ISC2 Certified in Cybersecurity Training

The official ISC2 Certified in Cybersecurity (CC) training course is an entry-level programme designed to introduce learners to the core concepts and principles of cyber security.

The course provides a structured foundation across key areas such as information security principles, risk management, access control, network security, security operations, incident response, business continuity, and disaster recovery.

It is designed for learners with little or no previous cyber security experience and provides a strong starting point for entering the profession or progressing towards more advanced certifications.

A blended learning approach combines live instructor-led sessions with self-paced study materials, giving participants both guided learning and the flexibility to review content independently.

The programme is aligned with the ISC2 Certified in Cybersecurity exam and is designed to help learners approach certification with greater confidence and a clearer understanding of the core domains.

No previous cyber security experience or formal technical prerequisites are required.
