16 Week Program
Designed for veterans with little or no prior experience of cyber security. It prepares you comprehensively for the security roles you will be entering into, introducing you to basic principles, alongside material from SANS’ world-class training courses and real-life, practical simulations and team exercises.
Throughout the training program Allectum will support your transition into employment. Employers will also engage with you during your training, through Careers Fairs and employer-hosted evenings, with the aim of developing your skills and improving your employability.
