Overview
Cyber Security Trainee Placement Programme
Are you looking to benefit from a new career in IT and Cybersecurity? Skills shortages in the IT sector drive the need for qualified, entry-level career seekers and career changers. This programme helps place graduates into top UK companies and organisations needing entry-level IT and Cybersecurity staff who can hit the ground running with up-to-date skills gained from this programme.
The programme provides fully accredited training with tutor support and mentoring, offering skills, practical knowledge and qualifications to secure a professional job and career in IT. A job guarantee is provided upon completion.
The package is flexible and can be completed in a few weeks or a few months, depending on your pace (steps 1 to 4). Your job and career goals are completed in 4 easy steps.
Step 1 – Accredited Online Training
The first step is completing professional, accredited and industry-recognised courses from CompTIA, the global leader in IT Technician, Networking and Cybersecurity training. 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 you throughout training.
Step 2 – Practical Training
You will gain practical experience using practice labs to master what you have learned. This hands-on experience helps you be proficient in your first IT role and aligns with what line managers need for effectiveness and confidence.
Step 3 – Official exams
You will sit the CompTIA A+ and CompTIA Network+ exams to gain official certifications recognized in the UK and worldwide. The Network+ provides a foundation in networking; the A+ is a widely required entry-level IT certificate.
Step 4 – IT Technician placement
We work with you to secure your first role as an IT Technician. Ideally, you will gain two years’ experience before moving into a cybersecurity role. While working as an IT Technician, we will release a second training batch designed to qualify you to move into cybersecurity (including CompTIA Security+). Additional courses (such as Certified Ethical Hacker and Certified Network Defender) can be tailored to your requirements.
Cybersecurity Role: After completing mandatory training in Step 4 and gaining two-plus years in IT, you will be ready for higher-paying cybersecurity roles. Our recruitment support team specialises in IT and cybersecurity roles, with salaries often around £35K starting.
