We sat him down to discuss a few things about his one-of-a-kind institute, all about learning the best in the field of cybersecurity and development, and here’s what he has to share with us.
- Hi, Hayat, thanks for taking out time and speaking to us. Please tell us more about your institute and how it is unique from others.
I was always inclined towards everything tech, and so getting into the cybersecurity world gave me the wings to fly. However, I also later realized how education in the field has always been expensive, and not everyone could afford to take such courses and fulfil their dreams. Hence, first, I gained tremendous experience and turned into a certified professional to start my own institute called ICT- Institute of Cyber Technologies to provide affordable education to students. ICT is a government-authorized institute that provides the best courses on IoT Robotics, Python, Cybersecurity and Ethical Hacking.
As a team working 24/7, we are determined to provide all our students with security in their careers and turn them into well-groomed, more knowledgeable and skilled professionals. We stand distinctive from the rest because we focus on quality education and provide guidance in getting the best placements.
- Why do you think students hardly get the right jobs in the industry?
I think this happens because they hardly gain the right education from the right and knowledgeable people in the industry. Apart from education in the field, they lack practical skills, leaving them with no jobs.
- How can students get in touch with you?
They can simply visit the website and gain more information about the institute or can even get in touch with me on Instagram @hayat_r_zaidi.
- Do you think degrees are more important than skills?
Well, skills top everything else. When you gain knowledge from institutes like ICT and become a professional in cybersecurity, IoT Robotics, Python, Ethical Hacking and Cybersecurity, you prepare yourself for the outside world and step a firmer foot toward greater growth and success. Degrees and diplomas only play an additional role, whereas practical knowledge will make people more efficient and skilled.
Hayat R Zaidi truly has come a long way in the industry as a top professional and a much sought-after expert in cybersecurity, website development, coding and ethical hacking. People who have been his students are today doing remarkably well in their careers and have secured exciting jobs in the industry. These students today are well-groomed with the right practical skills and knowledge, and with also soft skills like spoken English, personality development and more, to crack interviews. ICT is expanding online pan India and offline in Delhi, Haldwani, Dehradun, Moradabad and Bareilly, thanks to its positive testimonials and recognition.
Hayat R Zaidi, a rising name in the industry, is also looking forward to offering many more interesting courses through ICT to make his students even more competent in the industry.
