Course Overview
This is the 9-month Cyber Security programme, built for someone starting straight after 12th who wants real cyber security skills without assuming any coding or technical background. Offensive and defensive security in live lab environments — networks, web apps, cloud and incident response.
Months 1–3 covers foundations — Foundations and Offensive: Networking & TCP/IP, Linux security, Cryptography, Threat models, Reconnaissance, Vulnerability scanning, Exploitation and Post-exploitation. Each topic is taught hands-on, in the order a real cyber security project actually needs it.
Months 4–6 covers core skills & practice — Web Security and Defensive: OWASP Top 10, Burp Suite, Auth flaws, API security, SIEM & log analysis, Incident response, Hardening and Forensics basics. Each topic is taught hands-on, in the order a real cyber security project actually needs it.
Months 7–9 covers scaling & capstone project — Reporting: Pentest reports, Risk scoring, Remediation advice and Client briefing. Each topic is taught hands-on, in the order a real cyber security project actually needs it.
Every module ends with something you actually build — a script, a working setup, a deployed piece of the final project. By the end of the programme, these add up to a complete portfolio project with documentation you can show in interviews and on your CV.
What You’ll Learn
Every module ends in something you have built and a trainer has reviewed, so the list below is work you will have done rather than topics you will have heard about.
Strong fundamentals first
networking & tcp/ip, linux security and cryptography are covered in the first stage, so when you reach applied work you already understand the system underneath.
Real hands-on practice with Kali Linux
You work in a real environment with Kali Linux, Burp Suite and Wireshark rather than watching a recorded demo.
Best practices taught early
owasp top 10, burp suite and auth flaws are covered before the advanced modules, because that is the order real work actually happens in.
A capstone that ties everything together
The final project combines the full programme into one deployment, with documentation, a demo and interview practice.

Why this programme is worth your year
Fundamentals first
The first stage covers networking & tcp/ip, linux security and cryptography. Once these basics are clear, every later module is easier to understand because you already know how the system underneath works.
Hands-on practice
You work with Kali Linux, Burp Suite and Wireshark by actually building and configuring, not watching slides.
You build real projects
Every topic ends with a deliverable — labs, reports, a hosted application and a final capstone. You leave with work you can show in interviews.
Extend anytime
This 9 months programme is the foundation of the longer tracks. If you want to go deeper later, you continue from where you left off — nothing is repeated.
Build tomorrow. Scale without limits.
- Cyber Security sits behind roles that keep appearing on Chandigarh job boards, and businesses are increasingly hiring straight out of a practical programme rather than a degree alone.

Hands-on projects you will ship
The syllabus is arranged so every module produces something you keep rather than a set of notes. Modules run in the order a real project runs: foundations first, then applied work, then supervised client work, then the portfolio piece that turns all of it into an offer letter.
Foundations build
Your first working piece, applying networking & tcp/ip and linux security end to end rather than as isolated exercises.
Offensive challenge
Work with a real, messier brief covering reconnaissance and vulnerability scanning, and defend the choices you made to a trainer.
Live client brief
A genuine requirement from techcadd's delivery pipeline, scoped, built and shipped under supervision. This is the one interviewers ask about.
Portfolio capstone
A cyber security project you specify yourself, covering pentest reports and risk scoring, presented as your final piece.
Learn it. Build it. Make it yours.
Every project moves through the same loop: understand the brief, build with guidance, then explain the decisions behind your work.
Understand
Break a real requirement into a clear plan and the right tools.
Foundations build
Build
Work hands-on with trainer feedback while the decisions are still easy to change.
