Do I need an IT background before joining this bootcamp?

Some comfort with computers is helpful but no formal IT background is required. The bootcamp opens with networking foundations and computing security basics before progressing to ethical hacking, Metasploit, and vulnerability assessment.

Will I get hands-on hacking and defence practice?

Yes. The curriculum covers live labs in OS hardening, Metasploit exploitation, password attacks, web security, and network reconnaissance. You will build and attack controlled environments throughout the programme — not just study theory.

Does the bootcamp prepare me for any industry certifications?

The curriculum aligns with CompTIA Security+ and CEH (Certified Ethical Hacker) exam objectives, giving you a strong foundation to sit those exams after completing the bootcamp. Certification exam fees are separate.

What cybersecurity jobs can I apply for after the bootcamp?

Graduates are job-ready for roles including Penetration Tester, SOC Analyst, Network Security Specialist, Ethical Hacker, and Digital Forensics Analyst — in financial services, government, telecoms, and security consulting firms.
