CyberFirst Futures Course for 15 to 16 year-olds

About

Following on from the success of 2016, teens across the UK will once again have the chance to take part in an expanded range of CyberFirst courses. Designed by cyber security experts from the UK's National Cyber Security Centre (part of GCHQ), and delivered by experienced training partner QA, and the national education charity, The Smallpeice Trust.

Rather than focus solely on theory, attendees are given the chance to experience cyber security through practical learning and applied teamwork, bringing out each individual's potential. These courses provides students with the opportunity to explore modern security technology, whilst working with the latest cyber security tools. The courses use presentations, team exercises and hands-on experience to hone the next generation of cyber security experts, or cyberists.
