Is This Right for Me?

The Complete Career Transformation.

The Cerberus Journey is for career changers who want everything — cloud architecture expertise, AWS security credentials, and the emerging multi-cloud AI security skills that are now defining the most lucrative roles in the industry. Three stages designed to be taken in sequence, each building directly on the last.

You'll start from zero with AWS Cloud Practitioner, progress through Solutions Architect and AWS Security Specialist, then complete Stage 3 — Multi-Cloud AI Threat Defence — the qualification that puts you in a different conversation entirely when it comes to salary and career ceiling.

The Three Stages

AWS Architecture → Cloud Security → AI Threat Defence.

Each stage is a self-contained qualification milestone. You can enter the job market after Stage 1 or Stage 2 — or complete all three for the strongest possible career position.

01
Stage 1 · AWS Architecture
Cloud Practitioner → Solutions Architect Associate
Your journey starts here — no prior experience needed. We build your cloud foundations from the ground up: how cloud infrastructure works, how to design and deploy secure AWS environments, and how to pass two of the most recognised AWS certifications in the industry. Exam vouchers for Cloud Practitioner and Solutions Architect Associate both included.
AWS Cloud Practitioner AWS Solutions Architect Associate
02
Stage 2 · Cloud Security
AWS Security Specialist
With your AWS architecture foundations in place, Stage 2 goes deep into cloud security. You'll learn to secure AWS environments at the enterprise level — identity, data protection, infrastructure security, and incident response — and qualify as an AWS Security Specialist. One of the most sought-after credentials in the industry. Exam voucher included.

03
Stage 3 · Multi-Cloud AI Security
Multi-Cloud & AI Threat Defence
The stage that sets the Cerberus Journey apart. AI is reshaping cyber security faster than any previous wave of technology. Stage 3 takes you beyond AWS — into Azure and Google Cloud security practices, then deep into AI-powered threat defence. You’ll leave with the cross-platform knowledge that separates senior security professionals from the rest and puts you in the most lucrative positions in the industry.

FAQ

Common Questions.

None. The Cerberus Journey begins at Cloud Practitioner level — AWS’s most beginner-friendly qualification. No CompTIA background, no prior cloud knowledge, no technical degree required. If you’re starting from scratch, this is designed for you.
The Cloud Security route takes you to AWS Security Specialist level. Cerberus goes further — adding a third stage in Multi-Cloud AI Threat Defence across Azure, GCP, and AI security. It’s the difference between being cloud-secure and being at the frontier of where the industry is heading. Three stages, three distinct skill sets, one complete career transformation.
Senior Cloud Security Engineer, AI Security Specialist, Multi-Cloud Architect, and Cloud Security Consultant are among the roles Cerberus qualifies you for. Junior cloud roles typically start at £45,000+, and after six months of hands-on experience it is not uncommon to be earning £65,000+. For those who choose to contract independently, Cloud Security Engineers regularly command £300+ per day.
Yes. We aim to build long-term relationships with every student we work with. Once you qualify, we stay in touch — whether that means pointing you towards further certifications, helping you prep for interviews, or advising on your next career step as you grow. This industry rewards those who keep moving forward, and we’re here for the long haul.
A three-year cyber degree can cost £27,000–£45,000 in tuition alone — before living costs, lost earnings, and three years out of the workforce. TekTut helps you attain industry-recognised certifications in months, not years, at a fraction of the cost.
