4,000+ graduates. 93% hired within 6 months. 200+ hiring partners. One admission standard: we only take you if we believe we can place you.
You know the pattern, because you may be living it: evenings spent on free tutorials that never add up to a job. A bookmarked folder of "roadmaps". Maybe a cheap video course, 8% finished. Meanwhile, every month in the wrong career costs you the salary difference — for the roles we train, that's $3,000–$5,000 of lost income per month. The most expensive option isn't training. It's staying where you are.
Not because the content is wrong — because nothing holds you to it, nobody corrects you, and no employer is waiting at the end. Hiring managers don't interview watched playlists. They interview people with a year of documented work, certifications, a tested portfolio, and someone credible vouching for them. That is precisely — and only — what we build.
A full year of live teaching. 50 live classes, not recordings — taught exclusively by professionals who have had successful careers at top universities and companies, every one with at least 20 years of experience.
A mentor on your side, weekly. One-to-one, all year: reviewing your work, correcting your course, running your mock interviews.
Technology no other school has. Our proprietary, custom-built platform uses machine learning to adapt every module to how you individually learn, with spaced-repetition scheduling so nothing you pay to learn is forgotten by interview day. It was built in-house, by our own engineers, for exactly one job — and refined on the learning data of 4,000+ graduates. No off-the-shelf LMS can replicate it.
A hiring funnel, not a job board. Developed company by company over years: 200+ partner organisations that recruit from our cohorts, with introductions made for you and support until the contract is signed.
More than 4,000 graduates. 93% hired within 6 months of graduating. 200+ hiring partners. Cohorts capped at 18 so mentorship never dilutes — which is why every cohort before September 2026 sold out.
"I was working in retail with zero tech background. Eight months after starting the Cybersecurity track I signed my first SOC analyst contract. The mentorship made the difference."
Two veteran engineers and a university lecturer — 60+ combined years at top companies and institutions — kept watching capable people bounce off the tech industry while employers begged for talent. Derry Training began as a single cybersecurity cohort of 12, taught live from day one, named for the city whose Peace Bridge became our symbol: built to connect two sides that needed each other.
The model proved out: live teaching, weekly mentorship, and an insistence on declining applicants we couldn't place. Our first hiring partners signed on because our graduates arrived job-ready — and stayed.
We built what no off-the-shelf tool offered: proprietary ML-driven software that adapts each module to the individual learner, with spaced-repetition scheduling baked in. Completion rates, already high, climbed again.
Cohorts began selling out months ahead. We held places at 18 per track anyway — mentorship quality is the product, and we don't dilute it.
Today Derry Training runs nine career tracks into the highest-paying roles in IT and cybersecurity, admits students from anywhere in the world, and still starts every relationship the same way: a 10-minute honest conversation.
Admission is by application, and we decline applicants we don't believe we can place. If your circumstances, availability or goals don't fit, we will tell you on your 10-minute call — before you pay, not after. A 93% hire rate is only possible with the discipline to turn revenue away. That discipline is the product.
Derry Training has taken no venture capital — ever. That's deliberate. Investor-funded schools must show growth every quarter, and quality is usually what gets traded for it: bigger cohorts, cheaper instructors, recorded content sold as teaching. Because we answer to students rather than shareholders, our profits are reinvested where they compound — the adaptive platform, the mentor bench, the hiring funnel — and cohorts stay capped at 18 even when demand says we could triple them.
Every enrolment carries a 7-day money-back guarantee (less the non-refundable deposit), and the 6-month job guarantee: graduate without landing a job within 6 months, and you get free admission to another track of your choice.
Applicants accepted from anywhere in the world — all classes run on Central Standard Time (CST, UTC−6). Minimum age: 16. All prices in US Dollars (USD); all payments are taken in USD. Three financing plans, including 50% deposit + weekly payments. Women-Only cohorts on every track.
We design bespoke programmes for companies — security upskilling, cloud capability, AI readiness — scoped and priced individually for every engagement. Write to admin@derrytraining.com.
No pitch, no obligation. Ten minutes with an advisor to confirm whether a track fits you — and whether you fit the cohort.
