Cyberfirst
What is CyberFirst
Inspired and led by the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) - a part of GCHQ, CyberFirst is a programme of activities helping young people aged 11-17yrs, explore their passion for tech and computing by introducing them to the world of cyber security. Each student course is designed to seek out young people with potential, offering the support, skills, experience and exposure they need to be the future first line of defence in our CyberFirst world.
Welcome to the new online CyberFirst courses
All of the courses are carefully designed to bring out every student’s potential. You’ll delve into how everyday technology really works; how the systems and software that surround us are connected to each other; how information flows through networks; and how we can take sensible steps to protect our digital world. Perhaps most importantly, everyone who does CyberFirst gains a strong sense of responsibility – to act safely, legally and ethically. Integrity is an underpinning principle of everything we teach and something that defines the cyber security profession.
Our Trailblazers and Adventurers Virtual Courses are:
- Fun, free and interactive;
- Instructor-led in virtual classrooms;
