Practice

Projects

After completing Academy courses, learners get the chance to apply what they've learned on practical projects. These projects give trainees hands-on experience beyond the classroom, working with real tools and real-world scenarios under mentor guidance.

The kinds of projects learners take on

Vulnerability assessment

Applying ethical hacking skills to identify and responsibly report security weaknesses, following a clear code of conduct.

Security research

Investigating a topic in depth and documenting findings using responsible disclosure practices.

IT and systems work

Practical tasks involving networks, systems configuration and general IT support, matched to a learner's current skill level.
