HOW IT WORKS

Keep in mind, we all learn at different speeds and you may find some topics require more or less time. As such, the platform will be available to you 24/7.
In the remote version of the Bootcamp, you will get together with your classmates and facilitator over video conference twice a day, once in the morning and once at the end of the day. During the day, you will be able to communicate with classmates and facilitators via messaging platform.
In order for you to practice the skills you learn, the Bootcamp includes over 100 unique hands-on exercises that run in virtual machines. These are safe environments where you will be able to run different operating systems, access various tools without installing them on your computer, and practice confidently without putting your computer at risk.
In order to participate effectively in the Bootcamp, you will need a laptop able to run video conferencing. This includes an up-to-date operating system, a stable high-speed internet connection, and a working camera and microphone. For a more detailed list please refer to the Zoom System Requirements.

The Bootcamp was developed under the principle of “everything you need to know but only what you need to know”. Cybint’s accelerated learning methodology – based on military bootcamps – focuses on teaching you the specific skills you will need to start your cybersecurity career.
At the beginning of each day, you will receive daily learning objectives from your facilitator. During the day, you will learn at your own pace on the Cybint Platform. At the end of the day, you will regroup with your cohort and facilitator for another session to consolidate the day’s learning.
The instructor is the platform, which was developed by Cybint’s cybersecurity experts. Through the platform, you will access content as well as practice labs and scenarios. In addition, every cohort will be assigned a facilitator, who will be supporting your learning experience and ensuring no one is left behind.
Everything is browser-based so there is no need to install any app or software. We recommend using Chrome internet browser for best experience.
