Description
The Professional Diploma in AI-Augmented Cybersecurity Operations is a 12-month, cohort-based programme that takes learners from core security fundamentals to a live Red-vs-Blue engagement reviewed by an industry panel. Sixteen industry certifications — including CEH, CompTIA Security+, CySA+, PenTest+, AWS Security Specialty, Splunk, and Microsoft SC-200 — are mapped across the 15 competencies, so learning outcomes drive the curriculum, not the other way around. Some of the highlights of the course:
- One continuous lab chain, not isolated exercises.
- All relevant domains that matter to employers
- Certifications mapped to outcomes, not the other way around.
- AI as a working tool, throughout the learning structure
- A portfolio, not just a certificate

FeaturedAI-Augmented Offensive Security
This is a 3-month course for offensive practitioners who want to fold AI into every stage of an engagement — and treat attacking AI systems themselves as a genuine red-team discipline rather than an afterthought. Opens with AI-assisted recon and exploit scripting, moves through AI-driven threat intelligence, then covers application security focused on AI-agent auth flaws, and closes with adversarial AI red teaming — jailbreaks, prompt injection, and model evasion as their own attack techniques. One of the only courses that dedicates real depth to attacking AI itself, rather than simply using AI as a productivity tool for traditional pentesting. Natural next step after AI Security Foundations for learners specializing toward offense. Prepares graduates for emerging roles like AI red-teamer or offensive AI security researcher, alongside traditional penetration testing positions.
FeaturedAI Security Foundations
This is a fast, 1-month primer for anyone who wants to understand how AI is reshaping both attack and defense before committing to a deeper specialization. Across four weekly modules, covers the current state of AI in cybersecurity from both offense and defense, the basics of LLM prompt-injection attacks, hands-on AI-copilot use for triage/recon, and a first look at AI governance frameworks like the NIST AI RMF and EU AI Act. Closes with a small mini project so learners have something tangible to show for a single month of study. Requires no prior AI or security background — the natural, lowest-commitment entry point into our entire AI track. Sets up a clean progression into either AI-Augmented Offensive Security or AI-Augmented Defensive Security, depending on specialization direction.
FeaturedAI Powered Offensive Security Specialist Certificate
This is a 6 month certificate program specialises in the Red Team/Offensive security segment. Highlights are as follows: A six-month, fully self-contained program taking learners from a condensed foundations refresher through the entire offensive engagement lifecycle: reconnaissance, exploitation, privilege escalation, application security, and full network penetration testing. Designed for learners who already know they want red-team work and are ready to move quickly past the basics into genuine hands-on lab time — recon methodology, exploit fundamentals, privilege escalation, and wireless attacks are covered in depth, not just introduced. Closes with a live, simulated red-vs-blue engagement scored against real GRC-aligned reporting criteria, so graduates leave with an actual portfolio artifact — a documented, professional-grade pentest report — rather than just a certificate. Right fit if your goal is a penetration tester, red-team operator, or offensive security consultant role.
