Pre-registration for the CyberEPQ 2018/19 academic year is now open

The CyberEPQ is the UK’s first and only Extended Project Qualification (EPQ) in Cyber Security, developed by a consortium of education and cyber security partners to help provide a starting point for anyone considering a career in cyber security. It is a Level 3 qualification, certified by City & Guilds and taught using distance learning tools. The course has been modeled after the National Occupational Standards in cyber security and offers up to 28 UCAS points.

National College of Cyber Security application update

The Department for Education (DfE) has announced that pre-application for the next wave of free schools will open on 18 June with the deadline for submission as 17 September 2018.

Qufaro is very pleased with this announcement as we have spent considerable resources on preparing for this moment. However, it is apparent that the free schools programme remains challenged with only 35 schools expected to be approved by the DfE this time.

Qufaro Christmas Update

Just over a year ago, Qufaro announced its intention to help deliver the cyber workforce necessary to protect British citizens and organisations against the increasing threat of cyber-attack. The first element of this was to develop and deliver the UK’s first Extended Project Qualification (EPQ) in cyber security.
