Eligibility Policy

---

EPCYBER trains intelligence professionals, defense and government personnel, security researchers, and corporate teams responsible for understanding adversary ecosystems. We take seriously who we train and why.

The work we teach — China-focused OSINT, methodology, and access tradecraft — exists because the West needs it. The structural visibility gap between China's understanding of Western institutions and the West's understanding of China is the strategic problem of our era. Our training is built to close that gap, for the people whose job it is to do exactly that.

This policy exists to be transparent about who we serve, how we verify, and what we will not do. We believe trust is a precondition for serious work in this field, and trust starts with clarity.

• Government, federal, military, and intelligence professionals across NATO and allied nations
• Defense contractors and government services firms supporting Western missions
• Fortune 500 corporate intelligence, threat intelligence, and compliance teams
• Independent security researchers and analysts working in adjacent professional capacities
• Academic and think tank professionals in national security, foreign policy, and related fields
• Other personnel in similar categories, roles, or lines of work

For most enrollments, standard corporate or institutional email verification is sufficient. We confirm employer, role, and professional context as part of admission for our advanced and master programs.

In some cases — depending on the applicant's country of operation, employer, or stated use case — we require additional context before approving enrollment. 

We may request additional verification, references, or context from applicants based in jurisdictions where the strategic alignment of the trainee's institutional context is less clear, or where the methodology we teach could be applied in ways inconsistent with our mission or terms.

EPCYBER complies fully with US, EU, UK, and international sanctions regimes. We do not provide training, services, or access to individuals or entities subject to sanctions or embargoes administered by the relevant authorities.

EPCYBER does not partner with resellers, distributors, white-label providers, or training platforms. Every student enrolls with us directly. This is not a commercial preference. It is a quality and integrity requirement.

The work we teach should be transferred from us, with our standards intact, to the practitioners who need it.  Resellers introduce dilution, inconsistency, and accountability gaps. We also do not offer affiliate programs, commission-based referrals, or co-branded training.  Anyone offering EPCYBER training through a third-party channel is not authorized.

If you are uncertain whether you fit our enrollment criteria, contact us directly.  We approach these questions case by case and try to give clear answers quickly.  

The work matters. The people doing it matter.
