Five weeks of red-team thinking, blue-team rigour and Saturday CTFs. Built for Unique Academy students who want to break things ethically — and get paid to do it.
UniCyber Bootcamp is a 5-week intensive run by the Unique Academy Cybersecurity Club. We teach the way the industry actually works — lab-first, with real adversaries, real defences, and weekly CTFs.
We started UniCyber because the gap between a CS degree and a junior security analyst job is wider than anyone wants to admit. Most of what gets you hired — packet captures, Burp Suite, reversing, OSINT, writing a coherent IR report — isn't covered in any course.
So we built our own. Two evenings a week, ten sessions, taught by working pros from CRDB, Skynet and Vodacom, plus alumni who landed roles last cohort. Every Saturday closes with a live CTF you can actually win.
Graduate with a certificate, a portfolio of writeups, and a verified leaderboard rank that hiring managers can read.
Thursdays we teach. Saturdays we hack. Each week stacks on the last — by week 5 you're running an end-to-end engagement.
Every Saturday at 14:00 EAT we drop a fresh set of challenges across Web, Crypto, Forensics, OSINT, Reverse and Pwn. Solve one, submit a flag, climb the board. Week 1 challenge is live — try it now.
UniCyber is run by students, for students. Seven people keep the lights on, the servers up, and the challenges fair.
