No. Our programmes are designed for complete beginners, and 75% of graduates who secured cyber roles had no prior IT background. What matters is curiosity, commitment and a willingness to practise.

There are no formal academic prerequisites. You should be comfortable using a computer and able to follow training delivered in English.

The flagship Cybersecurity Career Kickstart+ runs over about 7.5 months and 333 hours, delivered fully online. It is built around working adults, so most of that is part-time study in the evenings and at weekends, with hands-on labs throughout.

Individual programmes are delivered mostly online and part-time, built around working adults, with hands-on labs and live sessions. Corporate training can be run on site at your premises or online, whichever suits your team.

Most learners study part-time around their jobs — typically two weekday evenings and one weekend afternoon. A full-time weekday intake is available for the flagship programme if you prefer to train intensively.

Sessions are recorded and accompanied by written notes so you can catch up. The live, hands-on scenarios run during class hours and need live participation — you complete these to progress through the modules.

A laptop or desktop that can run virtualisation comfortably — a modern multi-core processor, at least 16 GB of RAM and around 512 GB of storage, plus a stable internet connection. Tablets and devices such as the Surface Pro are not suitable.

Yes. Depending on the programme, you work towards industry-recognised certifications — for example GCIH on the Defence track and OSCP on the Offence track — alongside the practical, portfolio-building skills employers look for.

For most entry-level roles, certifications are not compulsory. Employers hire on demonstrated technical ability and a clear understanding of the work, which is exactly what our hands-on, lab-based training is built to develop.

The Defence track focuses on blue-team work — monitoring, detection and incident response — and builds towards the GCIH certification. The Offence track focuses on offensive security, finding and exploiting weaknesses through penetration testing, and builds towards OSCP. Both are hands-on and lab-based; we can help you choose the right fit at a free info session.

The most common first role is SOC analyst. Graduates also move into security analysis, forensics and junior penetration testing, depending on whether they follow the Defence or Offence track.

Many listings still mention a degree, but employers increasingly value demonstrated skills and a strong portfolio over qualifications on paper. Among our graduates who secured cyber roles, 75% had no prior IT background, and many do not hold a computing degree.

We assist through career services — CV and résumé preparation, interview practice and portfolio coaching — together with ad-hoc referrals to employers in our network. We assist; we do not guarantee or place you in a job. 80% of graduates who completed the full programme and career services secured cybersecurity employment (as of early 2026).
