Who this is for

Certs alone don't get you hired. Every RMF job post asks for experience, and you can't get experience without the job. I hit that same wall, went through a bootcamp, and broke in. This program is that path, taught by someone who actually walked it.

It's built for career changers, veterans and military members, IT and helpdesk professionals, and anyone serious about breaking into federal cybersecurity work. You don't need a security background. You need your Saturdays and the willingness to do the work between sessions.

Your instructor

I'm Ade, a Federal Cybersecurity Engineer and Air Force reservist. I broke into RMF the same way you're about to: no federal cyber background at the start, a bootcamp, and real reps. Along the way I earned my CISSP, CompTIA Security+, and AWS certifications. Today I do the same RMF work I teach, and I built this program to be the one I wish I'd had, focused on the work that gets you hired, not slides. You might know me as cyberwithade.

The Curriculum

What you'll do

We don't do theory for eight weeks. You take one system, the Unit Readiness Tracker, from nothing to authorized, doing the same work an RMF practitioner does on the job.

  1. 01
    Week 1

    RMF foundations

    Learn how federal authorization works under NIST SP 800-37, and get introduced to the system you'll carry all the way through.

  2. 02
    Week 2

    Categorize the system

    Set impact levels, define the boundary, and document what the system actually does.

  3. 03
    Week 3

    Select security controls

    Tailor the NIST SP 800-53 baseline to your system instead of copying it wholesale.

  4. 04
    Week 4

    Implement and document

    Hands-on with STIGs and the DISA STIG Viewer, writing implementation statements that hold up.

  5. 05
    Week 5

    Assess controls

    Gather evidence, test against the assessment procedures, and write findings the way an assessor would.

  6. 06
    Week 6

    POA&Ms and communicating risk

    Turn open findings into a defensible plan, and learn to brief risk to people who don't speak in control numbers.

  7. 07
    Week 7

    Build the authorization package

    Assemble the full package that earns the ATO, the single deliverable your next employer wants to see.

  8. 08
    Week 8

    Continuous monitoring

    Keep the authorization alive after the ATO, then turn all of this into interviews.

One week mid-program is delivered async with recorded lessons, so the pace never breaks.

How it works

Live on Zoom every Saturday, 10 AM to 12 PM CST. Every session is recorded and posted inside the course, so if you miss a Saturday you catch the replay.

Between sessions you get the private student community for questions, and you keep every template and artifact you build.

What People Are Saying

  • ★ ★ ★ ★ ★

    I'd been stuck in helpdesk for four years and every RMF job wanted experience I couldn't get. Walking a system from categorization to authorization changed how I interviewed I could actually talk about the work. Two months after the cohort I had an ISSO offer.

    Nathan K

  • ★ ★ ★ ★ ★

    I had my Security+ and still couldn't get callbacks. What made the difference was leaving with real artifacts an SSP, a POA&M, the whole package. I stopped saying 'I studied RMF' and started saying 'here's a system I authorized.

    Jeff O

  • ★ ★ ★ ★ ★

    I was coming from IT support with zero federal experience and honestly thought I'd be lost. The pace worked one system, eight weeks, and by the end I could explain every step of the process in an interview. The live sessions were where it clicked for me.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • No. This is built for people breaking in.

  • Replays are posted inside the course after every session.

  • No. We'll cover which ones actually matter and when.

  • Yes. You finish with an ADELV Academy certificate of completion for your LinkedIn, backed by real work product you can walk through in interviews. It's a completion certificate, not an industry certification like Security+, and inside the program we cover which of those are worth pursuing and when.

  • Nobody can promise you a job, and you should be skeptical of anyone who does. You'll finish with real work product and the ability to walk an interviewer through the full RMF process like someone who's done it.

  • Yes, you'll see it at checkout.

  • Seats are limited, so enrollment is final once the cohort starts. If something comes up before the first session, email me.
