Frequently asked questions
Straight answers, including the ones that are less comfortable to give.
The programme
Do I need a security background to take CN-CAISE?
You need to be comfortable with systems, networks or software — this is written for practising engineers, not absolute beginners. If you are not sure whether that describes you, the readiness check will tell you honestly in about a minute.
Is this recorded, or actually live?
Live, instructor-led, on a schedule. Sessions are attended rather than watched. If you want recorded content at your own pace, this is the wrong programme and we would rather say so now.
How is this different from a general cyber security course?
AI security is the whole subject here, not a closing module. Prompt injection, retrieval pipelines, model assets and agent privilege boundaries are treated as first-class problems, because that is how they arrive in production.
Will this get me a job?
We provide industry-relevant skills, practical experience, mentorship, portfolio development and interview readiness. Employment decisions remain with individual employers. What the programme gives you is the capability, and a credential that means something because the assessment is real.
When does the next cohort start?
Dates are confirmed directly with people who have registered. Start with the readiness check — it takes about a minute, and it is how we work out which cohort suits you.
Can you train my whole team?
Yes. Private cohorts, custom curriculum, executive briefings and tabletop exercises are all available for organisations, with scoping done before anything is proposed.
Corporate training
Is there a minimum team size?
Private cohorts work best from around eight people. Below that, individual enrolment on a public cohort is usually better value, and we will say so rather than sell you a private one.
How much can the curriculum be customised?
Substantially. The core AI security material is fixed because it is the point, but the labs, the systems used as examples and the tabletop scenario are shaped around your architecture.
What do our engineers need to know already?
Comfort with systems, networks or software. They do not need prior security specialisation — the scoping call establishes the starting point so nobody is lost or bored.
How quickly can you start?
Scoping usually happens within a week of an enquiry. Delivery depends on the format and your team’s availability, and we will give you real dates in the proposal rather than an optimistic one.
How is our team assessed?
On what they can do, through the labs and a final exercise. You receive a per-person outcome. We do not pass everyone, because a report that says everyone passed is not a report.
Do you guarantee outcomes?
We guarantee the delivery, the assessment and the honesty of the report. We do not guarantee that every person will meet the standard — that depends on them, and pretending otherwise would make the certification worthless.
