Yes, all applicants will be contacted by email during the application process.

You may only apply once per cohort. If your application is not successful, you may reapply for a future cohort as long as you still meet the eligibility requirements.

After Applying

Approved Applicants

Confirm your intentions to study in the Accelerated Cybersecurity Training Program by the deadline date stated in your offer letter. If you do not accept your Offer of Admission by the deadline date, your Offer will expire.

The registration fee is $500 and is payable online through ePly. Instructions are listed in your offer letter.

It is your responsibility to meet the admission requirements stated in your Offer of Admission by the deadline date stated in your offer letter.

Applicants on the Wait List

Being placed on a wait list

Your application is important to us. We recognize that being placed on a waiting list is very difficult and frustrating. We also realize that this may present a challenge for you in terms of making some choices in the next few weeks and months.

Due to limited space availability and competition, we are unable to offer admission to all applicants. Only those who presented the most competitive applications were selected for admission. The wait list will remain active up until the start of the cohort you applied to. If you do not hear from us by then, it means that you will not be granted admission for that cohort.

Unfortunately, there is no way to predict what will happen. Each cohort the applicant/competition pool is different. Previous cohorts are no indication of what might happen to this cohort.

By phone or email, depending on the time frame. We will contact you if a space becomes available after which an Offer of Admission will be issued.

While we hope to accommodate some, we won’t be able to accommodate all applicants on our waiting lists. We conclude the selection process at the beginning of each cohort. Our waiting lists are valid only for the current application cycle and are not transferable to another cycle. Interested applicants are required to reapply for admission to a future cohort. The number of applications received and the level of competition changes from cohort to cohort and therefore a place on a waiting list this cohort may not be reflective of a decision in a future cohort.

Non-Approved Applicants

Common reasons for denial of admission or application cancellation

Common reasons applicants are denied admission or have their applications cancelled can be found below.

Unfortunately, we do not have space to admit all qualified and interested applicants. Our program is a “limited enrolment” program, which means we can only admit specific numbers of students

Admission is based on SANS CyberTalent Aptitude Assessment scores in conjunction with interview scores and documentation provided.

Review Admission and Eligibility Requirements for details

The number and strength of applications, varies from cohort to cohort.

Unfortunately, if you do not qualify into one of the three streams outlined, you are not eligible for the Program at this time.

If you are currently enrolled in another academic program, you are not eligible for the Program at this time

Rogers Cybersecure Catalyst does not send reminders to candidates to complete their application requirements on time. If you do not complete your SANS CyberTalent Aptitude Assessment and Kira video interview assessment on time, we are unable to give further consideration to your application

We value your interest in the Accelerated Cybersecurity Training Program and realize that a denial of admission is disappointing. The following suggestions may help you gain admission in the future.

ACTP Alumni

Since 2020, we have helped over 200 individuals from diverse personal and professional backgrounds launch meaningful careers in cybersecurity. Read some of their stories below.

Soheila – Consultant – Threat Content, Deloitte

After completing her training at the ACTP in June 2021, Soheila joined Deloitte Canada. “I love working in cybersecurity because I believe cybersecurity is an important cornerstone of modern digital life and business. I am able to provide technical support for challenging cybersecurity and data protection issues by continuing education, developing new skills and intelligence strategies.”

For as long as Soheila can remember, she has been fascinated by numbers and finding relationships between them. “Discovering differences and/or any similarities between numbers has been satisfying,” she says. “I also enjoy finding hidden artifacts and figuring out puzzles.” This interest in numbers led her on a diverse career path that has touched statistics, data analysis, design and customer service before eventually leading her to cybersecurity. “We live in an ever-increasing digital world, and I value information security and the importance of personal data.”

Soheila – Consultant – Threat Content, Deloitte

Santosh — Manager, Cybersecurity and Compliance, Centennial College

Today, Santosh works at Centennial College in Scarborough, where his areas of expertise include cyber awareness and training, project coordination, security monitoring, incident response, and risk analysis. “As our day-to-day lives become more intertwined with the digital world, we face new security challenges. Cybersecurity as a career has given me the opportunity to build our defenses and stay ahead of threats, while sharing my learning to help people stay safe online.”

Santosh, an ATCP 2020 graduate of the RBC New Careers in Cyber stream, finds himself drawing on skills he learned from his prior career – both when learning cybersecurity skills and teaching them. “Working in Incident Management provided me a platform to see IT from a holistic point of view, which helped tremendously in quickly understanding my new environment,” he says. “The experience breaking down complex IT issues has allowed me to communicate security concepts more effectively to students and faculty who may be non-technical.”

Santosh — Manager, Cybersecurity and Compliance, Centennial College

Erik — Threat Researcher, eSentire

Erik graduated from the ACTP’s New Careers in Cyber stream in November 2020, and now works as a Threat Researcher for eSentire. No matter where he works, he’s driven by a desire to help make the world a safer place. “I decided to pursue a career in cybersecurity because of my love for technology and my deep-rooted need to protect and empower the vulnerable. I want to do everything I can to ensure nobody feels helpless in the face of new breaches surfacing.”

Erik began his career in social work as a Resident Worker, where he helped homeless populations and people struggling with addictions. While this may not sound like a traditional route to a cybersecurity career, Erik finds that his crisis management skills are transferable. “My previous experience helps me excel in cybersecurity by honing my ability to remain calm with a crystal-clear mind during a crisis,” he says. “It also taught me the value and power of communication through written reports and difficult conversations.

Erik — Threat Researcher, eSentire

Dar — Triage Security Engineer, Arctic Wolf

Since graduating from the ACTP in 2020, Dar joined Arctic Wolf – first as a Security Analyst, and now she is a Triage Security Engineer. “I quickly grew to recognize the significant need for trained professionals and saw this path as my opportunity to bring a fresh perspective and diversified skill set to help make an impact in a hands-on way. “

Dar had over 10 years of marketing experience before pursuing cybersecurity, with a digital marketing specialization that kept her focused on increased website traffic, sales leads, and brand awareness. “I have learned to resolve complex problems and achieve desired results through analysis, creative thinking, team collaboration and persistence,” she says. “I’ve also worked in an industry that is constantly evolving and have learned to be adaptable and forward-thinking.”
