Programme Overview
The Cybersecurity programme is a complete path from security fundamentals to professional practice. It runs for six months in two progressive stages: Cybersecurity Foundations (2 months) and Cybersecurity Practitioner (4 months). You learn by building real security labs, deploying SIEM platforms, performing penetration tests and producing professional security reports, not by watching theoretical lessons.
