CompTIA SecurityX course overview.

“

I started the Traineeship because I needed a change from my last career and cyber security really started to stand out to me when I was looking for what careers I could pursue. However, I didn’t know where to begin or how to have the most success when applying for roles which was made more difficult from being on the autistic spectrum. That’s when I came across IT Career Switch where I could work at my own pace within reason, gain the necessary qualifications to be able to obtain the role, as well as receiving the support I needed to have success in my job search.

“

I started the Traineeship because even though I had previous programming experience, I needed a bit more foundation in full-stack programming. I also did a computer games development undergraduate degree before this, but with this I mainly learnt C# and C++, so this course helped me to learn more about full-stack programming languages, like HTML, CSS, Java, Python, SQL, etc.

“

I started the Traineeship because I wanted a long-term career with real progression and the opportunity to make a positive impact on people’s safety at work. I came from a motor trade background and had already progressed quickly to the higher end of the career path by the age of 21. That made me realise I wanted to move into a field where I could continue developing without hitting a ceiling. Health and Safety stood out to me because I had already been exposed to many of the risks through working as a mechanic, particularly when handling chemicals and hazardous substances. It felt like a natural transition into a role where I could use that experience while also helping improve workplace safety and protect people.

“

I started the Traineeship after feeling that my previous career aspirations and job weren’t taking me in the direction I wanted. I wanted to enter an industry with lots of opportunities, ongoing learning, and room for growth, which the Network Engineer Traineeship made possible.

“

I started my Data Science Traineeship to improve my CV and gain some experience.

“

Have been interested in IT for a long time, I believed there’d be ever-growing opportunities within the IT industry, and the Traineeship was the place to start.

After being an Employment Project Lead, I became very interested in a Project Management career. I love the diversity of the role, from daily duties to carrying a project from start to finish. I love being a part of change and development, and this course gave me the opportunity to learn from home and to gain real experience with the projects at the end. I was so scared of the exams, but the course was intensive, and I learned everything I needed to pass both on my first try!
