Job Description
Cyber Security Placement Programme – No Experience Required 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.
We help 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.
The best part is you will not need any previous experience as fully accredited training, which includes tutor support and mentoring, provides you with the skills, practical knowledge and qualifications for you to secure a professional job and career in IT. You will also have the reassurance of a job guarantee (18K–GBP35K) 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 (step 1 to 4 below). Your job and career goals are completed in 4 easy steps.
Step 1 – Accredited Online Training
The first step is completing 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 through a portal that you study from home. You will also be assigned an expert tutor and a support mentor to help you throughout your training.
Step 2 – Practical Training
You will gain practical experience by using practice labs which enable you to practice and master what you have learned. Gaining practical hands–on experience gives you confidence to be proficient in your first IT role. This combination of theoretical and practical skills is what line managers need you to have to be effective and confident in your role.
Step 3 – Official exams
You will then go on to sit the CompTIA A+ and the CompTIA Network+ exams to give you the official certifications which will be recognised not only in the UK, but worldwide. The CompTIA A+ is the most asked for certificate for entry–level IT roles
and the certification most IT Managers start their own careers with. All PCs in a professional environment are networked to servers, cloud based or otherwise and the Network+ gives you a needed foundation level of knowledge in networking.
Step 4 – IT Technician placement (GBP18–GBP25K)
We work with you to secure your first role as an IT Technician, with a starting salary of anywhere between GBP18K–25K.
