Bring Industry-Recognized Cybersecurity Certifications to Your Institute
Partner with SkelerSecurity to deliver hands-on, lab-based certification training — from beginner-friendly foundations to expert-level Active Directory mastery — backed by a certification body built on real exam rigor, not multiple-choice tests.
Why Institutes Choose SkelerSecurity
Hands-On, Not Multiple-Choice
Every certification is a real, timed lab exam followed by a professional report — the same standard employers expect in the field. Your graduates leave with proof they can actually do the work.
A Complete Career Ladder
Eight certifications across Foundation, Associate, Professional, and Expert levels, spanning both offensive (red team) and defensive (blue team) tracks — so your institute can serve students from first-timers to senior professionals.
Ready-Made Curriculum Support
Official exam blueprints, domain weightings, and structured training roadmaps (45-day, 3-month, and 6-month formats) so your instructors can build strong courses fast.
Physical, Proctored, Credible Exams
Every exam is conducted on-site at an authorized examination centre — no shortcuts, no remote loopholes — which is exactly what gives the credential its weight with employers.

Durations reflect training delivery only. The certification exam is scheduled and billed separately — see the exam model below.
A Certification That Means Something
Every SkelerSecurity exam is conducted in person, on-site, at an authorized examination centre — never remotely. Candidates complete a single 9-hour exam day: 7 hours of hands-on lab work, followed immediately by 2 hours of on-site professional report writing under proctored conditions.
This model exists for one reason: to make sure a SkelerSecurity certificate means the holder can genuinely do the work. That’s what makes the credential valuable to your graduates — and to the employers who hire them.
7-Hour Lab
Candidates work a live, realistic exam scenario and capture evidence as they go.
2-Hour Report
Candidates write a full professional report on-site, immediately after the lab.
Certificate & Result Report
Passing candidates receive a physically printed, industry-recognized certificate plus a detailed performance report.
