RTF|S cover

RTF|S field guide included free with both passports: a printed copy plus the digital copy, as a thank you for committing upfront. Printed copies ship within the UK.

Each course is five days with Dimitrios. Valid for twelve months from purchase, with each week booked at least 30 days ahead, subject to availability. Exam fees and digital courseware are extra, as for single courses.

Ask about a passport

Every route includes the labs. Whether you study alone or with Dimitrios, each course is built around hands-on labs and exercises, so you practise as you learn.

About the bonus book. Included with the annual plan, with your first instructor-led course (digital), and with both passports (printed and digital). RTF|S is a hands-on, practical field guide for cybersecurity professionals, full of Python scripts. It is not part of the six courses, but it pairs well with C|PP if you want to put your Python to work. Not subscribing? You can also buy RTF|S on Amazon.

Certificates you can prove. Every course ends with a digital certificate and badge. Each student receives a private verification link to share with an employer.

Access is set up within one working day of subscribing. Exams: C|AIMLP, C|AAINE and C|BCP each have one. C|PP is assessed by a marked project (three months to submit). AMBSIF has no exam yet. A second exam attempt is £99.

Teams and institutions

Training centres can book Dimitrios as the instructor for any of the six courses. Companies and institutions can arrange seats on a six to twelve month term. Priced by quote.

What is next

More courses, every year.

The Academy has moved from one-off course fees to subscriptions and passports. That lets us build new courses much faster, and we plan to add roughly three to seven a year. Subscribers get each new course as it launches, at no extra cost.

Coming soon

Live workshops.

Two to three hour live sessions over Zoom for subscribers and course graduates. Dates and details to follow.

How it is built

Written from scratch.

Every programme takes five to seven months to build before it is released.

Unique, never recycled

Content is not reused between courses. Each one is designed for its subject and its learner.

A small team that adapts

Led by founder Dimitrios Zacharopoulos, who handles curriculum, labs and assessments. Being small means the courses keep pace with fast-moving fields.

Who it is for

Technical professionals moving into AI, ML, blockchain or PythonCareer changersC-level executivesTeams and organisationsDecision makers planning AI or blockchainSelf-starters

Courses

The six courses.

Five days each. Hands-on labs. Certification for life.

Build up from C|PP, or start where you fit. The grey dots (AMBSIF and C|BCP) are stand-alone courses. After C|AAINE comes a leadership decision point: technical teams carry on to C|BCP for blockchain, while senior leaders move to AMBSIF for strategy, governance and ROI.
