CT4.ACADEMY
Master the CT4™ methodology at your pace, on your terms. Twelve self-paced courses. Six frameworks. One transformation.
Learning Designed Around the Book
CT4.ACADEMY isn't a generic security training platform. Every course maps directly to a chapter, framework, or methodology stage from "Cybersecurity Transformation" — designed by the author for readers, practitioners, and aspiring CT4 partners.
Three Learning Tracks · Twelve Courses
Start with Foundation. Specialize through Framework deep dives. Prepare for certification. Each track builds on the last — so you can move from curious reader to credentialed practitioner without leaving the platform.
Foundation Track
Required for everyone. Establishes shared vocabulary and the diagnostic mindset before specialization.
- 📘 CT4-101: The CT4 Mission & SMB Crisis
- 📘 CT4-102: Reading the Book Methodically
- 📘 CT4-103: Diagnosis Before Prescription
Deep Dive Track
One course per framework. Detailed methodology, real-world application, downloadable templates and scoring tools.
A Proven Learning Cycle
Every CT4.ACADEMY course follows the same five-stage cycle. Watch, work, apply, validate, master.
Watch
Short video lectures (8-15 min) on core concepts. No 90-minute death-by-PowerPoint sessions. Get the idea, then move.
Work
Workbook exercises with each module. Apply the concept to a fictional SMB scenario or your own organization. Real worksheets, not multiple choice.
Apply
Use downloadable templates from CT4.TOOLS on a live engagement (your own org or a sandbox). The methodology only sticks once it's used.
Validate
Quizzes, peer review in the cohort forum, and instructor feedback on your worksheets. Catch misunderstandings before they propagate.
Master
Capstone challenge — apply the framework to a real-world case study. Your submission becomes part of your portfolio for cert applications.
Start Free. Scale as You Grow.
