This course introduces learners to the key concepts of cyber security, including common threats and the practical methods used to maintain digital security. It is designed as a flexible, bite-sized qualification that can be studied on its own or combined with other units to create a broader programme of learning.

The staff that will be supporting you through this course have sector expertise.


“HSDC provided me with the opportunity for autonomous study and the choice of subjects that I wanted to study, which helped me develop relevant knowledge as well as relevant skills for the workplace.”

Lucas Ratcliffe, A Level and CTEC student

My experience at the College was great, it’s very different to school, and I think it’s a good step to going to university. The support was amazing, I loved all of my teachers, they helped me through everything. The College is friendly and you will succeed.

Heidi Adamson Brattland, A Level student

The tutors were really supportive and it was all thanks to them that I have achieved what I have. I’ve also made loads of great friends and really enjoyed my time at the college.
