What can we help you with?
Cybersecurity protects data, networks, and computer systems from malicious attacks. It encompasses a wide range of tools and measures used to prevent unauthorized access to sensitive information or activities, detect security threats, mitigate potential risks, and respond quickly to any breaches that occur. Professionals use a variety of techniques and technologies to protect data, networks, systems, and services from malicious activity. These include identity management solutions such as authentication and authorization protocols; encryption technologies; network monitoring tools; firewalls; malware protection; vulnerability scanning; incident response planning; digital forensics; user awareness training; and more.

No, we do not provide certifications directly. However, we help prepare our students to write various cybersecurity certifications such as CompTIA Security Plus, Security Assessment, and Authorization, amongst others. As a part of the training program, we ensure that our students understand the intricacies of writing these certifications. We have always had students succeed at this stage, too. Additionally, we are with each student every step of the way – from helping them craft their resumes and prepare for interviews to guiding them on securing job opportunities within two months into the program. All this extra effort has given us an excellent record of successful placements for our graduates into the cybersecurity industry.
The class schedule is normally announced two months before the training start date to give our trainees enough time to plan and prepare for classes. Regular classes are usually held twice a week, with three hours of instruction each time. Classes are normally scheduled on weekdays in the evening, usually from 7:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. (CST), while group work sessions on weekends are mandatory. This will ensure that all our trainees have the opportunity to get up to date with the course material and collaborate effectively with their peers. To maximize learning outcomes and promote an enjoyable learning experience, we create a comfortable and friendly environment where all students feel comfortable engaging in discussions and expressing their opinions. Also, students get weekly homework to practice what they learned in class and learn more about the subject.
There are different domains within cybersecurity that one can specialize in. These include Network Security (such as firewalls, and intrusion prevention systems), Endpoint Security (for protecting devices such as laptops and mobile devices), Cloud Security (encompassing cloud-based applications like SaaS), Application Security (protecting web applications from attack), Data Protection (ensuring against data breaches), Identity Management/Identity Access Management (managing user identities securely), Incident Response (responding quickly when an attack occurs), Risk Analysis & Risk Management (assessing risks associated with cyber threats), Mobile Security (securing mobile platforms), Cryptography & Blockchain Technologies (encrypting data transmitted over the internet), Governance & Compliance (adhering to regulatory requirements), IoT & Automation Security(securely connecting physical devices to the internet); and Third Party Vendor Risk Management (ensuring security best practices for third-party vendors).
The training at UST runs for five calendar months. During this period, you will receive a comprehensive curriculum covering all aspects of cybersecurity, from fundamental to technical knowledge to soft skills such as communication and collaboration. After the 5-month training period, you are transitioned into an intensive 2-month interview preparation program, which provides hands-on training tailored to your specific needs and goals. This additional step has been a game changer for our trainees – most of them have found jobs within three months after completing the full program.
Furthermore, UST will still be there for you once you’re done with the training and out in the job market. We have created an alumni group of already working cybersecurity professionals who are always on the lookout to help new members of the community with any task related to their field of expertise. Our training is continuous – we strive to become more than just a school that provides technical education but an IT community where everyone feels safe and supported throughout their professional development journey.

You can do without a college degree to be successful in the IT industry. A college degree can give you an edge in the competitive world of information technology, as employers tend to prefer candidates with higher education credentials. However, what matters most is your skill and ability as a professional; having the right certifications and qualifications can often be just as valuable to employers as having a college degree. Employers are increasingly focusing on hiring employees with knowledge and experience that fit their needs rather than simply looking at educational backgrounds.
If you have missed a class, there are several ways to catch up. Firstly, all classes are recorded and available for viewing anytime, so anyone who missed the live session can watch the video recording. Second, we offer weekly revision classes to help trainees catch up on the topics covered in the classes they missed. We understand that some students may have busy schedules or other commitments, meaning they can only attend some classes. So, we strive to ensure everyone has access to all the material they need to keep up with the course. Finally, our knowledgeable instructors can always answer questions and provide additional support.
Procrastination is one of the most difficult obstacles students face during and after training. Many students begin their training enthusiastically, but as the months pass and the workload increases, they start to feel overwhelmed and need help staying motivated. This can easily lead to procrastination, in which tasks are put off and eventually forgotten or not done at all. Additionally, it can be hard for students to focus on a course that requires significant time commitments and regular study. With distractions like social media, streaming services, and
other leisure activities becoming even more accessible, it can be increasingly difficult for students to keep up with their studies. Time management is another common challenge many students face during and after training. Even though a course may only take five months to complete, those five months are still packed
with multiple assignments, deadlines, tests, presentations, lectures, tutorials, etc., all of which require intense focus and dedication. Additionally, many courses require that students spend additional hours outside of class studying or doing research to keep up with their workloads. Without effective time management techniques, such as making schedules or lists of tasks that need to be completed each day, week, or month, students can easily fall behind while trying to complete their courses.
Finally, financial considerations can also be a major obstacle for many students attempting to finish their courses. For some people, this may mean sacrificing leisure activities to save up money for tuition fees, while for others, it may mean having to look for a part-time job to have enough money at the end of the month for rent or food bills. Whatever the case, having an inadequate supply of funds can hinder a student’s ability to fully commit to finishing their course promptly simply because they are unable or unwilling to invest money into completing it successfully.

This is a viable option for those unable to make a single lump-sum payment for the entire course. At UST, we recognize that everyone has different financial situations and offer several different payment plans to meet your unique needs. We also understand that taking on a new skill set can be a big decision.
