FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between the two tracks?
The Foundations Track is for true beginners. It includes cybersecurity fundamentals, web application pen testing, labs, a final exam, and career coaching. The Fast-Track is for people who already know the basics and want to skip fundamentals and move straight into hands-on web application security. It does not include coaching, which can be added for $600.
When do I get access to the course and labs?
You get access to your student library as soon as you enroll. Course content unlocks on your cohort start date, not at purchase. For Web Application Penetration Testing: Beginner to Job Ready, lab access opens the day that course begins on the cohort schedule, so you can start practicing right away.
How do the payment plans work?
Pay in full — $7,000 for Foundations, $5,000 for Fast-Track — or spread the cost with a monthly plan matched to your cohort length (6 months for Foundations, 4 months for Fast-Track). Buy-now-pay-later through Klarna is also available at checkout where eligible.
Do I need cybersecurity experience to start?
No. The Foundations Track builds the networking, Linux, Windows, and security fundamentals you need before moving into hands-on web application testing. If you already have basic IT or security knowledge and want the fastest route to job-ready skills, the Fast-Track skips the fundamentals.
Can I add career coaching to the Fast-Track?
Yes. The Career Coaching Pack is a $600 add-on for the Fast-Track, including six sessions covering resume and LinkedIn, interview prep, mock debriefs, and a certification roadmap, delivered over 2 to 3 months. Career coaching is already included in the Foundations Track at no extra cost.
What will I learn in the Fast-Track?
The Fast-Track covers the full web application penetration testing process, from setup and reconnaissance through attack surface mapping, common web vulnerabilities, exploitation, and professional security reporting.
Is the training hands-on?
Yes. The Cybersecurity Fundamentals course includes a hands-on Wireshark project. Additionally, in the Web Application Penetration Testing: Beginner to Job Ready course, you spin up your own OWASP Juice Shop lab and practice techniques against a real target.
Does the program cover AI in cybersecurity?
Yes, from both directions. The AI for Cybersecurity mini course covers agentic AI fundamentals, how to use AI agents to automate penetration testing work, and responsible AI use. The Web Application Penetration Testing course includes a module on AI attacks, with a demo on testing AI chatbots for vulnerabilities.
