      Questions students ask

      I'm a fresher with no security background. Can I join?

      Yes. The SOC Analyst course starts from the basics of networks, logs and how a SOC runs. If you're comfortable with computers and willing to practise, you can follow it.

      Do I need to know coding?

      Not to start. You'll learn the search languages SOC teams use, like Splunk SPL and KQL, as part of the course. Basic scripting helps later and is covered in the automation course.

      Do you guarantee a job?

      No honest trainer can guarantee a job. What we do is make you interview-ready through hands-on work and mock interviews, help with your resume and share referrals where we can.

      What are the fees and when does the next batch start?

      Fees depend on the course and batch. Book a free call or message us on WhatsApp and we'll share the current fee and start date.
