This isn't just a basic training program; it is an elite, 12-week intensive journey designed to transform passionate beginners into industry-ready Cybersecurity Professionals. In an era where digital threats are evolving, "basic" knowledge is no longer enough. This batch is engineered on a Hybrid Learning Model, integrating the globally recognized standards of CompTIA Network+ and the legendary EC-Council Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH v12).
Goal: By the end of this 3-month journey, you will not only understand the "What" and "How" of Cyber Security but will be capable of executing full-scale attack chains, identifying vulnerabilities, and providing professional-grade security solutions.
Hybrid Curriculum
Every concept taught through two lenses: Network+ (how it works) and CEH (how to break it). Theory and offensive execution, always together.
Lab Infrastructure
Structured local lab environments using free open-source tools (Kali Linux, Metasploitable, OWASP Juice Shop, VulnHub VMs) with guided setup.
Portfolio Development
Weekly LinkedIn tasks build a public professional brand; final capstone report becomes portfolio centerpiece.
Career Integration
Week 12 includes professional reporting which forms the backbone of any career in Cyber Security.
Instructor Support
MWF live sessions + async lab support via WhatsApp + weekly working hours for 1:1 mentoring.
