About CyberTekie
CyberTekie is an online cybersecurity learning platform built around one idea: you should leave every course able to do something useful, not just recite it. We help learners build the practical skills employers actually need through guided learning paths, hands-on exercises, and practitioner-led instruction.
CyberTekie is an A4C Prod company.
Why we exist
Too many people trying to break into cybersecurity, or grow inside it, end up collecting disconnected courses and still wondering what to learn next. CyberTekie replaces that guesswork with structured learning paths, so you always know where you are headed and why each step matters.
Cybersecurity is not a spectator sport. Our courses turn concepts into decisions, investigations, configurations, assessments, and deliverables you can discuss in an interview and use on the job.
How we teach
📘
Learn
Clear instruction, with every term explained in plain language and grounded in how security work actually happens inside real organizations.
🛠️
Practice
Real-world application through guided labs, practical exercises, and case studies. In our GRC course, for example, you step into the role of GRC analyst for Kestrel Bay Lending, a fictional consumer lender, and work from its contracts, policies, interview notes, and security evidence.
🚀
Advance
Career momentum through projects that produce portfolio evidence: work products you can walk an interviewer through and explain with confidence.

Meet the Founder and Lead Instructor
Dr. Yemi Akere
CyberTekie is led by Dr. Yemi Akere, a cybersecurity practitioner, educator, and U.S. Navy veteran with 12+ years in cybersecurity. Yemi works as a Qualified Security Assessor (QSA) and a virtual CISO (vCISO), and holds the CISSP, CISA, CDPSE, Associate CCISO, ECSA, and CCSFP credentials.
Yemi helps organizations assess risk, strengthen security programs, and translate technical findings into decisions executives and boards can act on. That real-world experience shapes every CyberTekie course, connecting established security principles with the realities of modern organizations.
A note from Yemi
I built CyberTekie because I have seen talented people work hard, complete course after course, and still feel unsure how to apply what they learned. As both a cybersecurity practitioner and educator, I believe learning should lead to confidence, capability, and work you can actually demonstrate.
My goal is to make complex security concepts clear, connect them to the realities of modern organizations, and give learners opportunities to practice the kinds of decisions cybersecurity professionals make every day.
Whether you are entering the field, changing direction, or strengthening skills you already have, CyberTekie is designed to help you move forward with purpose.
You will not simply study cybersecurity here. You will learn it, practice it, and build evidence that you can do the work.
