Fresh graduates
Any stream. Cyber security certifications and bootcamps routinely accept commerce and arts graduates. The methodology is what matters.
Security track
Cyber Security
Learn to find and fix vulnerabilities before someone else does — from network reconnaissance through penetration testing to digital forensics, ending with reports you can hand to a security team.

Who this is for
The fastest route into cybersecurity if you come from a non-technical background
Security teams need people who can follow a methodology and document findings clearly. A computer science degree helps, but it is not the entry ticket.
IT support and helpdesk staff
You already touch systems, networks and user issues daily. Moving from fixing problems to preventing them is a natural step.
Career-switchers who like problem-solving
If you enjoy puzzles, investigations and understanding how things work under the hood, security work rewards that mindset.
Not the right track if…
You want to build applications. Security is about testing and defending systems, not writing production code. If building software is the goal, start with Python Full Stack instead.
Curriculum
Twelve modules from networking fundamentals to forensic report writing
Each module ends with a hands-on exercise you document and can show an employer.
