Chris Bell, one of our directors at CSP is working with Capslock as a mentor, on their Cyber Security training programme. This supports professionals who want a career change into cyber security or to upskill their cyber security skills to fill any gaps.
Capslock provides cyber security courses entirely online, to help aspiring professionals get into the demanding Cyber Security industry quickly. Capslock’s goal is to offer educational opportunities that are different to university and other alternatives. They do this through a team of; ex university lecturers, business gurus and cyber security professionals, with years of experience to make the learning journey seamless.
Chris said:
“Capslock brings a refreshing, innovative and inclusive approach to educating people for a career in Cyber Security and helping to address the severe shortage of Cyber Security expertise within the UK. I was quite honoured that I was approached to join the team of industry-based experts, that act as mentors for their education programme. I am looking forward to helping develop and support the next generation of Cyber Security practitioners.”
Chris will be helping with the training modules and giving real insights from his personal experience working within the industry. As a result, this will help to prepare students for the cyber security world.
The course is spread over 16 weeks full-time or 26 weeks part time, giving their students flexibility and a much quicker way of learning. The curriculum covers five main areas; Culture, Risk, Impact Skills, Process and Technology Fundamentals. This allows students to gain real skills employers are looking for to get candidates hired as soon as they complete the course.
