Training Methodology
Hackers Academy prides itself with delivering high quality, fully practical trainings. Our trainers are recognized industry experts and they bring to the classroom decades of corporate and enterprise experience.
Fully Hands-on
With tens of labs and custom-built vulnerable machines our courses are 100% hands on. Within 30 minutes of starting the training, students will be immersed in the labs. Theory is kept at a minimum and the amount of practice students get is like no other courses they have experienced before.
Cloud Based
Unlike traditional labs, our labs are built in the cloud allowing students to access them anytime, anywhere. Each student will have their own separate network of real-life services and servers to hack way beyond the course duration. This helps students raise their confidence levels and increase their abilities.
Highly Professional
Without business skills, in the world of professional penetration testing, students will not make the cut. Our courses set the students up to carry themselves confidently talking to techies and executives alike. Students will learn how to respond to RFPs, scope engagements and create proposals.
