Inside the Lab

A Target Network That Fights Back

Every cohort gets its own isolated copy of a mid-sized corporate estate — public web tier, internal AD domain, a segmented finance subnet and a defender watching your traffic.

  • 18 hosts, 4 segmentsWindows and Linux, with the same misconfigurations we find on real engagements.
  • Live detectionA SIEM watches your activity, so noisy techniques get caught — exactly as they would in production.
  • Reset any timeBreak something? Roll the environment back to a clean snapshot and start again.
  • Human gradingAn instructor reviews your objective write-ups — not a flag-matching script.

02 How It Works

Four Steps To Your Certificate

Cohorts start monthly. You keep lab access for 90 days after the final session, so practice doesn't end with the last lesson.

01
Skills Check

A short diagnostic places you at the right level, so nobody sits through material they already know.

02
Live Sessions

Two instructor-led sessions each week, recorded and released the same day for anyone in a different timezone.

03
Lab Work

Every module ends in an isolated lab with a graded objective — your work is reviewed by an instructor, not a script.

04
Assessment & Certificate

A practical final assessment. Pass it and your Velpoint certificate is issued with a verifiable reference.

03 Instructor

Meet Your Instructor

Both courses are taught live by the same instructor, from day one to your final project.

Questions

Before You Start

Still unsure? Email info@velpointsecurity.com and an instructor will answer directly.

Not at all. Our foundation course starts from absolute zero and assumes nothing beyond everyday computer use, and the full programme takes you from there through to job-ready. Each course page lists its own prerequisites, and we are happy to advise where to start if you get in touch.

Every session is recorded and published the same day. Lab objectives have no fixed deadline within the cohort, so you can catch up at your own pace and still get instructor review on your submissions.

The Velpoint certificate is issued with a verifiable reference an employer can check with us. It is not a replacement for a vendor certification — but our syllabi are mapped to those exam objectives, so the course doubles as preparation.

Yes. Private cohorts are built around your stack and threat model, run on your schedule, and can use a lab modelled on your own environment. Get in touch for a quote.

Ninety days past the final session on every paid course. You can reset the environment as often as you like during that window.
