Included Certifications

Our core entry-level cyber learning program includes the following three certifications, and is what we recommend for career-changers or career starters who are breaking into cyber at entry-level. 

IT Foundations

Your gateway to tech, IT Foundations provides a truly comprehensive insight to computer hardware and software. You'll develop real-world skills with an emphasis on problem-solving, technical support, and troubleshooting network and system performance issues using industry-standard approaches, including the CompTIA troubleshooting methodology. 

CompTIA Network+

This course teaches you how data moves across the globe, focusing on network design, connectivity, and the complex protocols that allow different devices to communicate with one another. It is a critical layer for any cyber professional because most digital threats occur over a network, making it impossible to defend a perimeter that you do not fully understand.

CompTIA Security+

You will master the fundamentals of risk management, threat detection, and the proactive defensive strategies used to protect an organisation's digital assets from modern attackers. It serves as the ultimate "door-opener" for your new career, proving to employers that you have the specific security mindset and baseline knowledge required to step into a professional security role.

EC-Council Certified Ethical Hacker (C|EH AI)

The Certified Ethical Hacker (C|EH AI) course is a globally recognised certification that equips you with the knowledge and practical skills to identify system vulnerabilities, understand the techniques used by cybercriminals, and implement effective security defences. Through hands-on labs and real-world scenarios, you'll gain high-value / real-world skills that will demonstrate true cybersecurity capabilities.
