Cyber Security Training Program (Entry-Level)

With 170 guided learning hours included in this pathway, your completion timeline depends on how much time you can dedicate to your studies each week.

On average, most learners complete the program in 3 to 6 months. Here is a breakdown of what that looks like in practice:

• Full-Time Study (20–25 hours/week): You can expect to finish in approximately 7 to 8 weeks. This is a fast-track approach for those looking to pivot careers quickly.

• Part-Time Study (10–12 hours/week): This is the most common route for those balancing a job or other commitments, leading to completion in about 3 to 4 months.

• Light Study (5 hours/week): If you prefer a slower pace or have very limited free time, you will likely complete the pathway in 5 to 6 months.

Pro Tip: While the 170 hours cover the core curriculum, we recommend buffering in an extra 20–30 hours for independent project work and final exam practice to ensure you're fully "job-ready."
