What You'll Do Here
As an Instructor with Infosec, you’ll have the opportunity to share your real life experience with the Information Security and Information Technology world.

Our team of instructors are friendly, determined people who love what they do and have fun doing it!
You’ll be the face of Infosec and part of our growing team of full time instructors. Our instructors teach about thirty-five weeks out of the year, and spend time working from home, creating course material. You’ll be delivering classes both online and in person as well as giving your expertise to aid our content creation team. Your mission is to educate our students with all your worldly knowledge and prepare them for the respective certification exam.
