Cyber Security Trainee Placement Programme Please note this is a training course and fees apply Are you looking to benefit from a new career in IT and Cybersecurity?

We help place graduates from this programme into top UK companies and organisations needing to employ entry-level IT and Cybersecurity staff that can hit the ground running with up-to-date skills gained from this programme. The best part is you will not need any previous experience as fully accredited training, which includes tutor support and mentoring, provides you with the skills, practical knowledge and qualifications for you to secure a professional job and career in IT.
