Frequently Asked Questions

No! The program is completely free. We cover the cost of training, certifications, and materials. During Phase II, you’ll earn a competitive wage as a security professional.

The complete program spans approximately 3-4 years. Phase I (Education) is 6-9 months, Phase II (Experience) is a minimum of 2 years, and Phase III (Enterprise Launch) varies based on individual readiness.

Phase I is intensive and requires full-time commitment. However, we provide a modest stipend to help with living expenses during training. Phase II is full-time paid employment.

We require a high school diploma or GED. If you’re working toward your GED, we can provide resources and referrals to help you complete it before starting the program.

We accept new cohorts quarterly (January, April, July, October). The application deadline is typically 6-8 weeks before the start date. Apply early, as spaces are limited!
