Cyber Security Trainer Course FAQs

Cyber security training in the UK is underpinned by the UK GDPR and Data Protection Act 2018, the Network and Information Systems (NIS) Regulations 2018, and the Computer Misuse Act 1990.

Cyber security trainer training qualifies you to deliver accredited cyber security awareness training to others, enabling you to issue certificates and build organisational cyber resilience capacity.
