Overview
Cyber Security Trainee Placement Programme. This is a training course with fees. The programme aims to help graduates and career changers enter IT and Cybersecurity by providing accredited training with tutor support, mentoring and a job guarantee upon completion.
Participants can start with a deposit and finance the remaining balance over 12 months (interest-free). The programme consists of four steps designed to equip you with practical and certificated IT skills to help secure an entry-level IT role and develop toward cybersecurity opportunities.
Program structure and steps
1. Step 1 - Accredited Online Training
The first step is completing professional, accredited courses from CompTIA in IT Technician, Networking and Cybersecurity. Training is delivered via multimedia video tutorials, practice labs, presentations and quizzes through a home-study portal. You will be assigned an expert tutor and a support mentor to assist during training.
2. Step 2 - Practical Training
You will gain hands-on experience using practice labs to reinforce learning and build proficiency for your first IT role. This practical component complements theoretical knowledge and aligns with what line managers expect in entry-level positions.
3. Step 3 - Official exams
You will sit the CompTIA A+ and CompTIA Network+ exams to obtain official certifications recognised in the UK and worldwide. The A+ certificate is commonly requested for entry-level IT roles, and Network+ provides foundational networking knowledge.
4. Step 4 - IT Technician placement
We work with you to secure your first role as an IT Technician with a starting salary between £24K–£35K. After gaining two years’ experience in this role, you can progress toward cybersecurity roles. During this period, additional training is provided to qualify for cybersecurity positions (including optional courses such as CompTIA Security+, Certified Ethical Hacker and Certified Network Defender, depending on requirements and future direction).
Cybersecurity progression
After completing step four and gaining two-plus years of IT experience, you’ll be prepared to move into higher-paying cybersecurity roles. Our recruitment support team focuses on the IT and cybersecurity space; salaries at this level typically start around £35K.
Accreditations and support
We have supported career changers and new entrants since 2009. We are a CompTIA Gold Partner, accredited by the BCS (Chartered Institute for IT) and the EC-Council. We are also ELCAS approved to assist Armed Forces members, service leavers and veterans in IT and cybersecurity career paths.
Interested candidates are encouraged to apply, and a friendly advisor will be in touch.
