Ask about a passportEvery 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.
Why Obi.Academy
Built by consultants.
Not by a content factory.
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
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.
