Description
How long does the course last?
As this is an online course, you can work at your own pace. However, there are deadline dates to be met, and you should speak with the programme lead about this.
Mandatory Units
There are Mandatory Units and Optional Units.
- Computer Architecture
- Computer Networking
- Computer Programming

- Digital Forensics
- Ethical Hacking
- Professionalism and ethics in Cyber Security
- Graded Unit 1 (Examination)
Optional Units
- Cyber Resilience

Each unit comprises of outcomes (between 2 and 5 for each unit), and there will be assessments/tests/exercises for each outcome that must be completed as we go. The graded Unit is the final exam for the Mandatory units.
You will receive video lectures which are related to the content of the outcome. You will then be expected to go away and research for self-study purposes. It is very important that you take the time to do your own research, and maximise the time on this qualification.
