National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC)
The NCSC Certified Training scheme provides a benchmark for cyber security training by assuring the quality of both content and its delivery.
The NCSC Certified Training scheme is designed to assure high quality cyber security training courses. These courses are delivered by experienced training providers.
- The NCSC has developed exacting standards against which courses are rigorously assessed
- The assessment criteria, written by the NCSC, require the knowledge taught in NCSC Certified Training to be mapped to Knowledge Areas in the Cyber Security Body of Knowledge
- The certification process is carried out by APMG, the independent certification body approved by NCSC to award certification and maintain the required high standards of assessment
The NCSC Certified Training scheme certifies two levels of cyber security skills training:
- Awareness level — giving newcomers a thorough foundation in cyber security
- Application level — in-depth courses for professional development
