Our Story

Founded in 2010 by Dr. Sarah Mitchell, a former NSA cybersecurity expert, 1337Academy was born from a simple observation: the cybersecurity industry desperately needed skilled professionals, but traditional education wasn't keeping pace.

What started as weekend workshops for aspiring ethical hackers has grown into a global platform serving over 50,000 students. We've trained security professionals now working at Google, Microsoft, Amazon, and government agencies worldwide.

Our approach is different. We don't just teach theory. Every course is built around hands-on labs, real-world scenarios, and practical skills that employers actually need. Our instructors aren't just teachers—they're active practitioners working in the field.

Today, we're proud to be recognized as one of the leading cybersecurity training providers globally, but we're just getting started.
