The UK is grappling with a significant cyber security talent deficit across basic, intermediate, and advanced skills. This gap leaves businesses and critical infrastructure vulnerable to cyber threats.
Nearly half of all UK businesses are actively recruiting for roles requiring data skills including analysts, data scientists, and engineers. There are an estimated 178,000–234,000 vacancies nationwide according to Gov UK.
With a 50% rise in serious incidents this year, with four nationally significant attacks every week. That’s not hype; it’s the new normal. For businesses, cyber risk now sits alongside inflation and geopolitics as a top board concern.
With the slow influx of new, skilled talent and evolving technology needs, network professionals are in high demand across the UK. Particularly in communications infrastructure and network security.
According to Forbes a striking 93% of UK businesses report there is an IT skills gap in the jobs market with 81% of businesses reporting difficulties in filling IT roles. Start your IT career.
51% of UK employers consider hiring talent with AI skills a priority but 71% of those say they can’t find the talent they need. Get these in-demand skills and help close the skills shortage in the UK.

Built with employers, for employers. Our programmes are designed around real job roles and current UK hiring needs – combining live labs, capstone projects, and industry-recognised certifications (CompTIA, Microsoft, Forescout and more). You’ll learn the tools, workflows and standards teams actually use, coached by practitioners who’ve been there and done it.
From day one you’ll follow a clear pathway into roles like Cyber Analyst, Data Analyst, Ethical Hacker, Network Engineer, AI Engineer or IT Helpdesk. Expect hands-on training, real-world project work, expert career support (CV, interview prep), and a job-ready skillset that lets you add value from your first week on the job.
We’re proud to see our learners progress into roles with recognised organisations including the NHS, Ocado, Octopus Energy, Fujitsu, BT, Sky, Barclays, HSBC, Capgemini, HMRC, Darktrace, Quorum Cyber and more.

Aayushi has a background in education, program coordination, and data management, where working with data was a core part of improving reporting, planning, and operational outcomes. Alongside her professional experience, she completed a degree in Computer Science and had a strong interest in data analysis, mathematics, and problem solving throughout her studies.
