6 Developing cyber talent of the future. The course is aimed at students who have not yet made their GCSE choices, so that they get the opportunity to see how studying Computer Science could potentially augment and enhance their future career prospects.

It is designed for year old pupils with a demonstrable interest in Computing and provides them with a valuable introduction to all the tools, knowledge and skills Cyberists need to build and protect small networks and personal devices.
