Your clock.
Our environment.
Full async curriculum with 90 days of lab access, instructor office hours twice weekly, and the same CAS-005 exam preparation track. For senior practitioners who learn on their own schedule.
Self-Paced is the format for senior practitioners whose calendars cannot tolerate five fixed days, but who still want the same lab environment, the same exam preparation, and the same outcome.
You get 90 days of full lab access from your enrollment date, the complete recorded curriculum (eighteen modules), and a structured study plan calibrated by an advisor on day one. You set the pace; the system tracks progress.
Twice-weekly group office hours, Tuesday evenings and Saturday mornings, recorded, give you live instructor access without locking your week. Most self-paced candidates finish in 30 to 60 days.
A realistic rhythm.
Self-paced doesn't mean unstructured. The advisor builds a study plan on day one and the system surfaces it as you progress. Here is a typical breakdown for working professionals.
Foundations
Domain 1 (GRC) and architecture primer. Six lab hours. Office hours on Saturday.
Architecture
Domain 2 deep dive. Twelve lab hours. Two threat-modeling exercises submitted for review.
Engineering
Domain 3, the heaviest. Twenty lab hours across IAM, PKI, containers, automation.
Operations
Domain 4, detection engineering, IR, forensics. Capstone incident simulation.
Exam Prep
Full-length simulations, weak-area drilling, voucher scheduling, exam-day tactics.
