Cyber Odyssey Program
Powering UAE's Largest Web Security Course
Immersive, hands-on training sessions that transform theory into practical expertise
Odyssey Program
Cyber Odyssey is our flagship educational program designed for institutions seeking to produce job-ready graduates with verifiable, accredited skills. Unlike traditional coursework, we begin with a practical skills assessment—a mini-CTF competition that establishes each student's baseline capabilities. Based on these results, we design a tailored semester-long training pathway that progressively builds the technical proficiency required to pass a rigorous, ISO 17024-aligned final practical exam.
We build custom, gamified, story-driven labs from scratch for any cybersecurity course—Web Security, Ethical Hacking, Penetration Testing, Digital Forensics, Network Security, Incident Response, and more. Students progress through isolated Docker environments with full tool.

Globally Recognized Certification
At semester's end, students sit for a comprehensive practical exam—a timed, real-world simulation testing their ability to identify vulnerabilities, exploit systems, and document findings professionally. Students who pass receive an ISO 17024-aligned certificate, accredited by EIAC (Emirates International Accreditation Centre) and ACTVET (Abu Dhabi Centre for Technical and Vocational Education and Training)—a globally recognized credential that validates their competency to employers.
This third-party validation signals to employers that graduates can perform security tasks on day one—not just discuss them in theory.
