About Scholar’sEdge Academy Scholar’sEdge Academy is a skills-and-internship institute in J. P. Nagar, Bengaluru. Every program pairs 3–5 months of live, mentor-led training with a 2-month internship on real projects. Our promise to students is simple: you’ll leave able to show what you can do, not just with a certificate. We’re early, we’re building fast, and the trainer we hire now will shape how we teach cybersecurity.

The role

You’ll train students to work the way a real Security Operations Centre (SOC) team works: watching alerts, investigating suspicious activity, responding to incidents and writing explicit reports. You’ll also teach them to secure cloud accounts, where most company data now lives. Everything is taught through hands-on labs, with AI tools used the way security teams use them today: to speed up investigations, never trusted blindly.

You’ll be the face of our cybersecurity course, in the classroom, in demo classes and in short videos on our social pages.

What you’ll do

Teach

- Deliver live, hands-on classes (3 hours a day) covering networking, operating systems, security fundamentals, SOC operations, incident response and cloud security. Spend most of the time in labs, not on slides.
- Run Saturday labs, free weekend workshops and free demo classes for prospective students and parents.
- Teach beginners from zero, including non-CS graduates and IT support staff moving into security.

Build proof with students

- Guide every student through 4–6 lab projects and a capstone. Examples: a home SOC lab with a SIEM, a phishing investigation, brute-force detection from logs, an incident report, and an AWS or Azure security audit.
- Make sure every student leaves with a GitHub portfolio of lab write-ups and a TryHackMe or similar profile showing completed rooms.
- Review work every week. Give written feedback, require fixes and track each student’s progress.
- Mentor students during the 2-month internship: plan real project work,



run daily stand-ups and sign off the deliverables.

Keep the course current

- Help update the syllabus, labs, assignments and quizzes as new threats and tools appear.
- Run mock interviews for SOC Analyst (L1) roles, and help students prepare for entry-level certifications.

Be the face of the course

- Appear on camera in 1–2 short teaching videos a week. Scripts and editing support are provided. Examples: “Spot the phishing mail in 30 seconds” or “What a SOC analyst sees on screen.”
- Answer course questions honestly, and never promise jobs or salaries.
- Teach ethics first: security skills are used only on systems you own or have written permission to test.

Who we’re looking for
- Freshers, or minimum 1 year of experience in a SOC, security, network or IT support role. Internships count.
- Freshers must show hands-on proof: a home lab, TryHackMe or Hack The Box progress, CTF results, lab write-ups on GitHub or a blog, or a security certification.
- Has taught or mentored others, as a trainer, tutor, teaching assistant or college security club lead. Not required, but a strong plus.
