How do I get started with CyberKy?

Last updated on Jul 09, 2026

Follow these steps depending on whether you want self-paced Platform access or Academy mentorship.

Option A — Start with the Platform (most people)

  1. Create a free account at cyberky.com/auth/register

  2. Sign in and open your Dashboard

  3. Explore Pathways and intro modules on the Free plan

  4. When you are ready for full pathways, labs, and career tools, upgrade to Premium or Ultra from Plans or Platform Access

  5. Optional: join Discord and attend a free workshop

Tips for your first week

  • Pick one pathway that matches the role you want (for example IAM or SOC)

  • Complete intro modules before jumping into advanced labs

  • Join Discord so you can ask questions and stay accountable

  • Use Resume Accelerator / Interview Coach after you have some lab and course progress (paid plans)

Option B — Apply to CyberKy Academy

If you want mentorship and job placement support:

  1. Attend a free workshop (optional but recommended) at cyberky.com/workshop

  2. Submit an application at cyberky.com/academy/apply

  3. Complete the short survey (about 2 minutes)

  4. Book / attend your consultation call

  5. Review the Academy FAQ before your call

Academy spots are limited. Applications are reviewed for commitment and fit.

Do I need experience?

No. CyberKy is designed for beginners and career changers, as well as people already in IT. You should be comfortable using a computer and learning online. Cybersecurity experience is not required to start.

What if I am outside the US / Canada?

Platform subscriptions are available online. Academy and workshop lead forms currently require a +1 phone number for SMS reminders and outreach. If you do not have a +1 number, start with Platform access at cyberky.com/plans.
