Everything you need to decide with confidence.

Members are already shipping real security tools (see what they've built above). StationX has been teaching cyber security since 1999, to more than half a million students. And there's no clock: if you haven't proven you can design and build your own working solutions by the end of the year, the programme stays open until you do, at no extra cost.

You can get a full refund at any point before you start. Starting means signing your programme agreement, getting your account, or having your onboarding call. The deposit is the exception: it secures your seat, so it isn't refundable. Once you've started there's no money-back guarantee; instead the programme stays open at no extra cost until you can design and build your own working solutions. There's no job guarantee: the salaries we show are advertised salaries, not promises.

A minimum of three focused hours a week, designed to work alongside a full-time job. The intensive year runs about twelve months, and support continues after that until you get there.

No. The AI does the building. You direct it, architect the solution, decide what to ship and check it works. Many of the most successful members have no development background, and the foundations are taught from the ground up.

No. A cyber security or IT background is a big advantage and we recommend it, but it isn't required. People have started from zero, and there's a full curriculum for bringing you up to speed from the ground up.

No. It's called the AI Master's Program, but it isn't an accredited university degree. It's a one-year programme that builds AI-driven engineering skills, with the StationX SX-AIE certification earned by building.

You do. If your work uses StationX material, such as the HAL Vault packages, that part stays under its licence: it's licensed to you personally, you can modify it and build on top of it, but you can't republish it or sell services that run it for others. For a team or company licence, email contact@stationx.net.

Yes. The Career Toolkit has resources on applying for jobs and sorting out your CV and resume, and you get CV, LinkedIn and resume support during the intensive year, plus Career Matchmaker PRO. We can't promise a job, but you won't be doing the search alone.

You can, and you'll get working software out. But a chat window raises the floor, not the ceiling: what it produces is a prototype with flaws you can't see, and in security a flaw you can't see is a breach. AI-Driven Engineering is the discipline that turns it into something you can trust.

Yes. It's $8,500 as a single payment, or three payments of $3,000. A $1,000 deposit secures your seat, so you don't lose your place while a cohort is filling up, and it gives you time to choose your payment plan. You start once $3,000 has been paid; the rest follows the plan you agreed.

That's normal for a decision this size. Partners are welcome, and encouraged, to join the call with Robert. You can also share the two-page summary with your partner, or send the business case to your manager or finance team. Both are linked at the top of this page.

The programme is built around capability, not job-market forecasts. Whatever happens to hiring, you walk out with a working security solution you've built, a capability the market pays for, the Inner Circle around you, and the choice of how to use all three.

Some of it. The cyber security fundamentals are freely available, and you can teach yourself the basics. What you can't get for free is AI-Driven Engineering itself, the structure around it, and the people: your Success Manager, your mastermind group and the Inner Circle.
