Have you tried approaching the btc currency exchanges to offer your services as a white hat hacker, who tests their site for vulnerabilities?
After all these places seem to be getting hacked all the time, if you could get them to vouch for you, ensure they are more secure, it would add to your credibility.
It is doubtfull he has any real insight into security.
Offering 2hr lessons over skype means he teaches people how to use some script kiddie tools.
Knowing how to operate some pre-fab tools doesn't make you a hacker or a security specialist.
If you can dump a SQL database through a security leak on a webpage that doesn't mean you can install the actual SQL server and make it secure.
Hes claiming he will teach people to become 'qualified' and 'professional' 'ethical' 'hackers'.
Those 4 words combined with what he's offering tells me he propably has no skills.
Look at it as mostly entertainment and see how the script kiddies operate.
And anyway, if he was good enough to do information security he wouldn't be offering courses for kiddie alowance.
