How much will it cost to learn programming and cyber security, and how long will it take to perfect it?

There are aspects of cybersecurity that require programming and aspects of cybersecurity that do not require any programming. You have to go online and research on the parts of cybersecurity you want to venture into.

Just keep money down for cybersecurity certifications Sha and enough cybersecurity books. No one is gonna employ someone in cybersecurity without certifications. Watching Udemy videos and feeling like a hacker doesn't cut it in that field.

I wasn't hired because of a degree or certs. I taught myself hacking, made a free page to post about it, which eventually got me noticed. I even got offered a job by GCHQ after submitting a CV which consisted only of blog posts.
If you can't afford hundreds of naira for certs, don't let people convince you it's the only way. Certs are a way to prove you know at least something, but there are many ways to do that.

Nice men. You are in cybersecurity. That's amazing. Putting out content really helps in this space. I also got my present job by showing out things I built with the Jamstack technology.

I want to know how much that will cost me pls. Does it mean i will study them separately?

Cybersecurity certs are fucking expensive. I know CEH is 1300 USD and CISSP is around 650 USD just to take the exam.
