ALL DECK!

We've been navigating the cyber skills gap now for at least a decade and recent estimates still put the number of unfilled positions across the globe as high as 3 million.

Capture the Talent say evidence is pointing towards practical, hands-on training and assessment methods to tap into new pools of talent Let's look at why that is

WHY PRACTICAL TRAINING?

Classroom-style training is fine, and if you have a tutor who can add a bit of pizzazz, then you might stay interested for longer than 30 minutes But as humans, we ' re not wired for sitting still and listening for long periods of time

Incorporating practical, hands-on training as part of a course is imperative if we expect students to retain information, especially in an industry where having the theory rarely prepares you for the reality of the role

HOW CAN CTF EVENTS HELP?

Capture the Flag events are a great way of testing the practical and professional skills of many people in a single sitting

We support businesses in identifying internal training needs and finding the right talent for unfilled positions using CTFs covering various disciplines, including soft skills.

DON'T CERTIFICATIONS DO THIS?!

We're glad you asked! Certifications are great some of them anyway However, a lot of certs focus too much on the theory and not enough on the actual doing.

Security isn't a multiple choice occupation, so why are we testing people with multiple choice exams? Doesn't make sense to us

That's why all of our training incorporates practical exercises to ensure students can test out the theory

IN PERSON OR VIRTUAL TRAINING?

Virtual Training

Virtual training is great if you ' re looking for something that's lower cost, self-paced and convenient It's fab for individual students and those on a budget

IN-PERSON TRAINING

In-person training is proven to help you retain more information. It's best for groups with a common goal, those wanting a deep dive into a particular subject, and businesses who need their team to be at the top of their game
