How
How everyone who finishes ends up placed
It starts with what goes on the CV and what you can prove you have done. It finishes with somebody working live vacancies with you. Most providers do the first part and stop.
The certifications UK job adverts actually ask for, and all three exams are included in the price, however you pay.
Microsoft SC‑900
Security, Compliance and Identity Fundamentals across Microsoft solutions. It puts identity and access on your CV alongside the two CompTIA certifications, which are vendor‑neutral, so you can speak to both the Microsoft estate an employer runs and the principles behind it.
CompTIA Security+
Threats, vulnerabilities, architecture, operations and programme management. This is the certification UK entry‑level security adverts name most often, which is why it sits at the centre of the programme rather than at the end.
CompTIA CySA+
Security operations, vulnerability management, incident response and reporting, the working skills of a security analyst. It is the SOC analyst job description written down, which is what makes it the one that separates you from a candidate holding Security+ alone.
Not exercises. Two pieces of real work you can walk an interviewer through, which is how you answer the question every career changer gets asked.
SIEM project
Hands‑on log monitoring in the industry’s most widely used SIEM technology, and presenting your findings back to stakeholders with visualisation, the reporting skill candidates most often lack.
Cloud project
Deploy and configure a cloud security resource in your own cloud environment, then enable the connectors that let you monitor user activity such as sign‑in logs.
Not proofread. Rewritten for cyber roles by people who read these adverts every week and know what a hiring manager scans for in six seconds.
Recruiters search LinkedIn before they search anything else. Yours gets rebuilt so you turn up in the searches for the roles you want.
With someone who has sat on the other side of the desk. The technical questions, the scenario questions, and the one about why you changed career.
Our team works real, open vacancies with you, and keeps working them. Not a job board login. Not a list of links.
That is why the number at the top of this page is what it is.
Guaranteed Route to Job Placement on completion
We will keep working with you until you have a job in the industry. Not until the programme ends. Not until a set number of applications. Until you are in.
It is a commitment to keep supporting your job search, not an offer of employment. Read the Terms of Learning.The role
Not the helpdesk. The security desk.
“Cyber” that starts on the IT helpdesk
Most programmes that promise a cyber career place their graduates into IT technician and first‑line support roles, on the theory that you work your way across later. Some of them take two years to get there. Some people never do.
Trainee SOC analyst and SOC analyst roles, from the start
The programme is built backwards from what a security operations centre actually asks for, which is why the recruitment team is working security roles with you and not support tickets.
£35,000 to £76,000 Published UK range for the role, not an earnings prediction. National Careers Service, IT security co‑ordinator profile, checked 17 September 2026.Who this is for
If you want the job, not just the certificate
This is built for you if
- You have no IT experience and you are starting from nothing.
- You have six to nine months and can study around a job.
- You want somebody working live vacancies with you at the end, not a certificate and good luck.
- You can start at £1 and pay from £65 a month, or pay in full.
This is not for you if
- You want a single certification and nothing else, our individual courses do that, and this page is not about them.
- You want a qualification to put on a shelf rather than a job at the end.
- You are looking for fully funded or free training. We are not a funded provider, apart from ELCAS for service leavers.
Two minutes, and an advisor calls you back the same working day.

What’s in the £1,899, and what it costs bought one at a time
Nine courses, three exams, twelve months of tutor support and the recruitment work at the end.
Exams are included however you pay. The three exam vouchers above are in the £1,899 whether you pay in full or monthly. The other six are full training courses; their exams can be added separately if you want them.
Why now
Employers are asking for people they can’t find
The shortage is not at the senior end. It is at the entry level, and the thing standing in most people’s way is experience rather than qualifications, which is exactly what the last stage of this programme is for.
How it works
Four steps. We stay with you through all of them.
Deposit of £1, then from £65 a month. You get your log‑in and your tutor the same week.
Nine courses, online and self‑paced, twelve months of access. Most people finish in six to nine months.
Microsoft SC‑900, CompTIA Security+ and CompTIA CySA+. Booked when the matching course is complete.
CV rewritten, LinkedIn rebuilt, interviews prepared, and the recruitment team working live roles with you until you are in.

Who teaches you
Questions people actually ask
Before you send the form
What does the guaranteed route to job placement mean?
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. There are conditions on both sides, work with the recruitment team, apply for the reasonable roles that come up, send your weekly job tracker, be reasonable about travel and salary, and keep your payments up to date. They are set out in full in our Terms of Learning.
What jobs does this lead to?
Trainee SOC analyst and SOC analyst roles in a security operations centre. Not IT helpdesk or first‑line support, which is where a lot of “cyber” programmes place people and call it a cyber career.
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.
Do I need a degree?
No. Of 69 live UK entry‑level cyber adverts we coded in September 2026, none required one. Nineteen said one was desirable with an equivalent accepted, and fifty did not mention it.
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.
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 are full training courses; their exams can be added separately if you want them.
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. CompTIA and Microsoft certifications are recognised worldwide. Course2Career is a CompTIA Authorized Partner and a Microsoft Authorized Education Partner.
I’m ex‑forces, can I use ELCAS?
Yes. We are ELCAS approved provider 14012 and there is an ELCAS version of this programme at £2,197, of which £1,757.60 is ELC and £439.40 is your contribution. Tell the advisor when they call.
