Your Career Should Grow With You.

You want a better career pathway
You want to transition into the tech industry

Why Transition Into Cybersecurity?

It is one of the fastest-growing fields globally. Many entry-level roles do not require coding. They require structured training, analytical thinking, and practical experience.

Professionals in this field help organizations:

Monitor Threats

Investigate Incidents

Protect Data

Risk & Compliance

Who CFP Is For

Three kinds of people join the program — with one thing in common: they're serious about doing the work.

New Entrants

You want a structured route into cybersecurity — a clear pathway instead of scattered YouTube tutorials.

MOST COMMON

Career Switchers

You already have professional experience — you need cybersecurity-specific capability and evidence to make the transition.

Early-Career Professionals

You're already in tech or security-adjacent work and want more practical exposure and stronger positioning.

A Structured Pathway Into Cybersecurity

The Cybersecurity Foundation Program provides a clear, step-by-step pathway that helps professionals transition from survival jobs into meaningful cybersecurity careers.

Phase 1: Foundation Course (6 weeks)

A comprehensive 6-week foundation across six modules — from the threat landscape and vulnerability management to risk, cyberdefense controls and the cybersecurity workforce — with hands-on labs in tools like Qualys, Maltego and SpiderFoot.

Phase 2: Internship Program (12 weeks)

Join the virtual internship at Hacktales Academy: hands-on technical training, guided classes and role-specific mentorship. Spend three months interning in one of our core teams — GRC, Security Engineering (Blue Team) or Offensive Security (Red Team).

Phase 3: Capstone Project (4 weeks)

Your final proving ground: solve a real-world cybersecurity challenge from start to finish with mentor feedback. The project becomes part of your portfolio — verifiable, employer-ready evidence of your skills.

Phase 4: Recruitment Support (2 weeks)

Prepare to compete for cybersecurity roles in the job market. In this phase, we help you with:

Resume optimization
LinkedIn positioning
Mock interviews
Strategic job search guidance

Choose Your Track

In your chosen specialization, you go deep in one of three tracks — each preparing you for a different family of cybersecurity roles.

Blue Team

Learn how defenders monitor environments, identify suspicious activity, investigate security events and respond to threats. Practise the thinking and workflows used across security operations, vulnerability management and defensive security.

Best forSOC, security operations, vulnerability management, incident response and other defensive roles.

Red Team

Learn how attackers think and how security weaknesses are discovered, validated and communicated. Build practical exposure to offensive security concepts, testing methodology and responsible security assessment.

Best forPenetration testing, vulnerability assessment, offensive security and related technical roles.

GRC

Learn how organizations translate cybersecurity risk, regulation and business requirements into policies, controls and decisions. Practise risk assessment, compliance thinking, control evaluation, documentation and stakeholder communication.

Best forGovernance, risk, compliance, audit, privacy and security assurance roles. Great for career switchers with professional experience.

What the Program Includes

Everything you need to succeed in the Nigerian and global markets.

Enterprise Tools

Train hands-on with security technologies used in real organizations — so tool knowledge is connected to doing the work.

12-Week Virtual Internship

Practical, hands-on experience simulating real work environments.

CRITICAL

Work Reference

Verifiable hands-on experience to bypass the "No Tech Experience" trap and secure local or remote roles.

Vendor-Based Global Certifications

Certification opportunities through our partner companies — preparation included to make your resume stand out.

Direct Mentorship

Guidance from industry professionals actively working globally and in Nigeria.

Portfolio Projects

Tangible proof of your skills to show hiring managers during interviews.

Certifications through our partner companies

Kaspersky

Certification availability varies by cohort — the exact offering is confirmed before each cohort starts.

An honest note

CFP does not promise you a job — and you should be cautious of any program that does. It is designed to remove the two biggest barriers to entering cybersecurity: lack of relevant experience and lack of evidence that you can do the work. You leave with both.
