// What's included

Everything included — training, credentials, and placement.

Every piece below is included in your tuition. No upsells, no add-on packages, no surprise fees at the end. This is the full system that takes you from "interested in GRC" to "hired GRC operator."

Live & self-paced training

A blended learning model built for working adults. Weekly live cohort sessions with senior GRC practitioners give you reps on real audit work — control design reviews, evidence reviews, mock audit interviews — not slide-deck lectures. Between live sessions, the self-paced library lets you re-watch, drill, and review at your speed. Every minute of content is mapped to one of three industry credentials so nothing you learn is wasted.

  • CompTIA Security+
    The foundational security cert hiring teams screen for. Covers threats, architecture, identity, risk, and operations. This is the cert that gets your resume past the first filter for ~70% of cybersecurity and GRC roles in the US.
  • ISO 27001 Lead Auditor
    The international standard for leading information security audits. Plan audits, run opening and closing meetings, gather evidence, write findings, and report to management. The credential clients and certification bodies look for at the front of the audit room.
  • ISO 42001 Lead Auditor
    The new global standard for auditing AI management systems. Cover AI risk assessment, model lifecycle controls, governance structures, and impact assessments. ISO 42001 LA holders are positioned for the AI governance roles every regulated company is racing to staff.

Hands-on labs with real audit artifacts

Every concept is reinforced through real audit work your cohort runs end-to-end. No simulators, no toy environments, no "imagine you're reviewing a SOC report" PowerPoints. You'll build risk registers, write policies, draft Statements of Applicability, run mock audits, interview process owners, document findings, and present to a mock audit committee. Labs progress from guided walkthroughs to open-ended scenarios where you lead an audit under pressure — the same way you'll work on the job.

Certification vouchers (all three)

Exam vouchers for CompTIA Security+, ISO 27001 Lead Auditor, and ISO 42001 Lead Auditor are all included. We schedule them with you, time them to your readiness, and pay for them up front so the cost of the credential is never a barrier. If you need a retake, we cover that too — provided you're engaged with the program.

Dedicated Technical Program Advisor

One advisor — a working GRC practitioner, not a sales rep — is assigned to you from day one. They know your background, your goals, your timeline, and your blockers. Weekly 1:1 check-ins keep you on pace. When the audit prep gets hard, they unblock you. When life gets busy, they hold you accountable. As you progress, they introduce you to the right operators inside our network. You will not be a face in a Slack channel — you'll have a coach.

End-to-end career services

Credentials open the door. Career services walk you through it. Our placement team builds the full kit needed to convert your new skills into a real offer — positioning, outreach, interviews, and negotiation — and works the network on your behalf until you sign.

  • Job placement services
    Direct introductions to hiring partners, cohort-only job boards, and warm referrals from our operator network. We work the phones — you don't apply into the void.
  • Resume services
    1:1 resume rebuilds tailored to GRC, audit, and AI governance roles. Written by people who've sat on hiring panels, optimized to pass both ATS filters and human reviewers in under 10 seconds.
  • LinkedIn services
    Full profile rewrite, keyword optimization, headline strategy, and content guidance so recruiters DM you instead of you cold-applying. We routinely see 5–10x increases in recruiter outreach within 30 days.
  • Mock interviews
    Live behavioral and audit-scenario interviews with senior practitioners. Each session is recorded, debriefed line by line, and iterated until you walk into the real interview already knowing the answers to the hard questions.

Masterclasses with senior operators

Recurring live sessions with senior operators on the topics that don't fit neatly into a curriculum but absolutely matter on the job. These are the conversations you'd normally only get from a great mentor inside a great team — brought directly to your cohort.

  • Technical masterclasses
    Hands-on deep dives on the tools GRC operators actually use — Vanta, Drata, OneTrust, ServiceNow GRC, Archer, and the AI-assisted audit workflows that are reshaping the profession. Each session is led by a senior practitioner using these tools in production.
  • Career masterclasses
    Salary negotiation tactics that add five figures to offers, audit-interview strategy from people who've conducted hundreds of them, navigating your first 90 days, and building long-term leverage in your GRC career.
Founders Guarantee

If you put in the work, we stand behind your outcome.

Show up, complete the labs, and engage with your advisor — we'll keep working with you until you're placed.
