Chapter 0: Pre-Work

Before live classes begin, you’ll receive access to our learning platform and a guided pre-work track. The goal is to build confidence in core computer science and programming basics so you start the bootcamp on solid ground. If you’re keen to explore security concepts early, the pre-work also introduces foundational cryptography and classic ciphers.

Fundamentals

  • Introduction to Algorithms
  • Installing Kali Linux With Virtualbox

Basics in Computer Science

  • Introduction to The Command Line
  • Version Control With Git And GitHub

Python Fundamentals

  • Python Fundamentals

Introduction to Cryptography

  • History
  • Substitution Cipher
  • Vigenre Cipher
  • Enigma

Project: An Enigma

  • In this project, you’ll receive a cipher text. Using the cryptography concepts you’ve learned (and the programming language of your choice), your goal is to crack the code and reveal the hidden message.

Our Methodology

Online Live Learning

  • Join live online sessions where you can ask questions, collaborate with peers, and get feedback in real time. Cohorts work well for learners in Greece, with schedules aligned to Europe/Athens time (EET/EEST) whenever possible.

Self Study

  • Part Time: 9 hours live learning + 11 hours self study (20 hours per week)
  • Full Time: 22.5 hours live learning + 17.5 hours self study (40 hours per week)

Flipped Classroom Method

  • Prepare with guided materials before class, then use live time for discussion, exercises, and problem-solving. This approach helps you learn actively and build confidence faster.

Guided Practice

  • Expect a strong focus on doing: hands-on exercises, lab work, and portfolio projects. You’ll practise with instructor support so knowledge turns into real capability—not just theory.

What You’ll Need

You don’t need a computer science degree to join. We start from essential concepts and build step by step through guided labs. This bootcamp suits beginners as well as professionals in Greece who want to strengthen their security skills for their current role.
