We believe that cybersecurity training should be accessible without undue burden. To that end, on our HTB Academy platform, we are proud to offer a discounted student subscription to individuals who are enrolled at an academic institution.
With our Student Subscription, you can maximize the amount of training you can access while minimizing the hole in your wallet. Interested in learning more? Read on.
Please note, the Student Subscription is only available on HTB Academy.
Students with University/Institute Domains
To qualify for the Student Plan, you'll need to change the email on your existing account to the email provided by your academic institution or add it as a secondary email to your HTB Account; you don't need to create a new account.
If the university has already been registered on our academy platform with your domain, the Student plan will be accessible automatically.
If not, you have to open a ticket with support to validate your domain.
After clicking on the 'Send us a message' button, choose Student Subscription. This will provide more information on the steps needed before creating a ticket, and then clicking on the Student plan is still greyed out.
In the ticket, you will need to provide:
The name of the institution
Your educational email address
The website of the institution
The country of the institution
After that, the support team will take care of validating the domain after checking the information given.
Note: Your student email address must be present as a primary or secondary email address on the HTB Account.
Students with No Academic Email
If you are a student, but your institution does not provide you with an academic email address, your eligibility will need to be manually confirmed by our support team.
Open the chat, choose Student Subscription, and then select I do not have an academic email.
You will have to create a different ticket where you need to provide the following:
Proof of Enrollment
The name of the institution
The website of the institution
The country of the institution
The support team will verify your enrollment and give you access to the student plan.
Getting the Student Subscription
After you have gone through the process above and have either:
Added a student email to your account that matches our records and verified it
Had your university domain added to HTB's database
Proved your student status in another way
You will be able to then subscribe to the Student Subscription. For that, there are 3 ways you can reach the Student Subscription option:
