Who It’s For

Why Do This Course

Find Out If the Work Suits You

Security work looks great from outside and suits a certain head. Twenty hours in a lab tells you which you are.

Learn It by Doing It

You build the lab, then break into it. Nothing here is watched from a distance.

Point Yourself at OSCP

One lab is set up for OSCP preparation. If certification is the plan, this shows you the ground.

Where The Skills Fit

Where These Skills Could Take You

Testing work sits inside security teams, software houses and consultancies. The work is easy to picture: given a system, given permission, and told to find the way in.

Ethical Hacker (Penetration Tester)

Paid to break into systems before anyone else does.

Vulnerability Assessment Analyst

Scanning and ranking the holes across a network.

Application Security Tester

Probing web and mobile apps for weak points.

Roles where these skills are useful, not promised outcomes. Every role is different, and most in this field want certification, IT experience or both.

Why This One

What Makes It Different

Three things carry this bundle: your own lab, guided attacks, and a short honest length.

01
You Build the Lab

The bundle starts by setting up a virtual lab on Kali Linux. Everything after that runs inside a space you made.

02
Attacks, Start to Finish

A full walkthrough takes SQL injection through to a shell. You watch how one small hole opens a whole system.

03
Short by Design

Twenty hours, not twenty weeks. It is a look at the work rather than a long commitment.

The Credentials

What You Walk Away With

Professional Development

Industry Backing

IARC, ICOES and the CPD Standards Office all back the bundle. Those are international bodies for study of this kind.

A Lab You Keep Using

The environment you build does not end with the course. It stays as a place to practise.

Good to Know

Common Questions

Do I need experience to start?

You will get further with some IT footing behind you. The bundle sets up virtual machines and works at a command line from the first lab. Comfort with a computer beyond everyday use helps a lot.

How long does it take?

About 20 study hours. It is self-paced, so a keen week gets it done.

What does it cost?

From $29 a week on a payment plan, with no deposit and no credit check. Weekly, fortnightly and monthly all work, or pay upfront.

How is the course assessed?

No exams, ever. You build the labs and follow the walkthrough.

Will this get me a security job?

It gives you something most applicants lack: a lab you built and an attack you ran end to end. Security teams also want certification, IT experience, or both, and this bundle is not a certification. Where it earns its keep is testing the interest before you spend on OSCP.

Is any of this legal?

Everything happens inside virtual machines on your own computer. You build the targets, so you own them. Testing anyone else's system needs their written permission, every time.

What kind of recognition does it carry?

IARC, ICOES and the CPD Standards Office back the bundle, and you earn CPD points for it. That is recognition for professional development. It is not a nationally recognised credential under the Australian Qualifications Framework, and the college is not an RTO. As a look at the work before a certification path, that is the job it does.

What if I change my mind?

There is a 10-day money back guarantee. Say so inside that window.
