Forge University comes from Securafy, a cybersecurity and managed-services company that spends every day in the trenches of real security programs. We kept watching good people put off certifications they were ready for — CISM, CISSP — because traditional prep meant taking a week off work, or a price tag that made the decision for them. We built the alternative we wished existed: self-paced, AI-mentored exam prep, priced to be accessible instead of exclusive.
Our AI Coach is grounded in the lesson you're actually on — not a static video you can't question, not a generic chatbot. Our guarantee is a real free course retake, gated on a readiness threshold you actually have to clear, not a marketing line with fine print. We're prep-only: only the certifying body — ISACA, ISC2, CompTIA, or Microsoft, depending on the exam — can grant the actual certification, and we'll never imply otherwise.
