The Red Team Apprentice Course is a beginner-friendly program covering fundamental security topics and Red Team operations. Prepare for a career in emulating nation-state level cyber threats and adversaries through hands-on, lab-driven network attack scenarios and highly realistic Battleground training environments to hone your real-world skill sets. The Red Team Apprentice course costs $6,495.00.
The Red Team Apprentice Course is a six-day, beginner-friendly introduction to the foundations of cybersecurity and Red Team operations. Over the course of five class days, students will learn how to emulate nation-state level cyber threats and adversaries through live instruction and hands-on, lab-driven network attack scenarios. We don’t believe in pre-recorded lectures or monotonous slide presentations. Instead, students test their skills in our purpose-built training environment, Battlegrounds, and engage directly with experienced instructors. Classes are offered virtually and in-person at our Cyber Operations Training Center.
The course concludes with a nine-hour hands-on certification exam on the sixth day. To ensure that students leave our course prepared for their careers as cyber operators, we use Battlegrounds to conduct a mock Red Team assessment from start to finish. Students use the skills and tradecraft taught during the course to complete a Red Team operation against a simulated Microsoft® Windows® domain network. Students also have the option to take a practical certification exam to test their knowledge gained during the course.
Successful completion of the Red Team Apprentice Course is required before enrolling in the Red Team Journeyman or Master Operator Courses.
