Training and Courses
In January 2022 I decided I wanted to move into Cyber Security. Although in policing I dealt with Cyber Crime, Data Breaches, Fraud etc. that would help with my transition, I needed to look at what training and qualifications would be beneficial. To date, I have spent very little money on training as I quickly Identified the vast amount of resources that are out there completely free. In the coming weeks and months, I will be adding resources to this page so watch this space.
