IT Online Learning Partner with EC-Council to Tackle the Cybersecurity Skills Shortage in the UK

The global cybersecurity market is currently worth $173bn and is expected to grow to $270bn by 2026, according to the Australian Cyber Security Growth Network. With such a rapid growth rate and a rise in IT dependency from companies, skilled cybersecurity professionals are in high demand. The partnership between EC-Council and IT online learning offers a solution to help tackle the skills shortage in cybersecurity. By combining forces, students will have access to fully accredited courses and gain internationally recognised certifications. They will also have access to EC-Council’s learning option, iLearn, where they will be able to study at their own pace.

Jeremy Dargie, Director of IT online learning commented, “We’re delighted to have partnered with EC-Council to become an official reseller of their cyber security courses. Our mission is to empower our students with the knowledge, qualifications and career skills to help them achieve their career goals and success in life. Thanks to the new partnership, our students will have access to official EC-Council content and be able to prepare effectively for their exams by those who created them.”

Since launching their flagship program, Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH) back in 2002, EC-Council have become the world’s largest cyber security technical certification body. After the success of the CEH course, they have developed a range of information security certifications to accommodate the skills needed for every cyber security job role. IT beginners should start with the Certified Network Defender (CND) course before progressing onto the CEH course. Whereas, senior authoritative members of staff can study at the highest level, Chief Information Security Officer (CISO). No matter your desired career path or your level of experience in cyber security, there is a course to help you progress up the career ladder.
