Your questions, answered

Which elements of cyber security will this course cover?

+

As cyber security is as a very broad discipline, the curriculum is designed to develop you as an all-round cyber security practitioner who understands the breadth of cyber security principles and knows how to apply the knowledge you've learned in real-life scenarios.

Can you be flexible with class times? Can I miss any sessions?

+

As our virtual classroom experience is live, and structured around collaborative, team-based learning, we can’t offer flexibility around class times.

You need to maintain a minimum of 90% attendance to pass the course, which means you’ll have been able to join classes on time, for the duration of the class, for the duration of the course.

We understand that life happens – if you really can’t make a class then you can catch up on any missed work with help from tutors and teammates, however, this wouldn't be feasible on a regular basis.

If you have a pre-booked holiday that clashes with one of our cohort schedules, don’t worry! Our admissions team is on hand to help and discuss which cohort schedule would suit you best, so please get in touch.

Is the course accredited?

+

Yes! Our Certified Cyber Security Practitioner (Ce-CSP) course is accredited by the Chartered Institute of Information Security (CIISec), and all CAPSLOCK graduates who pass the course are eligible to apply for Accredited Affiliate membership with CIISec.

What are the class schedules and teaching hours?

+

We offer two class schedules for you to choose from: Full Time or Part Time.

  • Full Time: A 16-week course with live classes running from 9:30am - 2:30pm (GMT), Monday-Friday.
  • Part Time: A 28-week course with live classes running from 6pm - 9pm (GMT), Monday – Thursday.

We chose these two schedules to try to cater to as many people as possible. We've had learners studying between school drop-off and pick-up times, after 9-5 jobs, and around all sorts of other commitments. Hopefully you can find a schedule which works for you.

Learn more about your class schedules.

What certifications are included? Are they well recognised?

+

When you study with CAPSLOCK, you can gain up to 4 industry certifications.

Upon passing the CAPSLOCK course, you become a "Certified Cyber Security Practitioner" and are awarded the Ce-CSP certification. This certification is accredited by the Chartered Institute of Information Security and is widely regarded in the industry.

There is also the option to obtain three additional certifications – the cost for these is included in your tuition fee. Whilst we don’t directly teach these external certs, the course naturally covers a lot of the content, and we offer independent study materials.
