VISIT OUR CAMPUS
We believe that the environment where you learn is as important as the curriculum itself. Our Austin campus is designed to mimic the high-stakes atmosphere of a modern Security Operations Center (SOC) and Network Operations Center (NOC).
Public tours of our training facility are conducted every Tuesday and Thursday at 4:00 PM. During the tour, you will have the opportunity to see our hardware labs, observe a live cohort session, and meet with Marcus Thorne or one of our lead instructors. We encourage prospective students to visit the campus to get a tactile sense of the 'Digital Smithy' and the rigorous standards we maintain.
Our campus is located at 823 Congress Ave, right in the heart of downtown Austin. This location was specifically chosen to keep our students immersed in the tech ecosystem. Being surrounded by the headquarters of major tech companies serves as a constant reminder of the goal they are working toward.
PARKING & ACCESS
Validated parking is available for all scheduled campus tours at the Congress Plaza Garage. Please bring your ticket to the 4th-floor reception for validation. For those using public transit, we are located within two blocks of the Capital MetroRail Downtown Station and multiple bus lines. When you arrive at the building, please check in with security at the main lobby desk; they will provide you with a temporary visitor badge and direct you to the elevators for the 4th-floor suite.
