My journey to pivot into cybersecurity with an online certification hit a major roadblock when I was drafted onto a critical federal contract at my defense job, a project that required a top-secret clearance review and subsequent lockdown in a secure facility with no external internet access for six weeks. This unavoidable professional duty meant my asynchronous cybersecurity course, which I had paid for upfront, would be completely unattended during a crucial period with multiple practical labs due. Rather than accept a total loss, I searched for a complete solution and found a service where I could hire a professional to take my online course; before my secure deployment, I provided the syllabus and login, and their certified cybersecurity expert seamlessly completed all modules, labs, and the final exam, earning the certification for me while I fulfilled my essential, off-grid national security work.
