5 Cybersecurity Courses You Can Complete in a Weekend

Here are 5 beginner cybersecurity courses that you can complete in a weekend 👩🏻‍💻

The biggest thing I look out for when finding a good course is whether it has labs or technical projects you can work on along with learning the actual concepts.

So here’s a list of 5 beginner-friendly cyber courses (most of them also have hands-on labs!) that you can do this weekend 🎉 - 

1. Hack The Box [Linux Fundamentals]

2. Open Security Training [Introduction to Software Exploits]

3. LetsDefend [SOC Fundamentals]

4. TryHackMe [Introduction to Cyber Security]

5. Hack The Box [Introduction to Bash Scripting

The best way to stand out as a job candidate in this competitive job market is to have the skills employers are hiring for. 

The certifications will give you the credentials, but the technical projects will prove that you can learn new skills and apply them. 

If you're aiming to break into cybersecurity, focus on building a strong technical project portfolio alongside your certifications. This is what you NEED to stand out in this job market.

Here’s a video I made on the best cybersecurity projects to work on for beginners.

And BTW - I recently created a cybersecurity IG and will be sharing more cybersecurity resources and videos on here. 

Hope to see you there!
