Course: Cyber Security Traineeship
Placement Date: June 2020
Why did you start the Traineeship?
I felt like I had reached the ceiling in my previous sector, and was getting a little bored with the day to day. This course allowed me to find a career that aligned with a hobby Iโ€™ve had for years and years.
What did you enjoy most about the Traineeship?
Working at my own pace was great. I really enjoyed the experience of playing with various virtual machines to solidify my learning. As a person that learns by doing, that was the most helpful part of the Traineeship.
What's your current role like?
Rewarding. Iโ€™m currently helping the NHS with Covid support across the country. My job varies everyday, and thereโ€™s lots to learn, itโ€™s great!
