We’re excited to introduce the redesigned HTB Academy platform—a fresh look and improved experience built with you in mind! Below, you’ll find everything you need to know about what’s changing, how to access the new version, and where to get help if needed.


🔎 What is the redesign all about?

The HTB Academy redesign is a major step forward in usability, accessibility, and long-term scalability. Here’s what’s new:

  • Improved Accessibility: Better contrast, clearer focus states, and smoother keyboard navigation.

  • Enhanced User Experience: Simplified workflows, fresh visuals, and reduced distractions so you can focus on learning.

  • Mobile Friendly: Optimized layouts for phones and tablets, making learning on the go easier.

  • Performance Boosts: A faster, more responsive platform with smoother interactions.

  • Modern Technology: Built with the latest tech stack, ensuring speed and stability.

This is just the beginning—future updates will continue improving accessibility and adding new features.


🔄 Can I go back to the legacy platform?

Yes! During the beta phase, both platforms will run side by side:

In order to go back to the legacy platform, please click the relevant button found in your profile menu

Once the redesign is complete, the legacy version will be retired, and the new experience will fully replace it.


⚠️ What functionality will be missing (for now)?

Since this is a Beta MVP release, a few features from the current Academy are not available yet. Don’t worry—you can still access them in the legacy platform until they’re reintroduced.

The following features will not be included at launch:

  • Notes

  • Exam Lab view for Enterprise users who will not be affected, as they will be directed to the legacy version.

  • Search in Courses (the global search is available)

  • Student Transcript

  • Module Changelog

  • My Certificates

  • Integrated Terminal

  • Voucher Redemption

  • Friend Referral

These will roll out in future iterations.


💬 Your feedback matters!

We want to hear from you! In the beta version, you’ll find a “Give us feedback” option in the Help Menu. When you are ready, you can fill in the questionnaire.


📩 How can I contact support about issues in Academy 2.0 (Beta)?

  • Use the Contact Support option within the Help menu to report any issues related to Academy 2.0 (beta)


  • If you need general help with your HTB Academy account or features not related to the redesign, continue using the legacy Academy support options.


🚀 Final Note

The Academy 2.0 (Beta) is just the start of building a more powerful and inclusive HTB Academy. Your feedback will directly shape the improvements we deliver next. Thanks for joining us on this journey!
