    Empower your students with hands-on cybersecurity practice without building your own labs! As a cybersecurity instructor, you may be on the lookout for easily accessible ways for students to apply what they learned in class. CompTIA and the National Cyber League (NCL) present the CIN NCL Forum, providing information on the NCL bi-annual all-virtual competition, along with tutorials, webinars, blogs, lesson plans, how to use NCL as labwork, and connecting with the NCL Coaching Community. NCL coaches, feel free to share your NCL experience in this Forum!

    NCL, powered by Cyber Skyline, helps high school and college students improve their cybersecurity capabilities in 9 categories, which are mapped to CompTIA’s certifications. The categories are: Open Source Intelligence, Cryptography, Password Cracking, Log Analysis, Network Traffic Analysis, Forensics, Web Application Exploitation, Scanning, and Enumeration & Exploitation.

    Participating instructors and coaches receive free access to the NCL practice gym. The cost for students is only $35 per season, which includes access to the practice Gym, an optional Preseason Game, an Individual Game, an optional Team Game (up to 7 people), Slack channel, and a Scouting Report (which provides details on strengths and areas for improvement to prepare for a career in cybersecurity).

    Registration for the Fall 2021 Season opens August 23, along with the practice Gym. The Preseason Game runs October 11-18; Individual Game is October 22-24; Team Game is November 5-7. Add a registration reminder to your calendar at this link.
