Course Curriculum

Eight weekends. Zero filler.

Each module builds from framework foundations to hands-on implementation. By the end, you will have not generic security theory re-labeled as “AI.”

Why This Programme Exists

AI is deployed. Security is an afterthought.

Every security team is being asked to review AI systems they have never tested. LLMs are shipped into production daily, with no threat model, no red team, no security review.

Traditional security training has not kept up. VAPT courses teach web apps. AppSec programmes cover OWASP Top 10. None of them touch what actually happens when an attacker targets an LLM, a RAG pipeline, or an autonomous agent.

This programme was built to close that gap, for practitioners who want to be the person in the room who actually understands AI Security, not just knows the acronyms.

The Gap

Security teams have zero hands-on experience testing AI. Attackers are already exploiting this.

The Problem With Existing Training

Most courses teach AI security as theory. No labs. No real systems. No way to verify you can actually do it.

What This Programme Does

You break a real AI system. Then you secure it. Then you map it to a governance framework. In one structured journey.

What Makes This Different

Not a course. A transformation.

There are courses that teach AI Security. There are none that teach you to break it, secure it, and govern it end to end, in labs, with real evaluation.

Browser-based labs. Ready in seconds.

No setup. No installation. No wasted time configuring environments. Every lab runs in your browser, fully pre-configured, with a real vulnerable AI application waiting for you.

You break real systems. Not toy examples.

Pre-built vulnerable AI applications designed to mirror production deployments: an LLM chatbot, a RAG pipeline, an autonomous agent. You attack them the same way an adversary would.

Attack → Defend → Govern. One journey.

Not three separate courses. A single, structured learning arc that takes you from exploiting a vulnerability to securing it to mapping it to a compliance framework. Nothing else does this.

OSCP-style rigour. Not attendance-based.

You earn your certificate by passing a real evaluation, not by showing up. The exam tests whether you can actually execute what you learned, against an unseen target system.

Structured like SANS. Not a YouTube playlist.

Eight weekends of deliberate, sequenced learning. Each module builds on the last. No fragmented content. No jumping between topics. A real curriculum with real progression.

Built on industry frameworks.

Every concept maps to NIST AI RMF, MITRE ATLAS, ISO/IEC 42001, and OWASP LLM Top 10. You leave with vocabulary and structure that translates directly to professional work.

Hands-on Labs

You do not read about attacks. You execute them.

The lab environment is the programme. Every concept taught in a session has a corresponding lab that runs the same day. Theory without practice is not security training.

Pre-built Vulnerable AI Applications

Every lab runs against a real application: a production-style LLM chatbot with RAG, an autonomous agent with tool access, or an AI API with authentication. These are not toy examples. They model how AI is actually deployed.

Browser-Based. No Setup Required.

Labs spin up in your browser in under 60 seconds. No Docker. No VMs. No stack traces at 10pm. You land on the lab and start attacking. The environment handles everything else.

Guided Exploitation Paths

Every lab includes a structured exploitation path: a sequence of steps that takes you from reconnaissance to confirmed exploit to findings documentation. You learn technique, not just outcome.

Open-Ended Challenges

Beyond the guided path, each lab contains open-ended challenges: edge cases, multi-step attack chains, and scenarios that require you to think, not just follow instructions.

On-Demand Lab Access Throughout

Every lab environment stays available for the full duration of your programme, not just during class. Revisit, retry, and explore at your own pace. AI security is learned by doing, and doing takes time.

Capstone Project

The real test is a real system.

The capstone is the full programme in one exercise. You assess a complete AI system, end to end. Threat model it. Break it. Secure it. Govern it. This is what professional AI security work looks like.

Phase 1

Threat Model the System

You receive a real-world AI application: a fully deployed LLM system with RAG, agents, and API integrations. Your first task: map the attack surface, identify trust boundaries, and produce a complete threat model using MITRE ATLAS and NIST AI RMF.

Phase 2

Exploit It

Now you attack. Using your threat model as a guide, you attempt to execute real vulnerabilities: prompt injection, agent manipulation, data exfiltration, guardrail bypass. Every finding is documented with severity, reproduction steps, and evidence.

Phase 3

Secure It

You switch sides. For each confirmed vulnerability, you design and implement a defence: guardrail updates, input validation, system prompt hardening, monitoring rules. You re-run your own attacks to verify the fix holds.

Phase 4

Map It to Governance

Finally, you document everything: risk register, control mappings to NIST AI RMF and ISO/IEC 42001, residual risk assessment, and remediation roadmap. A deliverable you can walk into any organisation and present.

What You Submit

Full threat model with MITRE ATLAS mapping
Red team findings report with reproduction steps
Implemented defensive controls with test evidence
Risk register mapped to NIST AI RMF and ISO 42001
Residual risk assessment and remediation roadmap
Executive summary suitable for presentation
Certification

You earn it. You don't just receive it.

Attendance-based certificates signal nothing to an employer. Real AI Security skill is demonstrated under examination conditions, against a system you have never seen.

Participation Certificate

Awarded on completing all programme sessions and lab exercises. Confirms you completed the training, the baseline that every graduate receives.

On programme completion

Exam Clearance Certificate

Awarded on passing the final assessment: a timed, practical examination against an unseen AI system. This certificate signals genuine, demonstrated competence, not attendance.

On passing the final exam

How the Exam Works

The final examination is a structured, time-bound practical challenge. You receive access to an unseen AI system and a set of objectives: find vulnerabilities, demonstrate exploitation, document findings, and propose remediation. Results are evaluated on technical accuracy and quality of deliverables, not multiple-choice.
