment plans and refunds
Complete certification courses cost $259-$349, with Security+ listed at $349. Practice packs cost $29.99, and discounted CompTIA vouchers include Security+ at $395.10 versus $439. A refund policy is published on the site; check the terms for the particular course or voucher you intend to buy.
On October 5, 2026, the store advertised 10% off CompTIA vouchers: Security+ was $395.10 rather than $439, and Network+ was $359.10 rather than $399. These were the public amounts shown on that date. Check the selected voucher again before purchase because the offer does not fix future exam pricing.
The Security+ course and voucher are separate listings, so buying the course alone should not be assumed to include official testing. By contrast, some ITIL products explicitly say Course+Voucher. Add the components needed for your chosen route before comparing a total, and read the refund policy separately for digital training and vouchers rather than assuming identical cancellation rights.

Who it’s best for — and who should skip it
Dion works well for a self-directed IT candidate who has chosen an exam and wants focused preparation with an optional discounted voucher. Individual practice packs can also fill a gap after training elsewhere. If you need broader hands-on skills rather than exam-specific instruction, plan for additional resources instead of expecting the certification course to cover everything.
Skip a bundle that duplicates materials you own or targets a different exam release. Someone seeking open-ended software development or infrastructure practice may need a broader platform in addition to examination preparation. The product is strongest when its exact test code and component list match an existing certification plan.
Pros and cons in detail
- Official voucher discounts: The store offers reduced prices on exam access.
- Complete preparation courses: CompTIA A+, Security+, and other certifications have full course options.
- Targeted practice packs: Low-cost exam and performance-based-question packs let you add practice selectively.
- Explicit ITIL bundles: Some products combine the course and voucher.
- A narrow learning purpose: Certification preparation takes priority over broader technical development.
- Limited page access: Rate limits prevented full inspection of some product details during this assessment.
Official voucher discounts are a tangible purchasing advantage, and the separate course, question, and PBQ products allow a buyer to address specific gaps. Clearly labeled ITIL bundles can also simplify comparing a combined training-and-exam purchase with separate components.
The focused catalog is less useful as an all-purpose technical education library. Some targeted pages were rate-limited during research, limiting verification of detailed access and refund terms. That evidence gap does not invalidate the visible store listings, but it means the final decision should use the chosen product’s conditions rather than assume the homepage captures every relevant rule.
How it compares
Whizlabs AWS Solutions Architect Associate (SAA-C03) offers individual practice tests and videos at $13.39 each, labs at $15.40, a sandbox at $29.99, and a $62.97 combined package. More than 30 video hours cover the exam objectives. Elite access is $259 per year; its displayed $21.58 monthly equivalent is not a month-to-month payment. These are lower component prices for the AWS example, but the different exam focus and separate official testing charge prevent a complete direct comparison with Dion.
KodeKloud Pro Subscription focuses on repeated infrastructure practice through self-paced courses and labs. Monthly and annual subscriptions are available, with advertised annual savings up to 21%, although exact current totals did not display on the pricing page examined. An average-order estimate cannot establish the subscription cost. If practical work is the priority rather than pairing a course with a voucher, explore the side-by-side comparison.
For an examination candidate, the fair comparison separates learning materials from the official testing expense. Dion’s voucher price should be compared with another eligible voucher for the same test, while the course should be compared with equivalent instruction and practice. A low-cost question bank elsewhere may supplement a Dion course without replacing it.
The same applies to A+ core products: verify which assessment and training component a listing covers instead of assuming the familiar certification name implies every required component. The catalog’s exact codes are more useful than a broad promise to get certified.

How to enroll

Before payment, verify version, region, voucher validity, retake terms, course access, and refund conditions. Check whether a bundle explicitly includes the voucher rather than inferring inclusion from the course title. Retain the order details and keep external examination scheduling separate from the training purchase.
