Cyber Ready is a 6-month retraining programme designed to ensure all programme candidates develop the necessary skills and knowledge to secure Cyber Security related employment.
The flipped-classroom approach combines classroom and online learning methods and is designed to encourage applications from candidates who may have other commitment and time limitations.
Cyber Security is a hot topic and getting hotter! With 39% of UK businesses identifying cyber security breaches over the last 12 months there is a real need for organisations to prepare themselves. A recent survey found that 50% of UK businesses lack basic technical skills such as configuring firewalls, detecting malware, and controlling privileged access. Despite more than half saying cyber threats were a top risk to their business. Statistics like this means that employers are actively seeking Cyber Security talent.
Cyber related salaries range from £22,500 to £77,500 depending on experience according to ITJobswatch.co.uk.
Candidates will be selected by a panel of assessors to join the Cyber Ready programme. Each candidate will receive access to:
The programme itself is divided into 4 simple stages Application and Screening, Training and Education, Cyber Wargames and Ongoing Development. On the most part it is delivered online, except for Saturday workshops.
