Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

What do I need to get started? +
Nothing except a student account — which is free to create. The Foundation level has no prerequisites and requires no payment. Just register, enrol in the Foundation course, and start your first lesson today.
How are courses assessed? +
Foundation courses use embedded quiz questions and a mini project. Intermediate and Advanced courses add assignment submissions reviewed by peers using structured rubrics. The Certification level requires a full practical project submission that is assessed before the certificate is issued.
Is ethical hacking legal? +
Yes — when done with permission. Ethical hacking, also called penetration testing, is a legitimate and highly paid profession. Our courses only teach techniques in legal, controlled, simulated environments. We cover the legal and ethical framework thoroughly.
Do I need a technical background to start? +
No. The Foundation level is designed for complete beginners. However, to reach the Advanced penetration testing courses, you will need to have completed the Intermediate modules — particularly Linux and networking — as these build the technical foundation required.
How in-demand are cybersecurity professionals? +
Extremely. There is a global shortage of qualified cybersecurity professionals estimated in the millions. Nigeria and Africa are particularly underserved. Qualified cybersecurity professionals command some of the highest salaries in tech across all markets.
