What are the best Cyber Security courses and how do I choose one?

The best cyber security course for you will depend on your career goals and your current level of experience in the field.

If you're starting out in cyber, it’s best to start with entry-level or foundational courses, such as the CompTIA A+, designed to build your core technical skills and understanding of key cyber security concepts.
If you already have some experience in IT or cyber security, and want to take the next step in your career, you might be ready for more advanced certifications like CompTIA CySA+, CISSP, or Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH), depending on your specialism and long-term goals.
If you have a specific role in mind, such as SOC analyst, penetration tester, or an information security manager, you'll likely need a carefully curated pathway of cyber courses to help you land your dream job.

These are just a few examples of the courses you could take, depending on your experience level and goals. Find the full list below.

Cyber Security Courses FAQs

Which is the best cyber security course?

The best cyber security course depends on how much experience you have in the field already. If you're an entry-level learner, the CompTIA A+ will teach you the core principles and skills needed for a career in cyber security. It has no prerequisites, meaning it's perfect for career changers or career starters. If you're a cyber security professional looking to advance your knowledge, the best courses will be those that require previous training or experience, such as the CompTIA CySA+ or CISSP.

Is 30 too old for a career switch to cyber security?

30 is absolutely not too old to start a career in cyber security. Neither is 40 or 50. Many of the students we support into cyber careers are older than 30 when they first talk to us. There is huge demand for skilled cyber security professionals in the UK, and this demand is growing quickly due to the new digital threats being posed by AI. Employers will be looking for hard skills, certifications, and soft skills such as analytical thinking when assessing candidates for cyber security roles; they will not be concerned if the applicant is older than 30 years old.

Can I learn cyber security in 3 months?

Technically, yes, you can learn the fundamentals of cyber security in three months and start applying for entry-level jobs. The CompTIA A+ cyber security course takes two months to complete if you study full time, or four months if you study part time. This course teaches you the core concepts and principles needed to start applying at entry-level.

Can I do cyber security courses online and become qualified?

Yes, you can study for cyber security qualifications completely online. All the courses we offer -- such as the CompTIA A+, CompTIA Security+, and dozens more -- allow you to study, learn, and take the exams online in your own time, allowing for a flexible learning experience.
