Overview

In the UK, cybersecurity managers are in high demand due to rising cyber threats. The average salary ranges from £60,000 to £90,000, with a projected need for 3.5 million new cyber professionals by 2026.

The IT industry offers a variety of job pathways in fields including data science, software development, and cybersecurity, all of which foster ongoing learning and professional development. Additionally, a career in IT encourages innovation and problem-solving, empowering people to make significant contributions to societal improvements.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
