Frequently Asked Questions (The FAQs)
-
No, here is the reality, no program can promise that. What we do guarantee is that you’ll leave with a portfolio that shows you understand and can do the work, have resources you can use in the workplace, gain real-world practice and confidence that employers actually want. Our goal is to prepare you to stand out from other candidates and feel ready step into a cyber security role.

Expect around 5-8 hours per week. That includes attending live masterclasses and workshops (watch the recordings if you can’t attend), project work, and optional sprint challenges. But hey everyone has different speeds, so the estimated hours are just that, estimated.

Every workshop and masterclass is recorded and uploaded within 24 hours. You’ll also have access to our bi-weekly Q&A sessions and the privacy community, so you’ll never fall behind.

Certifications test knowledge. Cyber Rookie is built on practice, a safe space to make mistakes, and having coaches and fellow community members to lean on for help, as we want to build an industry where we support rather than compete with one another. You will also be guided by consultants who’ve delivered real security and privacy programs for government and enterprise clients. You will walk away with tangible resources and knowledge used everyday in the industry, not just theory.
