An HM Government programme delivered in partnership with SANS

Introduction to the Cyber Retraining Academy

Despite the fact that the UK has a world-class cyber security sector, there is still currently a significant shortage of skilled cyber security professionals.

In response to this growing challenge, HM Government, in partnership with SANS Institute, has created the Cyber Retraining Academy. An intensive and immersive ten-week training programme, the Academy aims to encourage and develop potential new cyber security professionals. The programme has been tailored to meet the specific cyber security needs of today’s enterprises and government.

The Cyber Retraining Academy is funded by the Government’s National Cyber Security Programme which is helping develop the skills we need to protect the UK online now and in the future.

• Aged 18 and over

• Not currently working within a cyber security role
• Able to attend the full 10 weeks of the Academy
