Just had an excellent career coaching session with David Lee , and I can absolutely say I highly recommend it to any cyber freelancers or early-career cybersecurity folks. I was looking for guidance on how to serve clients, present my resume effectively, market my skills, gain new clients, and offer a range of services. The session provided exactly what I needed. He gave detailed, thoughtful responses to all of my questions and tailored his advice specifically to my situation. He was also generous with his time.
I also picked up a copy of the SIP Systems Audit Template. I've been hesitant about buying documents and templates because I've been disappointed in the past, but after having a video chat with David, I went ahead and bought the audit template. It did not disappoint. It’s essentially 17 different sheets in one and has great notes to help serve clients and do an in-depth audit. Extremely through and well worth the price.
Thanks again mate!

Hi I am a university lecturer in India and I joined the offensive security pathway to learn pentesting and writing professional reports.
The training was way beyond my expectations! Not only am I learning the most effective way to conduct pentests and write reports but I am getting invaluable training on how to gain clients as a free lancer.
David Lee and the entire team at safer internet project is awesome!

Before I joined the SIP, I lost track on my journey transitioning into cyber security. I was in the SIP discord server for a while, but I didn't think participating in 2 live pentest sessions each week would benefit me. I was wrong.
DC helped me come up with a career plan. Joining the SIP was part of the plan. I find there is so much to learn during the live pentest sessions. The community itself is very supportive to each member. And there is more. The SIP crew constantly improve the service by introducing industry experts to speak, mental health workshops, personal branding and so on. There are gems to be found every week.
I am not in the industry yet, but the SIP definitely sets me on the track.

I had the privilege of being part of the Safer Internet Project (SIP). During my time with SIP, I had the opportunity to engage in immersive hands-on labs and write professional security assessment reports. This experience has proven invaluable in more ways than one.
SIP's Shadow Pentest sessions increased my knowledge base and provided me with real-world experience. This newfound expertise has not only boosted my confidence but also enhanced my marketability in the cybersecurity field. I'm excited about the possibilities this added expertise opens up for my career, and I'm grateful to SIP for the platform to grow and learn.

A Truly Transformative Experience – The Safer Internet Project
My name is Will, and as someone who has recently taken the leap into starting my own cybersecurity consultancy, I can confidently say that The Safer Internet Project has been a game-changer in my journey.
From day one, the hands-on experience has been nothing short of excellent. The program doesn’t just teach theory – it immerses you in real-world scenarios, allowing you to apply your skills in meaningful and impactful ways. Every audit I’ve performed through SIP has not only strengthened my capabilities but has also become a valuable addition to my CV. It’s rare to find an initiative that helps you build real industry experience while actively supporting the field at the same time.
The guidance throughout has been second to none. The team—especially Dave—has been consistently available, providing clear, concise, and incredibly helpful support. Their knowledge of the cyber industry is deep and current, and their willingness to share that expertise has given me the confidence to step out into the real world with clarity and direction.
The best thing about The Safer Internet Project? The people. The staff are super friendly, always approachable, and genuinely invested in your success. The active help and encouragement I received made all the difference. I can’t speak more highly of Dave and the entire SIP team.
Thanks to SIP, I’m not just closer to getting a job—I’m already building a career. 100% recommended to anyone looking to get a real start in cybersecurity.

Thanks to Dave and the guys at SIP, I've landed my first pentesting gig and much of this (during the interview stage) was attributed to my time at SIP! I can't recommend the SIP Project enough. The best thing is, you get hands-on experience whilst working towards your personal goals!

There's an incredible training going out there on Safer Internet Project where you can gain real-world experience as a security analyst. In that role, you'll be projected to different key areas that will help you train and build your methodologies.
Today, I am looking forward to joining the Senior Threat Researcher position. Looking at the past, all I see the difference and impact the Safer Internet Project has created. I like their OSINT related projects alot! Due to those projects, my researching ability increased significantly.
And overall, David is fun guy to deal with. Thanks, Dave!
