We help people get into cybersecurity without any experience
You can book a free call with one of our careers advisors so we can help to create a tailored plan towards your first cybersecurity job.
🧠 Theoretical Knowledge
We teach the core concepts every SOC analyst needs—covering security frameworks, threat types, detection theory, incident handling, and the analyst mindset. You’ll build a strong foundation to understand why attacks happen and how to respond.
🔧 Hands -on Home Projects
This is where knowledge becomes skill. Our hands-on projects are designed to replicate real-world SOC scenarios, giving you a safe environment to practise, fail, try again, and build true confidence in your abilities.
Every project is directly tied to tasks SOC analysts perform daily—like analysing phishing emails, hunting threats, ingesting logs into a SIEM, or scanning for vulnerabilities. You’ll build your own environments, use real tools, and generate artefacts for your portfolio that demonstrate your capability to employers.
🛡️Hands-on Detection and Monitoring
We give our students access to a live Sumo Logic SIEM, so they can build experience with the same tools used in real SOC environments. You'll learn how to onboard logs, parse raw data, build dashboards, and write custom queries to detect suspicious activity. Labs include spotting failed login spikes, unusual admin actions, and tuning noisy alerts. Students also practise triaging real alerts and writing analyst notes—building the confidence to handle detection and monitoring tasks from day one.
🤝 Job Application Support
We don’t just train you—we help you land the job. Our team works with you to restructure your CV, ensuring the skills you’ve gained are clearly translated for hiring managers. You’ll build a tailored evidence portfolio that showcases your practical work from the program. We run mock interviews using real question pools drawn from Robbie and Vaughan’s years as cybersecurity hiring managers. You’ll also get guidance on LinkedIn optimisation and job search strategy—so when you're ready, you're fully prepared to make your move.
