What does it take to pass?
A score of 80 or more out of 100. The twelve lab challenges are worth 60 points, 5 each, and the final test is worth 40. You see your score after every lab, so you always know where you stand.
What paid work is guaranteed?
Every graduate who passes is offered paid forward deployed engineering work, full- or part-time, at $80–100 an hour. Your rate depends on your experience and the engagement.
How does the tuition refund work?
Accept a role offered through the program and we refund your full $3,000 tuition. The enrollment agreement you review before paying sets out the exact terms.
What is the final test?
A timed, hands-on exam at the end of week 4. You deploy an AI security agent into an enterprise environment you haven’t seen before, then walk the instructors through your decisions.
Where and when is it?
In person in Austin, Texas. Cohort 1 starts in January 2027. Accepted students get the exact dates, daily schedule and location.
Do I need AI experience?
No. You need a technical foundation in security, software, cloud or IT. We teach the AI.
