PR Newswire

HIGH WYCOMBE, England, April 9, 2014



APM Group has announced it is working with CESG to deliver its new cyber security training certification scheme.  The CESG Certified Training (CCT) scheme is designed to assure high quality cyber security training courses delivered by training providers. APM Group is an independent Certification Body which been appointed by CESG to assess the courses for content and delivery.  Training courses will be assessed under the CCT scheme against the relevant areas of the IISP Skills Framework.

The new CCT scheme complements the CESG Certified Professional (CCP) scheme.

The new CCT scheme will help individuals and businesses identify which training courses are most relevant to their current role(s) as a part of a comprehensive learning pathway for the cyber security profession as a whole.

The CCT scheme will be launched in June 2014 and will be managed by APM Group.  It is expected that the first courses will be 'CESG certified' by late summer 2014.
