How to Request US Educator Range Access & Get Started

If you are looking to request educator (curator) access to the XP Cyber Range and bring the cyber workforce experience before the workforce to your US-based cyber program, you are in the right place!

However, before you start the process, be sure you meet the following requirement for educator (curator) account access:

You must be an educator from an accredited US-based educational institution.

If you are a student, you must gain access through an educator meeting the above requirement. At this time, we do not directly create student (player) accounts on the range.

The On-Boarding Process

The steps to request access and get started are easy and few but critical to a smooth start:

Fill out the Educator (Curator) Account Request Form
Complete Educator Verification & Account Setup
Attend a Curator Crash Course Webinar (Highly Recommended)

You will find the Educator (Curator) Account Request Form and webinar information below.

Educator (Curator) Account Request Form

Fill out this form to request a Curator account on the XP Cyber Range.

After submitting the form, you will receive an automated email from the XP Cyber Support Portal. From there our support staff will work with you to verify that you are an educator from an accredited US-based educational institution and finish your account setup.

Educator (Curator) Webinar Series

We host two curator webinars every month. The Curator Crash Course helps new curators get started with the XP Cyber Range, and the Challenge Deep Dive takes curators through an in-depth review of our challenges.

While technically optional, we strongly suggest new curators attend a Curator Crash Course. If you are unable to make the monthly webinar, please reach out to us on the XP Cyber Support Portal to schedule a private Curator Crash Course.
