Training Tracks
Structured certification paths that build from foundational knowledge through to advanced, specialist-level credentials.
Sample customized training tracks, based on the NICE Framework.
Tracks are built against the NICE Cybersecurity Workforce Framework categories, so a path maps to a real job role rather than to a vendor's course list. Each one runs entry level, then intermediate, then advanced tooling.

Common questions.
Do we have to follow a track in order?
Each track runs entry level, then intermediate, then advanced tooling, but it is a guide rather than a fixed sequence. Where someone already holds the earlier certification, the track starts further along.
Can a track be built around our team?
Yes. Contact the Academy team and we will build a track tailored to your team's current level and the roles you are hiring or developing toward.
Where do the individual courses come from?
The certification catalogue delivered with (ISC)², EC-Council, BSI, CompTIA, and ISACA. Every course in a track is listed on the Training Courses page.
How do we know which track fits a person?
It follows the NICE Framework category the target role sits in. Securely Provision suits build and architecture roles, Operate and Maintain suits infrastructure and administration, Protect and Defend suits SOC and incident response, and Analyse suits forensics and threat analysis.
