What is different about our Cyber Security Bootcamp?

Learn why Coder Academy’s new cyber security course stands out from the rest to set you up for your new career

Anyone reading the news will be aware that Cyberspace is the new battleground of the 21st Century. Cyber attacks are increasingly in the headlines across the globe with malicious hackers complicit in everything from influencing elections to industrial sabotage.

The Information Systems Audit and Control Association (ISACA) has stated that by 2019, there will be a 2 million person global shortage of Cyber talent and there are estimates that Cyber Security incidents could cost Australia up to $29b per year. Analysis from Accenture shows that there have been twice as many serious private hacking attempts in 2018 versus 2017.

Cannon fodder is not enough in this type of battle. In order to defend against increasingly sophisticated cyber attacks you need “soldiers” armed with ethics, intellect, communication skills and specialised, practical training. The education system has caught on to the need for more talent and Universities and TAFE have been working to provide a range of new training options. While these courses are all valuable ways to acquire Cyber Security skills, it is important to shop around and understand the differences between the offerings.

What we at Coder Academy are launching into the market in November is a completely unique, bootcamp style course. The things that are different about our course are:

2. The course will be run face to face from 1pm-8pm, 5 days a week for 7 months
3. The course will be run in an agile, hands on, industry focused fashion
4. The course will be delivered by Industry experts and Education experts working together
5. The embedded Diploma of Software Development will give you the practical skill you need to work in complex environments that require both technical excellence in cyber security and practical mastery of coding in Python, Javascript and C.
6. The course material has come from ex-Israeli Defence Force members who specialised in upskilling people with no prior experience in Cyber Security
7. The course will include hundreds of hours of practical training on virtual machines
8. An optional, unpaid 4 week internship in industry at the end of the program
9. The focus on coding and security provides an incredible base for someone starting in the cyber market. It is a skill set that is massively in demand and it is the best foundation for anyone that wants to understand cyber security from the inside out
10. The course will include access to regular industry mentors.
11. The course will run with a maximum of 25 students and up to 3 trainers. This provides an incredibly supportive environment that is the opposite of large lecture halls and distant lecturers.
