FAQs

Common questions

Do I need to complete the Foundational Program first?

It's recommended, not mandatory. Working professionals or developers with an existing baseline in security fundamentals can enter a track directly — we'll assess readiness during enrolment.

How do I choose which track is right for me?

Talk to us during your free trial class — we look at your background and career goal and recommend a track. Developers often lean toward AppSec; IT/ops backgrounds often lean toward Cloud, Infra, or SOC & IR.

Can I take more than one track?

Yes — tracks can be taken sequentially once you've completed one. Many professionals start with AppSec or Cloud Security, then add a second track later.

Specialize with confidence.
