Tech education is loud. This isn't.
Most beginner content is shouting gurus, dense walls of text and hustle culture. Tech Two Forty is the opposite: one calm path from zero to a real, employable skill set.
Overwhelmed at zero
You want into tech but every tutorial assumes knowledge you don't have, and every influencer is selling a sprint you don't have time for.
One visual, self paced path
Short, practical lessons you can do in evenings and weekends. Built for busy, nonlinear and neurodivergent brains, because that's how mine works too.
Real, employable capability
Actual Cloud Security & DevSecOps skills, mapped to real industry roles, with a portfolio of projects you can show a hiring manager.
Two minutes on what this is, from me
Ten modules. One path.
Every module is visual and hands on. You build real things from the first week, not after a hundred hours of theory.
Starting Point
Security can feel overwhelming when you don't know where to begin. What is an SSH key? What is the OSI model? I cover the fundamentals that everything else builds on.
Linux Foundations
What is Linux and why does it matter in security? Deploy and secure a Linux server from scratch. No prior Linux experience needed.
Python Automation
Using AI assisted coding tools, learn the fundamentals of Python and build on them to automate real security tasks. No coding background required.
Cloud & AWS Security
Never touched the cloud before? No problem. Build a secure AWS environment and understand exactly what is happening behind the scenes.
Terraform
Non negotiable in modern Cloud Security. Create and manage infrastructure safely using Infrastructure as Code. No more manual clicking in consoles.
Docker
Containers are everywhere. Understand what they are, how they work, and how to protect containerised applications using Docker security fundamentals.
CI/CD Pipelines
Learn how modern DevOps workflows actually function, then add automated security checks to real pipelines so vulnerable code never reaches production.
Security Benchmarks
Understand industry benchmarks like CIS and put them into practice with real tools like AWS Security Hub. Learn how they connect to GRC, so you know not just what to fix but why.
AI Systems Security
AI is being wired into everything, cloud environments included. Understand how AI systems are deployed, where the risks live, and how to secure them.
Git & Collaboration
Master Git and learn to work like a professional in a real team. Tie the entire pipeline together in a structured, portfolio ready project.
The curriculum above is what I am building. The topics and projects are set; small details may shift as I record.
Then everything you need to land the job.
Career path template
A clear roadmap: which skills to build first, how to sequence your projects, and what roles you're realistically targeting at each stage.
CV and portfolio template
How to document your projects properly, what to put on your CV and what to cut, and how to explain architecture decisions with confidence.
Hirable portfolio projects
Exactly what hiring managers look for, how to structure your projects, and how to communicate impact so recruiters take you seriously.
Certificate of completion
Finish the course and you get a certificate with a verifiable ID. Proof for employers, and for yourself, that you finished what you started.
This course is not for everyone.
You're about to trust me with £159 and your evenings. So here's the truth about who this is built for, and who should skip it.
This is for you if
- You're starting from zero, or changing careers into tech
- You have a job, a family, or both, and need self paced learning
- You have ADHD or dyslexia and most courses don't work for you
- You'd rather build real projects than memorise theory
It's not for you if
- You want cramming material for a specific certification exam
- You need a job in four weeks, no course can honestly promise that
- You already work in Cloud Security and want advanced content
Built by someone who needed it to exist.
W J Pearce
I built Tech Two Forty because the road into Cloud Security was unnecessarily lonely and tough. It didn't have to be.
Eight years ago I was lost. Now I'm a Senior Cloud Security Engineer. I'm also dyslexic, and most tech education just didn't work for how my brain works. Things only clicked when I found a clearer, more practical way to learn.
So that's what I built. Tech Two Forty is neurodivergent friendly, designed with ADHD and dyslexia in mind, but really it's for anyone who wants learning to feel simpler, calmer and more human.
You've got this. Let's go.
This course isn't out yet. Here's my track record.
Tech Two Forty launches in November, so these reviews are for my previous work: Tech One Twenty, my course with over 2,000 students, and Cyber Notes, my study notes. Same teaching style, same person, new course.

I have learned a lot just from your TikTok posts but all this easy to read and understand content is just too good not to subscribe to. Keep up the good content!
Aidan K H Denner
As an Infrastructure Manager who has focused on People it has shocked me how far behind my knowledge and skillset has fallen. Your posts are interesting and the delivery makes it easier for me to understand.
Darren Martin
I believe the projects you put out are great for beginners to actually dig into instead of just watching videos and mimicking labs.
Freddy Ferby
TechOneTwenty was the single resource that made these subjects finally click. Please let me know when you make part two.

I supported your work because I am very thankful for your hands on projects in Tech One Twenty. I was recently laid off after 5 years of service. I am trying build a portfolio to showcase my learning and experience. Your projects are very well written.
Joshua Lopez
I support your work for its clear, practical insights into real world cybersecurity challenges. Your content bridges the gap between technical depth and accessible guidance.

I'm trying to break into Cloud Security (I'm more into web, AD, and network pentesting). I love how you visualize projects, it's what I do when I try to learn.
Hussain Aziz Ahmed
I support your work because I think you want to help people.
