Who this is for
If you want the job, not just the certificate, this is built for you.
This is for you if
- You are changing career from something unrelated — retail, forces, trades, admin, driving, anything
- You have no IT background and want to start at the beginning, properly
- You can give it around eight hours a week and want to be job-ready in six to nine months
- You want a recruitment team working on your first role with you, not a certificate and a goodbye
Not for you if
- You only want one certification — individual courses are further down
- You are looking for a degree or university route
- You want a free course — this is a paid programme; the price and the monthly figure are on this page
The maths
What's in the £1,899, and what it costs bought one at a time.
The same nine courses, labs, twelve months of tutor support and the recruitment service, bought separately, come to £3,726. The programme is £1,899, and you can start it for £1.
Then from £65 a month over up to 48 months
Exams are included however you pay. The three exam vouchers are in the £1,899 whether you pay in full or monthly. There is no separate exam fee.
Why this and not a single course
Not just a course. A career.
Plenty of providers will sell you Security+ on its own and hand you a certificate. Three things happen here that don't happen when you buy one course.
From Tech+ to CySA+ in the right order, so a beginner ends up analyst-level — not stuck at helpdesk with an A+ and nowhere to go.
SC-900, Security+ and CySA+ exam vouchers are in the price. On most single-course providers the exam is an extra you pay for yourself.
Guaranteed route to job placement on completion. CV and LinkedIn rewrite, interview prep, and a recruitment team working suitable roles with you.
route to
job placement
Finish the programme and we work with you until you're placed.
Your course and career advisor stays with you from enrolment to placement. Guaranteed Route to Job Placement on completion. This applies to this programme as stated here and in the programme brochure you receive before enrolling. Full conditions are in our Terms of Learning.
Full conditions are in our Terms of Learning. Salary range for information security analysts: £35,000–£76,000 (National Careers Service, IT security co-ordinator profile, checked 17 September 2026).Why now
Employers are asking for people they can't find.
The government's own research says the UK cyber workforce is about 143,000 people with a gap of 3,800 (DSIT, Cyber security skills in the UK labour market 2025). The share of employers blaming a lack of work experience for unfilled roles has fallen from 35% to 16% in three years (DSIT 2024). Employers are adjusting to a market where the experienced candidate they wanted doesn't apply.
And of 69 live UK entry-level cyber adverts we coded in September 2026, none required a degree. Nineteen said one was desirable with an equivalent accepted. Fifty didn't mention it.
How it works
Four steps. We stay with you through all of them.
Where you are now and when you want to start. An advisor calls you back the same working day and tells you honestly whether this route fits.
Pay the deposit, sign up, and your login, tutor and labs go live. Your mentor builds a study plan round your week.
Nine courses in order, live labs alongside, mock exams before each real one. You book when you're ready, not before.
CV and LinkedIn rewrite, interview prep, and a recruitment team working roles with you until you're placed.

Questions people actually ask
Before you send the form.
Does "no IT experience" really mean none?
Yes. The programme starts at CompTIA Tech+ and A+ and builds to CySA+. Plenty of students start with no IT background at all. If you've ever fixed your own kit or been the one people ask, you're ahead of where you think.
Do I need a degree?
No. Of 69 live UK entry-level cyber adverts we coded in September 2026, none required one. The industry hires on certification and demonstrated skill, which is what this programme gives you.
How long does it take?
Most people finish in six to nine months with twelve months of access, online and self paced, studying around a job. Nothing is timetabled.
What does the guaranteed route to job placement mean?
Guaranteed Route to Job Placement on completion, as stated here and in the programme brochure you receive before enrolling. On completion you get a CV and LinkedIn rewrite, interview preparation and a recruitment team working suitable roles with you. It is a commitment to keep supporting your job search, not an offer of employment. Full conditions are in our Terms of Learning.
Which exams are included?
Microsoft SC-900, CompTIA Security+ and CompTIA CySA+ exam vouchers are in the £1,899, however you pay. The other six courses are full training courses; their exams can be added separately if you want them.
What jobs does this lead to?
Trainee cyber security analyst, security technician and SOC analyst roles, with IT support and service desk as stepping stones for people who want them. Information security analysts earn £35,000–£76,000 according to the National Careers Service.
Can I pay monthly?
Yes. £1 deposit, then from £65 a month over up to 48 months, or pay in full. Finance is provided by Snap Finance Limited, authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority under firm reference 741813, subject to status and affordability. Course Correct Ltd is a credit broker and not a lender. You may be declined.
Are the certifications recognised?
Yes. Every certification is awarded by CompTIA or Microsoft, not by us, and exams are sat with the awarding body or an approved test centre. It's worth exactly the same as from any other provider and it stays with you.
I'm ex-forces — can I use ELCAS?
Yes, and there's a version of this programme built for it. See the ELCAS Cyber Security Career Programme — 80% funded through your Enhanced Learning Credits.
Only want one certification?
Our individual courses are available too.
If you already work in IT, or you're topping up a specific skill, you can buy a single course. You just don't get the placement route — that's what the full programme buys you.
| Course | With exam |
|---|---|
| CompTIA A+ | £529 |
| CompTIA Network+ | £449 |
| CompTIA Security+ | £469 |
| CompTIA CySA+ | £469 |
| CompTIA PenTest+ | £549 |
