Frequently asked questions

Do I need a degree to get into cybersecurity?

For most technical roles, no — hands-on skill, home-lab projects, write-ups and recognised certifications carry real weight. Some employers and regions still prefer a degree, but this planner focuses on demonstrable skills and the certs hiring managers actually search for.

Are the free resources really enough to get hired?

To build genuine, hireable skill — yes. Platforms like TryHackMe, PortSwigger Web Security Academy, Blue Team Labs, CyberDefenders and the YouTube channels listed can take you a long way for free. Certifications are usually where money goes, and even then one well-chosen cert often suffices for a first role.

How current is the certification information?

Certification names and paths are reviewed periodically — see the “content reviewed” date in the footer. Exam prices and free-program availability change frequently, so cost is shown as a rough tier ($ / $$ / $$$) and you should always confirm the current price on the provider’s official site before paying.

How long will it actually take me?

It depends on your weekly hours and where you’re starting from. The planner scales every phase to your real availability and gives a realistic range plus a total study-hours estimate. Treat the timeline as a compass, not a deadline.

Is CYBERPATH affiliated with Hack The Box, TryHackMe or INE?

No. CYBERPATH is an independent, free planner. It links to those platforms (and many others) purely as learning resources; it isn’t sponsored by or affiliated with any of them.

Do you collect my data?

No. There’s no tracking, no account and no server. Your answers stay in your browser (and inside the share link, if you choose to copy one). Your phase progress is saved only on your own device.
