“ I would recommend the course for those who wish to learn something new or expand their knowledge in a related area .”
Duncan Napier Studying for a career in Cyber Security
I am studying HNC : Cyber Security . I have a background in Networking and this course was seen as a natural extension to broaden my knowledge .
Similar courses that are offered at universities were only being offered on a postgraduate basis for which there was no funding available . So , I was researching courses I could use for professional development and to reinforce my existing knowledge and skills . My favourite parts are networking , ethical hacking , digital forensics and Python programming .
I am working part-time at Fife College as a Trainer / Assessor in Digital Technologies whilst completing my course .
I would like to expand my knowledge and pass that experience on to others in a lecturing capacity or start my own technical training company .
