Five-day, instructor-led certification bootcamps in IT and cybersecurity. I've been teaching them for more than 20 years, for training companies and for individuals, with a student success rate above 91%.
For training companies
If you run a training company, you need instructors who know the material cold, keep students engaged for five long days and get them through the exam. That’s what I’ve done for over 20 years. Here are three ways we can work together.
I teach for you
Your class, your brand, your students. I deliver your scheduled 5-day bootcamp on-site or live online, with your courseware or mine.
We partner on a program
Co-deliver a certification track, add my bootcamps to your catalog, or build a recurring schedule together so your seats stay full.

How partnering works
Intro call
Tell me about your company, the courses you run and the dates you need covered.
Fit check
We confirm the exam, the courseware, the delivery format and what your students need.
Agreement
You get my rate and terms in writing, and we lock in the dates.
Delivery and follow-up
I teach the class and send you a short report on the cohort afterwards.
Request instructor availability
Tell me what you need covered
Leave your work email and I'll reply within two business days to ask about the course and dates, with my availability and instructor profile.
Bootcamps I teach
Each bootcamp runs five days and is built around the current exam objectives.
For individuals
A bootcamp is the fastest way to get ready for a big exam. You step away from work for five days, focus on nothing else, and finish with a clear picture of what you know and what still needs work.
What the five days look like
Before class
You get prep material and a short self-assessment, so day one starts at the right level.
Days 1 to 4
We work through every exam domain with real-world examples, practice questions and the exam traps I see students fall into.
Day 5
Full review, practice exam, and a personal plan for your last stretch before exam day.
After class
Support until you sit the exam. If you need more help, you can add 1:1 coaching.
Is a bootcamp right for you?
A good fit if you
- Have some hands-on experience
- Learn best with a live instructor
- Can block out five full days
- Want to sit the exam soon after class
Consider coaching instead if you
- Can’t take a full week off
- Need to start from the basics
- Failed once and want to work on specific domains
- Prefer to study over several weeks

Questions
Why five days?
Five days is long enough to cover every domain properly and short enough to keep the material fresh for the exam. It’s the format I’ve found works best over 20 years of teaching.
What does a 91% success rate mean?
More than 91% of the students I’ve taught in bootcamps reached their certification goal.
Do you teach under our brand and courseware?
Yes. For training companies I can teach your class as your instructor, with your courseware and your branding. I can also bring my own labs and exercises.
Online or in person?
Both. I teach live online and on-site, in the US and internationally.
Is the exam voucher included?
That depends on the class. Check the details for each scheduled bootcamp, or ask when you book.
Can my employer pay?
Yes. I can invoice your company. For a whole team, team training may be a better fit.
Planning a bootcamp?
Training companies: book a call to talk about dates and partnering. Individuals: book a call to see if a bootcamp is the right way to pass your exam.
