NextSkillEdge's current Cyber Security Certification page describes a four-month, 100% online programme with hands-on labs and a final Capture the Flag exercise.
The public FAQ says NextSkillEdge issues the certificate.
This is a provider certificate, not a master's degree, professional licence or vendor certification.
CareerSkale should publish it only after the provider, price and refund facts are complete.

The provider should state which exercises are demonstrations, guided labs or independent assessments. A tool list does not show assessment depth.
Security tools must be used only in an authorised lab or on systems for which the learner has explicit permission. The programme should provide an acceptable-use policy and explain how the lab is isolated.
CareerSkale copy must never encourage testing a real employer, customer, website or network without written authority. Ethical-hacking language is not a substitute for legal permission.
NextSkillEdge's certificate records completion under its own standard. If the curriculum prepares learners for an external certification exam, the page must name the vendor, exam, voucher inclusion and current syllabus separately. It must not imply that completing this course automatically confers a third-party certification.
Before publication, obtain the NextSkillEdge certificate specimen, legal issuer, assessment threshold, reassessment rules and verification method.
The public page says basic IT knowledge and networking fundamentals are preferred. Applicants should also test their comfort with command-line work, problem solving and controlled technical labs.
The skills may be relevant to entry-level SOC, vulnerability, security-support or penetration-testing roles. The page must not guarantee employment, salary, interview or readiness for unsupervised professional testing.
CareerSkale must confirm price, tax, deposit, instalments, lab/software charges, exam or resit fees, cancellation terms and refund responsibility. The documents must state what happens if the provider cannot supply the advertised lab or intake.
CareerSkale may receive payment from a partner institution when a student enrols. Any applicant payment handled by CareerSkale must be governed by the final approved legal pages.
Before paying, read the approved Refund and Cancellation Policy and Terms and Conditions.
The enquiry and payment routes must remain disabled until the provider grid is complete.
