Cyber Security

Protect your business against cyber security threats

The demand for cyber security experts is increasing, with more than a third of UK companies stating that cyber security is a specialism that is needed right now. A cyber security breach can have a significant effect on an organisation, impacting confidence and reputation, which can have a lasting impact on your business. 

Comprising live webinars, interactive sessions and on-demand content with direct support from an althaus Digital Skills Coach, our Cyber Security Technician Level 3 and Cyber Security Technologist Level 4 courses ensure our apprentices are exposed to the very best practice from the outset.

How could a Cyber Security Apprentice help your business?

  • Increased support with cyber security across your organisation
  • More easily test and protect your business against future vulnerabilities


With every apprenticeship, althaus works closely with you to determine the areas of your business that you want to develop, so the first part of your apprentice’s study is tailored to your organisation’s unique needs. This means the learner quickly progresses in the areas that your business needs them to, adding measurable value from the outset.   

We are also the only training provider that offers a complimentary Leadership Programme with every apprenticeship. Comprising five
one-day workshops, the Learn Digital. Lead Digital. programme breaks new standards for the sector, and we believe it is an essential element in turning our learners into future leaders in digital.
