What other teachers have said
Campbell College, Belfast - Silver Award 2021
Our students have been involved in CyberFirst activities for a number of years and we are delighted to have our efforts in the promotion of cyber security, robotics and digital technologies recognised by the National Cyber Security Centre through the CyberFirst Scheme.
We are especially excited by the opportunities this affords to us in the continued development of industry related links, staff development opportunities and increased engagement with local and national schools and colleges.
We hope our engagement with this scheme can further help promote computing and cyber education amongst our students by helping to increase awareness of opportunities for outside the classroom and in future employment areas.
This is a very exciting opportunity to work with and benefit from the expertise of industry, academia and the National Cyber Security Centre. ”
SGS Berkeley Green UTC, Gloucestershire - Gold Award 2021
SGS Berkeley Green UTC exists to prepare students in KS4 and KS5 for a career in cyber security, and the award of CyberFirst Gold status recognises the efforts and commitment of our students and staff.
The pandemic has forced all types of organisations and users to move their day-to-day working practices online. Our specialist and wider cyber security curriculum not only develops students’ technical skills, but also provides a strong grounding in cyber risks and effective cyber hygiene; which we believe is essential in preparing our young people for the working world.
Our partnership with the NCSC and the CyberFirst programme affords our students unrivalled opportunities to learn about the varied cyber careers, and network with industry colleagues. As a result, they are enthused and inspired, which is having a positive impact on their learning.
