Four ways into cyber security in Bangladesh
Each fits a different person. The right one depends on whether you need a degree, a classroom, a certification or a portfolio.
- Route 1
A degree in cyber security or computing
Fits when You are starting out and want a BS, BSc or BIT for the long run.
Watch for Three to four years, and much of the first year is general computing before the security work starts.
- Route 2
A training institute course
Fits when You learn best in a classroom in Dhaka, and a certificate matters to you.
Watch for Ask how many hours are hands-on labs, and whether you attack and defend real systems or mostly watch.
- Route 3
An industry certification on your own
Fits when You are disciplined and want a credential employers search for, such as Security+, CEH or ISC2 CC.
Watch for A certification proves you know the syllabus, not that you have done the work; pair it with projects.
- Route 4
A live online bootcamp
Fits when You are working or freelancing and want security projects you can show, taught live after office hours.
Watch for Square1 Ai's bootcamps are new: the first cohorts have not graduated, so there is no placement rate yet.

How much does a cyber security course cost in Bangladesh?
A Square1 Ai live cyber security bootcamp costs US$150 (about BDT 17,100) and a self-paced course starts at US$30. You pay in US dollars, so the taka figure moves a little with the exchange rate. Other providers' fees are in the table above.
Are there free cyber security courses in Bangladesh?
Yes. Square1 Ai's certification practice is free: practice questions, timed mock exams and study plans for Security+, ISC2 CC, SC-900, CySA+ and CISSP, with a free 20-question diagnostic for each. The live bootcamps and self-paced courses are paid.
What does a cyber security analyst earn in Bangladesh?
Glassdoor puts the median base pay for a cyber security analyst in Dhaka at BDT 77,292 a month, with the middle half between BDT 31,458 and BDT 121,563. A cyber security engineer's median is BDT 25,833.
Which cyber security certification should I start with?
If you are new, ISC2 Certified in Cybersecurity (CC) or CompTIA Security+ are the usual first certifications; Microsoft SC-900 suits people heading into Microsoft 365 and Azure work. Square1 Ai's free practice for each tells you where you stand with a 20-question diagnostic before you study.
Can I learn cyber security online in Bangladesh while working full time?
Yes. Live sessions run on weekday evenings from 6:00 PM Bangladesh time, with full-day sessions at weekends. The work between sessions is graded by Nova, Square1 Ai's AI tutor, whenever you submit it. Plan for about fifteen hours a week across the twelve weeks.
Will the bootcamp help me get a job or freelance work?
There is no job guarantee and no placement rate, because the first cohorts have not graduated. You leave with 10 projects a client or employer can open and run, a recorded defence of your work, and a hiring plan worked through with your instructor.
Where is Square1 Ai based?
Square 1 AI (Pvt) Ltd is registered in Sri Lanka and teaches online, so you join from anywhere in Bangladesh. Bangladesh time is half an hour ahead of Sri Lanka, so the 5:30 PM Colombo start is 6:00 PM for you.
How do I pay from Bangladesh?
Reserving a seat is free and takes your name, email and country. Nothing is charged until the start date is confirmed and you say yes. Payment is by card in US dollars through a Sri Lankan bank gateway, so you need a card that works for international payments, such as a dual-currency card; ask your bank if yours is local only.
