CyberEPQ
Our CyberEPQ is the UK’s first and only Extended Project Qualification (EPQ) in Cyber Security. This unique cyber security qualification has been developed through collaboration with education and cyber security partners to help provide a starting point for anyone considering a career in cyber security.
The qualification is delivered online with 10 Core Compulsory Modules and 3 Specialist Modules. Students can cover topics from digital forensics to security testing and vulnerability assessment. Our content is guided by the National Occupational Standards (NOS) and aligned with the Cyber Security Body of Knowledge (CyBOK) Skills and Knowledge Framework. Our CyberEPQ can help you to gain recognition of your cyber education and demonstrate your interest in the industry.
CIISec membership is a fantastic opportunity for students to start wading into the industry ahead of graduation. Regular newsletters helped keep me informed about industry developments, careers events and networking opportunities—all good ways to stand out in the job market!
