How to enrol

Application

Pre-course work

Tuition funding

Enrolment

1. Application

The first step to a career in cyber is submitting the application form. You can find this at the bottom of the page. In the form we’ll ask you for you some information about yourself, your preferences for joining the course, and then ask you to answer some questions about your motivations and current circumstances.

Submitting the application form is 100% commitment-free.

To get started with the application, all you'll need is 10-15 minutes to read and answer each question, and a cup of tea.

2. Pre-course work

As part of your conditional offer of enrolment, we’ll ask you to complete some pre-course work. This is 20-25 hours of self-guided study where you’ll watch videos, read texts and complete cyber labs and quizzes.

Our pre-course work is designed to give you the foundational knowledge you need to join the course, so that everyone is on the same page on the first day. It assess your determination and problem solving skills, whilst giving you a commitment-free opportunity to see if cyber security is a right fit for you.

3. Tuition funding

We’ll invite you to pay your tuition fee once you have completed the pre-course work, and after our tuition open date (which is usually around 8 weeks before the course starts).

Your tuition fee can be covered by any of the options listed on the Payment Options page.

4. Enrolment

Enrolment takes place around a week before the course starts. You'll be invited to complete an enrolment form, provide some ID and other documents, and attend an enrolment session. This is usually a group video call to get everything set up ahead of day 1.
