We provide students with access to our online, self-paced training course that features over 275 lessons, videos, tests, and practical activities. This course will teach them everything they need to know for the exam, and more! Domains include:

• Security Fundamentals
• Phishing Analysis
• Threat Intelligence
• Digital Forensics
• SIEM
• Incident Response

When a student comes to one of our many practical activities, from log and network analysis to implementing a SIEM or threat intelligence platform, they will be provided with safe download links, a guide on how to install any required tools or files on their locally-hosted virtual machine, and the actions they need to complete throughout the exercise.

Using locally-hosted VMs means we can reduce the overhead cost of virtual labs, but it also provides the student with more time and flexibility if they want to expand on the exercises in their own time, improving their understanding and ability.

We do run a student-only forum, where we can answer questions and assist with issues. We intended to build out our support function in the future to offer dedicated support to organizations.

Students will have access to a virtual lab environment via their browser for 24 hours. They will be provided an exam brief, and must complete a number of actions and investigations, drawing on their knowledge and ability from practical activities covered in the training course. After 24 hours they will lose access to the exam lab, and will have another 24 hours to write their incident report based on the activities they have conducted, completing a template we provide.

Within 48 hours, students must have submitted their report to us, which will be hand-marked, and useful feedback provided, typically within 14-30 days.
