The TLM Level 2 Certificate in Cyber Security qualifications have been created in order to meet the needs of society that faces an ever more detailed and sustained attack on their privacy and personal data. The qualifications are designed to give students a wide-ranging and practical understanding of the skills and knowledge required to design and protect both internet and network-based systems from harm.
The qualifications and their associated programmes of study examine these issues in a way that allows learners to fully understand the
nature and range of threats that they will need to address and deal with in a real environment.
LEVEL 2 CERTIFICATE
Examined course
This qualification is designed for students who have an interest in digital security and the threats to IT systems. It is designed to give them a broad understanding of open systems so that they can then apply these to the understanding of threats to IT systems and how to counter these. It would suit any students interested in working in the growing industry related to cyber security, but also students interested in general employment involving IT, networking professions, infrastructure management, and data management. Cyber threats now affect all aspects of IT and organisations connected to the Internet, which is almost all.
The different units look at the best tools and applications needed for this process, but also the underlying technologies and methodologies that make these possible, particularly open source and open standards. It is important to understand the systems and services, as any online activity automatically attracts attacks and potentially damaging activities such as fraud. Learners will investigate these threats and security problems and make sure that their data and information are as safe as possible by securing the platforms used. All of these practical and theoretical skills and understanding build towards creating a safe and secure online system.
Total Credits required to achieve the qualification - 15
Mandatory Units:
- UNIT 1 - Understanding of Cyber Security and Online Threats (3 CREDITS)
- UNIT 2 - The Analysis and Understanding of Cyber Threats (3 CREDITS)
- UNIT 3 - The Application and Deployment of Security Tools and Best Practice (3 CREDITS)

TLM LEVEL 3 CERTIFICATE IN CYBER SECURITY PRINCIPLES
None-Examined course
This qualification is designed for students who have an interest in digital security and the threats to IT systems and as a coherent progression from a Level 2 qualification in CyberSecurity. It is designed to give them a broad understanding of open systems so that they can then apply these to the understanding of threats to IT systems and how to counter these. It would suit any students interested in working in the growing industry related to cyber security, but also students interested in general employment involving IT, networking professions, infrastructure management and data management. Cyber threats now affect all aspects of IT and organisations connected to the Internet, which is almost all.
The qualification covers the current state of cyber attacks and crime in order to prepare students with a career either directly in cyber defence or as part of a network team looking after a public facing infrastructure or private commercial network or any activity which is Internet based. It also covers the ways that threats are manifested and for what purposes. It investigates the types of exploits, attacks and threats faced and the machine based or human issues that make it easier or harder to defend computer systems.
The learners then develop the skills and understanding required to be able to deal with the various threats. They can then assemble all of this into a portfolio of evidence they can use for marketing themselves for FH/HE or employment.
