Are you looking to benefit from a new career in IT and Cybersecurity? Skills shortages in the IT sector are driving the need for qualified, entry-level career seekers and career changers.

The company helps place graduates from this programme in top UK companies and organisations needing to employ entry-level IT and Cybersecurity staff that can hit the ground running with up-to-date skills gained from this programme.

You will also have the reassurance of a job guarantee upon completion.

Whether you are working full time, part time or are unemployed, this package has the flexibility to be completed at a pace that suits you and can be completed in a few weeks or a few months.

Job Preparation Steps

Step 1 - Accredited Online Training:Complete a selection of professional, accredited and industry recognised courses from CompTIA which is the global leader in IT Technician, Networking and Cybersecurity training. The training is delivered via multimedia rich video tutorials, practice labs, presentations and quizzes.
  2. Step 2 - Practical Training:Gain practical experience by using practice labs which enable you to practice and master what you have learned. This combination of theoretical and practical skills is what line managers need you to have to be effective and confident in your role.
  3. Step 3 - Official Exams:Sit the CompTIA Security+ and the CompTIA CySA+ exams to obtain the official certifications which will be recognised worldwide.
  4. Step 4 - Job Placement:Work with the recruitment support team to secure your first role in IT. Ideally, you will need to gain two years' experience in this role before you can progress into a cyber security role.

Cybersecurity Role

Once you have completed all the mandatory training, the recruitment support team specialises in the IT and Cybersecurity space. Roles at this level have an average starting salary of £35K - £45K, typically being a trainee cyber security analyst or engineer role.

Job Guarantee
