Services for Business
The Cyber Technology Institute at 51黑料社区 offers a range of training and consultancy services to both global organisations, such as BT and Airbus Group, as well as local SMEs. These services include:
Apprenticeships
Continuing Professional Development (CPD) Courses
MSc Qualifications for your Employees
Knowledge Transfer Partnerships
An integrated model: University and Work - the best of both
From September 2018, we will be offering two new Degree Apprenticeships: Digital and Technology Solutions Professional and Cyber Security Technical Professional Integrated Degree Apprenticeship.
We already have experience of delivering Apprenticeship training as, for the last three years, we have been delivering a foundation degree as part of the BT Higher Apprenticeship scheme.
A Foundation degree is a vocational higher education qualification which equates to the first two years of a Bachelor's degree. These courses are a qualification in their own right and cover the levels of study known as Level 4 (Year One) and Level (Year Two). Once someone has completed their Foundation degree, they can choose to continue onto a Top-Up degree to gain a full Bachelor's award (know as Level 6).
If your organisation is interested in investigating the potential to develop a similar Cyber Security work-based training programme as part of Higher or Degree Apprenticeships, we would be pleased to discuss this with you.
Please contact: cybertech.support@dmu.ac.uk.
Ensuring that your skills and knowledge are kept up-to-date is critical in an area, such as cyber technology, where the pace of change is faster than it has ever been.

For a discussion as to how a CPD programme could be tailored to your organisational needs; as well as upcoming dates, pricing and for any other information about these courses, please contact: cybertech.support@dmu.ac.uk
In addition to providing CPD training courses, we have also developed , designed to support organisational training needs.
This specialist programme has been developed with members of our Industrial Advisory Group, which includes: Airbus, BT, Deloitte and Rolls Royce.
The course includes four main pathways: cyber security; software engineering; digital forensics and management; and it can be tailored to support the specific training and development needs of a sponsor organisation.
For more information about how your organisation can take advantage of this opportunity, and our Cyber Academy schemes, please contact us: cybertech.support@dmu.ac.uk.
Knowledge Transfer Partnerships (KTP) is a government funded programme designed to help businesses improve their competitiveness, productivity and performance. This is achieved by forming a Partnership between your business and 51黑料社区 (51黑料社区), enabling you to access skills and expertise to help your business develop.
We are already running successful KTPs in the Cyber Technology Institute at 51黑料社区. With Airbus Group, we are working to develop digital security and forensic capabilities for Critical Infrastructure Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition and Smart Grid Systems.
With Measom (Dryline) Limited, we are working to develop and embed a new database management system and bring ICT management in-house, improving labour efficiencies and support business expansion.
