Question 1

What is Teras?

Accepted Answer

Teras is an industry-grade cybersecurity training platform built specifically for Southeast Asian universities. Built on a foundation of real-world security experience, Teras combines hands-on labs, institutional-grade curriculum, and faculty support so universities can produce graduates who are both technically skilled and immediately employment-ready. We embed directly into existing degree programmes, so universities can offer rigorous cyber training without needing to hire specialist faculty.

Question 2

How is Teras different from EC-Council or SANS?

Accepted Answer

Unlike certification-focused vendors like EC-Council (CEH) or SANS, Teras provides a complete institutional platform designed to embed inside university and polytechnic programmes, not just individual certifications. We don't focus on exam passing, we focus on building capability. Teras curriculum is aligned with industry-standard cybersecurity compliance frameworks and country-specific cyber laws, includes hands-on labs in a cloud platform, provides institutional licensing by student seat, and includes faculty support and ongoing curriculum updates. Certifications are valuable, but employers need graduates who can think critically and solve real-world problems, and that is what Teras enables institutions to produce.

Question 3

What standards does the curriculum align to?

Accepted Answer

Teras curriculum is built around industry-standard cybersecurity compliance frameworks and the country-specific cyber laws that apply to your institution's region. The breadth and applicability matter more than any single framework label: graduates leave understanding both the breadth of the cyber career landscape and the specific regulatory and legal context they'll work in.

Question 4

How long does deployment take?

Accepted Answer

Typical institutional deployment takes 6–8 weeks from agreement to first student login. This includes platform configuration (learning pathways, student cohorts), curriculum customization (if needed), faculty onboarding, and IT infrastructure setup. We provide a dedicated implementation manager to guide you through each step, and we've designed the process to work in parallel where possible,while your faculty are training, we're configuring your student environment.

Question 5

What infrastructure do we need?

Accepted Answer

Teras is cloud-hosted, so you don't need to manage any servers or infrastructure on your end. Students need only a modern web browser (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge from the last 2 years) and stable internet connectivity. Faculty need the same. If you have specific security or firewall requirements, our team can work with your IT department to understand network constraints and arrange necessary access.

Question 6

Do you train our faculty?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we offer an optional Train the Trainer programme as a paid add-on service. It covers the Teras platform, curriculum structure, assessment methods, and student support tools. We also share pedagogy resources, guidance on how to teach practitioner skills, how to frame labs in real-world contexts, how to assess not just coding but critical thinking. Your faculty remain the primary instructors; we're the curriculum engine and support structure. Contact us to learn more about pricing.

Question 7

Can we customise the curriculum?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Administrators can configure learning pathways, reorder modules, create custom labs, and adjust assessment rubrics within the Teras platform. You can also add institution-specific content,case studies from your region, guest lectures from local industry, or labs tailored to your students' career goals. If you need deeper customisation, our content team can work with you to develop bespoke modules. The core curriculum is locked to maintain quality, but there's significant flexibility in how you deploy it.

Question 8

What does pricing look like?

Accepted Answer

Teras uses an institutional licensing model based on student seats and programme scope. We price per active student per year, with volume discounts for larger cohorts. A typical pricing conversation includes: how many students per year, which modules/curriculum tracks, whether you want custom content development, and how long your contract term. We're transparent about costs and happy to model different scenarios. Contact us at earnest@cfcsea.com or book a consultation to discuss a custom quote.

Question 9

Is Teras available in languages other than English?

Accepted Answer

Teras ships in 6 languages today, English, Bahasa Indonesia, Bahasa Malaysia, Vietnamese, Thai, and Khmer. The curriculum, UI, and in-lesson tutor are all localised. Additional languages are added based on institutional demand.

Question 10

How do we get started?

Accepted Answer

Start with a 30-minute platform demonstration where we walk through student experience, faculty tools, analytics, and customisation options. You'll see curriculum structure, labs, assessments, and how everything maps to frameworks. After that, we move to a partnership discussion: timeline, cohort size, modules, and next steps. Book a time at /contact or email earnest@cfcsea.com. We're usually available within 48 hours.
