Please feel free to let me know if you have any suggestions for improvements or feedback on things you'd like to see inside Subverted Academy.
This platform is an exceptional resource for learning, offering in-depth insights and interactive experiences that cater to curious minds. I highly recommend this platform for its ability to break down complex concepts into engaging and easy-to-understand content, making it perfect for anyone looking to learn and grow.
As part of the BETA roll-out I already completed 4 Courses and 3 Challenges, aiming to obtain multiple badges. Being a Electrical engineer, not knowing much about Cybersecurity or even IT in general. I've been using this platform to learn stuff outside my field of expertise, and I'm blown away by the level of detail and insight provided. It's been a game-changer for my understanding of the subject.
The amount of knowledge available relative to the cost of the product is a no-brainer for any person in the industry to enhance knowledge and keep up to date.
@sarica_swart Thank you for the amazing review and constant support as one of our early Rebels!!!
@sarica_swart Thanks Sarica for your constant support and feedback.
This is such an amazing message to read and fully aligned with why we built the it - empowering anyone with a willingness to learn with the place to do so.
Also a massive congratulations on all the progress you've been making in the Academy.
Hi Product Hunt🚀
I am a co-founder and maker of Subverted Academy alongside Ulrich!
I am extremely passionate about two things education and Cybersecurity. Finding a new way to bring those passions together has been a long hard fought journey but we are extremely excited to be launching on Product Hunt today and equally to be officially out of Beta.
Please send us some feedback, and let us know what you think a platform like this needs!
We have lots of exciting ideas of whats next but it would great to hear yours and build a platform you would love to learn on!
@jason_spencer5 It has been amazing to build and launch this alongside you.
Your passion for enabling others is inspiring and now we get to share it with the world.
Onwards and upwards from here. :)
I love the interface - and seems really easy to know what you’re doing and track your progress. I also started the trail and can see the content is really in-depth. well done! Any plans for an AD certification thats my focus at the moment.
@lauren_barnard2 Hi Lauren,
Thank you for the wonderful feedback and excellent question.
Yes, AD certification is planned for Q2 of this year. (With some other exciting updates to go along with it!)
Appreciate the support!
@lauren_barnard2 @jason_spencer5 +1 on the AD exploitation certification path.
@lauren_barnard2
Glad you like the interface - we spent quite a lot of time fine tuning the UI to be supportive of learning and to help keep people motivated. As @jason_spencer5 said we have a lot more coming soon so stay tuned. :)
Thanks for the support!
I joined the learning platform shortly after launch, and it’s been impressive to see how solid the platform has become, not just the layout, but the content as well. The founders are clearly deeply knowledgeable in cybersecurity, and that experience really shows in how the content is structured and explained.
What I like most is that I’m genuinely learning things here that were missed or glossed over on other platforms. The material doesn’t feel rushed or shallow — it’s practical, well thought out, and clearly built by people who actually understand the field.
The value for money is excellent for what you get, especially considering the quality and depth of the content. There’s already a lot of top-grade material, and I’m still learning a ton as I work through it.
I’ll definitely continue supporting Subverted and recommend it to anyone serious about improving their cybersecurity fundamentals and practical understanding.
Thanks so much for the amazing feedback @crypthulhu .
Your support as one of our earliest Rebel users has been immensely appreciated.
Thanks for the continued support, feedback and helping us stay committed to improving everyday.
@crypthulhu Thank you so much for your constant support Pieter and generous review you have left for us here.
We will make sure to continue working hard to make more and better content!
Your feedback has been invaluable to us and we cant wait to continue building this platform with your support.

Great idea - can be dense topic and gamification could make it more digestible - congrats on launch!
@daniele_packard Thanks Daniele!
I agree cybersecurity is such a broad topic with so many areas where skills can be developed. We are trying our best through our Academy to make it easier to digest, easier to help people find an area they are truly passionate about and help them dive deep in that focus area with the gamification being a motivating driver.
Thanks for your support!
@daniele_packard Hi Daniele,
Thank you for the feedback!
We are looking at adding more gamification in the coming months - specifically around labs and day streaks - do you have any extra ideas you think would help make the content feel easier to digest?
We're also looking at adding short form and long form video content to aid in the learning process⚡
Thank you!
Been having a play around this morning; the labs look really interesting. How were you able to embed a terminal inside your lessons?
Congrats on the launch ⭐
Hi Boston.
Glad you gave it a shot and found the labs interesting.
We have spent a long time to build out our own fully managed simulation system which allows us to embed our challenges inside our lesson content. Thus empowering you to practice as your working through the content.
@jason_spencer5 will be able to probably tell you more in-depth about our innovative challenge solutions.
Thanks so much - really appreciate the support.
@diehond Hi Boston!
Thank you for the message and playing on our new platform!
Quite a bit of blood and sweat went into that, so I appreciate you noticed that feature 😂
We created several simulation engines that have allowed us to control the environment and terminal. What this provides more than anything else is guided learning.
Reckon we should do a video soon describing our lab implementation?
@diehond @jason_spencer5 +1 from my side to us sharing more on how we innovated in our Academy to make the experience better for our users. Thanks Boston for the question, we're already discussing how we can share more on this.
