Job description

Cyber Security Placement Programme - No Experience Required

Our training will help you kick-start a new career in Cyber Security. We are recruiting for companies that seek to employ our Cyber Security Traineeship graduates to support their growth. No previous experience is required as full training courses will be provided, and a job guarantee is offered upon completion.

Whether you are working full time, part time or unemployed, this package can be completed at a pace that suits you.

Training Programme – 4 Steps

• Step 1 – Online Training
  The first step is completing a selection of professional, accredited and industry recognised IT Support courses by CompTIA, Microsoft and Cisco. The training is delivered via multimedia-rich video tutorials, presentations and quizzes through a portal that you study from home. You will also be assigned an expert tutor to help you throughout your training.
• Step 2 – Practical Training
  You will gain practical experience by using our live labs. Practical, hands‑on experience is essential for certifications and keeping up to date with new technologies.
• Step 3 – Official Exams
  You will sit the CompTIA A+ exams to obtain the official certifications recognized worldwide. The CompTIA A+ is the most commonly requested certificate in entry‑level IT roles.
• Step 4 – IT Technician Placement
  You will be placed into an IT Technician role. You are required to gain two years of experience in this role before progressing to a Cyber Security Analyst role. While working as an IT Technician, a second batch of training—online, practical and an official exam—is released to prepare you for the cyber security field.

Cyber Security Analyst Role

After completing all mandatory training in Step 4 and gaining the required two years of IT industry experience, you will be ready to move into a Cyber Security Analyst role. Our partners include large IT companies that have a shortage of qualified cyber security staff.
