FAQs

Questions We Get All the Time

All offensive security exercises are conducted in isolated, purpose-built lab environments and authorized simulated networks. You will never test real systems without explicit permission. We cover legal frameworks including the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act (CFAA) in the US and the Computer Misuse Act in the UK, and every student signs a responsible disclosure agreement.
Basic IT literacy is helpful but not required. The program starts with networking and Linux from the ground up. If you're completely new to IT, we recommend completing our free 2-week primer on networking fundamentals before the program begins. Professionals from non-tech backgrounds regularly succeed in this program.
The curriculum aligns closely with CompTIA Security+, CEH (Certified Ethical Hacker), OSCP (Offensive Security Certified Professional), and AWS Security Specialty. Many graduates sit for one or more of these certifications during or immediately after the program, with strong pass rates.
PCP at $6,000 can be paid in full or via 12-month 0% interest installments at $500/month. PGP at $9,999 can be paid in full or at $833/month. Merit-based partial scholarships are also available — ask your counsellor for details.
Resume review, LinkedIn optimization, mock technical interviews with active security professionals, direct referrals to 120+ US and UK hiring partners, and a dedicated career counsellor. Support continues until you receive and accept an offer — we don't stop at graduation.
Expect 15–20 hours per week — live weekend sessions (4–6 hrs) plus lab work and project time (10–14 hrs). The lab environment is available 24/7. Most students find security labs genuinely engaging and often spend more time than required.
Yes — 7-day no-questions-asked full refund from program start. After 7 days, refund requests are evaluated case-by-case. We are committed to your success and will work with you if circumstances change.
Absolutely. Atlia Learning serves both the US and UK markets. Sessions are scheduled to accommodate both time zones. Placement support covers leading UK employers including GCHQ-certified firms, BAE Systems, PwC Cyber UK, NHS Digital security teams, and UK NCSC industry partners. The cybersecurity job market in the UK is exceptionally strong.
