Thinking about a move into cyber security? This course puts you in a hacking lab from the start. You build your own practice targets, scan them, break in, and learn how attackers work so you can lock them out.
You do not need a tech background. The course is built for all skill levels and starts by helping you set up your own lab. From there you learn how systems get broken into, and how to stop it.
Already in IT? Learn to find weak spots before someone else does, with hands-on practice in scanning, exploits and network security. You finish with CPD points employers recognise and a Credly digital badge.
Lessons are video modules you can start anytime, at your own pace. Assessments can be retaken as many times as you need, and marking comes back within one business day.
Five modules, from building your lab to a full capture-the-flag walkthrough.
Here is what stands out in this course.
You set up a virtual lab with Kali Linux and VirtualBox, and run more machines inside it. That gives you a safe place to try things without touching anyone's live system.
You install EVM:1 from VulnHub, a beginner-level machine built with weak spots on purpose. You scan it, pull user names out of it, then work through exploits and privilege escalation.
The last module walks you through a SQL injection to shell attack, from setting up the lab to getting access. You also set up an INFOSEC: Prep OSCP lab and get a walkthrough of the tool.
You get a real-world mentor with industry experience, tutor help by email or phone Monday to Friday, and live chat seven days a week.
