Course overview

Our Cyber Security Traineeship is the easiest way to start a new career in IT with fantastic career prospects. Our simple four-step process will give you all of the training and certifications required to break into the industry. You will be guaranteed an IT role with a starting salary of £18K – £25K and be fast-tracked into a Cyber Security role within 2 years, with a starting salary of £35K.

We have partnered with some of the biggest IT companies across the UK who trust us to provide them with high quality, entry-level technicians. These companies are also extremely short staffed in the Cyber Security sector and understand the risk of being underprepared for attacks. This is why our traineeship has proven so popular.

Cyber Security is now growing 4x faster than any other sector in IT, meaning that candidates who are experienced and qualified now earn between £50K – £100K+. Within 4 years you could be in this position with our Traineeship.

Assessment

Step 1 – Online training

Complete a selection of professional, accredited and industry recognised IT courses by CompTIA, Microsoft and Cisco. The training is delivered via multimedia rich video tutorials, presentations and quizzes, through a portal that you study from home.

You can log into the portal at any time, meaning this can be completed around any full-time job. The emphasis of step 1 is to learn all of the theory before beginning practical training. This takes around four weeks of full-time study or six-to-eight weeks of part-time study to complete.

At the end of step 1, you will sit a short online multiple choice assessment to ensure that you’re ready to move onto step 2.

Step 2 – Livelab

Our cutting edge live lab will give you the practical hands-on training that you will require from the comfort of your own home. Live-Lab is real computer equipment networked together and conveniently accessible over the internet.

Our hosted platforms are configured to imitate real-world configurations by providing sufficient hardware not only to carry out tasks but also test the impact of those changes. From the browser, you gain administrative access to the relevant devices giving you complete control to carry out either your own configurations or follow the lab guides to configure specific technologies that are required for the relevant CompTIA exams.

Step 3 – CompTIA A+ exams

You will finally be prepared for the official CompTIA A+ certifications. We will firstly release extensive mock tests for you to practice on and once you are ready we will book your official exams.

CompTIA is international leaders in IT certifications and having the CompTIA A+ will not only qualify you as an IT Technician in the UK but across the globe.

90 Minutes per exam, maximum of 90 questions per exam.

Step 4 – Cyber Security Training + Job Placement

Once you have completed the initial three steps, you will then start work in your first job placement as an IT Technician, with a starting salary of anywhere between £18K – 25K.

You will need to gain two years of experience in this role before you can transfer over into a cybersecurity analyst role.

While working as an IT technician, we will release your second batch of training which is specifically designed to qualify you to move into a cybersecurity role. This will consist of online training, practical training and an official exam.

Testimonials

  • Stefan Nowak
    Cyber Security Traineeship
    "After years of working in a warehouse, I decided enough is enough, I started looking online for a career in IT and came across IT Career Switch, which for me ticked all of the boxes. I went for their IT security package for the option of fast career progression. I studied around my current job role, was awarded an official qualification and had a guaranteed job at the end."
  • Zak Reid
    Cyber Security Traineeship
    "I am currently 6 months into my IT Technician job placement and have started work on my Cyber training. I have always enjoyed working with technology but never perused it as a career, the whole process from start to finish has been great as I was able to study while still working in my day job. I highly recommend this for anyone who is looking for a career change."
  • Jasmine Reid
    Cyber Security Traineeship
    "I am very happy with the level of customer service that I have received. The fact that you get over £550 worth of exam vouchers made this very worthwhile as I was looking to do those certifications anyway. The courses are easy to learn from and my tutor is always there if I need any help."

Job Placement

Once you have completed all of the mandatory training in step four and have the required two years experience in your first job placement, you will be ready to move into your Cyber Security Analyst role.

We have partnered with a number of large IT companies who have a massive shortage of qualified cybersecurity staff. Currently, 53% of organisations in the UK struggle to find qualified security professionals within six months.

In this role you will have a starting salary of around £35K, please see the full job description below.

If at the end of the training we are unable to place you in a role, we will refund 100% of your money back to you

About IT Career Switch

At IT Career Switch, we are devoted to connecting quality IT professionals with some of the most innovate and front-running companies in the UK.

With more than 20 years of combined experience in the industry between the 3 founding directors, we know how important it is to find the right candidate first time. Countless times we have come across companies who have tried to recruit first line or IT technicians, only to find when they start, they don’t know the difference between a keyboard and a motherboard.

They then have the option of looking for somebody, hopefully, better, to replace them. They spend valuable time giving training. This is why we are here. This is why the IT technician traineeship is the future of entry-level IT recruitment.
