International Cyber Security Institute

We realize that not everyone who is aiming for a career in cybersecurity has the privilege of living near a UK university or the opportunity to dedicate himself full-time to post-graduate studies.

• Our online learning programme allows you to participate wherever you are; all you need is a reliable internet connection.
• Study full-time or part-time, at your own pace, alongside your job or other courses or obligations.
• Instructor-led training sessions are scheduled live to give you the experience of a virtual classroom where you can ask questions, hear and learn from the queries of other students, and receive answers on the spot. If you are unable to attend the real-time remote access live session, you can log in at your convenience and follow a recorded version, complete with all the interaction that took place during the live session.
• The live sessions, web conferences, labs, forums, online classroom are can be accessed via any PC or Mac computer and or optimized for any mobile device.

If you have decided to invest in post-graduate professional qualifications or a Master’s Degree, you want to make sure that your diploma or degree will be recognised and will ultimately convert into better employment opportunities.

• All courses are taught by instructors who are subject matter experts.
• CREST accreditation
  Our CPT (Certified Penetration Tester) course is accredited by CREST, a not for profit organisation that serves the needs of a technical information security marketplace that requires the services of a regulated professional services industry.

After completion of all 3 courses you will be eligible to apply for the Master’s programme of the University of Central Lancashire, UK, with a head start of 60 credits.

Especially in the field of cybersecurity, employers value practical experience and professional qualifications as much as academic degrees, sometimes even more. Our accredited professional qualifications combine hands-on training and theoretical knowledge.

• ICSI course syllabuses are developed and presented by working cybersecurity professionals with real-world experience.
• Every successfully completed course grants you a professional qualification that immediately adds value to your background and credentials, even before you obtain your Master’s degree.
• Six stand-alone courses deliver professional qualifications that will benefit you whether you are already working or seeking employment.

Our courses are designed to prepare you for the tasks that await you in the field. ICSI’s real-world scenario lab simulates and challenges you with the kind of problems you will be expected to tackle.

Note: for security reasons our labs are isolated

• 24-hr remote access to a virtual lab allows you to learn, train and practice your skills in your own time. All you need is a reliable internet connection.
• Sharpen your skills by applying them to the real-world scenarios presented in our security lab and preparing the respective reports, just as you would be expected to do in a real-life work environment.
• Contrary to other course providers, our exams are performance based (not multiple choice). This assures any prospective employer that you are indeed familiar with real-life cybersecurity problems, and gives you the confidence you will need in a new work environment.
• You will have full access to our lab for a total of 6 months. During that time you can practice as often as you want, for as long as want, even if you have already completed the course.
