Please note:

The training is a CTF format, and because of that, they have a scoreboard on their website with the names of all the active students doing the training, and that board is public. The names that you see there are displayed with the format: first letter of the first name and the last name (i.e., Brian Andrew would be bandrew). Please keep this in mind when applying. 

Open to all
