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

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

  • If you’re just starting your cybersecurity career, or you're looking to switch careers from a completely different background, it’s best to start with entry-level or foundational courses, such as the CompTIA A+. This course is designed to build your core technical skills and understanding of key cybersecurity concepts.
  • If you already have some experience in IT or cybersecurity, 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.

You may have noticed that headline-making cyber attacks are on the rise.  With four in ten businesses (43%) having experienced a cyber breach or attack in the past year, and Cisco reporting that they handle 550 billion security events every day, the urgent need for cyber professionals in the UK and globally is shockingly clear.

In fact, recent data from the UK’s Department for Science, Innovation & Technology illuminates that half (49%) of UK businesses have a cyber skills gap. 

Whether you’re navigating the world of cybersecurity for the first time, or you're looking to progress your career and build on existing experience, we have the courses and expertise you need.
