Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need Sec+ to enroll?

Sec+ isn't strictly required to buy, but the course assumes Sec+ knowledge and picks up where Professor Messer's free Sec+ training stops. If you haven't passed Sec+ yet, finish Messer's free training and the exam first — you'll get a lot more out of every lab and module.

When can I start?

Immediately. The course is self-paced — all 12 modules and the lab environment unlock the moment your payment clears. There's no cohort schedule to wait for. Coaching-tier students book their first 1:1 from inside the course whenever they're ready.

What's the difference between the two tiers?

Self-Paced ($497) is the full course — all 12 modules, the lab environment, AI Tutor, dual-track resume framework, and lifetime access. Self-Paced + Coaching ($997) adds 4 × 45-min 1:1 coaching calls plus 90 days of async resume + lab review with the founder.

What's the refund policy?

30-day money-back guarantee on both tiers from the date of purchase — full refund, no questions asked. Just email info@cybersecproacademy.org.

Do you offer a job guarantee?

No — and we don't pretend to. Hiring is on the other side of the table. What we do offer (especially on the coaching tier) is mock interviews, dual-track resume work, LinkedIn rewrite, and direct founder feedback on your applications. The work you do controls the outcome.

How long do I have access to the content?

Lifetime access to all course content and future curriculum updates — both tiers. The coaching add-on runs for 90 days from the date you book your first 1:1 call; the course itself is yours forever.

Can I upgrade from Self-Paced to Coaching later?

Yes — anytime. Email info@cybersecproacademy.org with your order number and you'll pay the difference ($500). Your 90-day coaching window starts the day you book your first 1:1.

What payment methods do you accept?

All major credit and debit cards (Visa, Mastercard, Amex, Discover) and PayPal. Checkout is processed securely by Teachable — your card details are encrypted and never touch our servers.
