Firebrand leads the charge in corporate Cybersecurity training as UK businesses face mounting cyber threats

As cyber threats continue to rank among the top risks for UK organisations, Firebrand Training today announces the expansion of its Cybersecurity-focused training programmes. This strategic move addresses the critical need for robust Cybersecurity defences in businesses grappling with an increasingly volatile digital threat landscape It also reinforces Firebrand's commitment to building high-performing teams equipped with the specialised skills and certifications essential for navigating today’s complex security environment.

Recent statistics underscore the urgency: UK businesses have collectively lost an estimated £44 billion to cyberattacks over the past five years. More than half of large organisations report cyber incidents annually, highlighting the growing demand for highly skilled professionals who can respond with speed and precision.

To help close this gap, Firebrand has launched a suite of six online live courses focused on high-demand skills across Cybersecurity and IT infrastructure. These  instructor-led courses offer an immersive virtual experience that allows learners to get hands on with latest industry platforms, targeted simulations and demonstrations whilst building peer connections. All maintaining Firebrand’s hallmark of a distraction-free, accelerated way to pass certification exams.

The first set of programmes includes:

• CISSP® (Certified Information Systems Security Professional®) — ISC2
• CEH® (Certified Ethical Hacker®) — EC-Council
• SEC+ (Security+) — CompTIA
• CCNA (Cisco Certified Network Associate) — Cisco
• PMP® (Project Management Professional®) — PMI
• PRINCE2® (Projects IN Controlled Environments®) — PeopleCert

Delivered over just 5–6 days, each course mirrors the intensity and pace of real-world IT environments. combining rigorous theoretical instruction with hands-on, practical application, helping learners hit the ground running in critical technical roles.

The flexibility of the online format means learners can study from wherever they are based—meaning organisations can upskill teams faster and individuals can gain industry certifications with minimal disruption to their work schedules. Every course is also backed by a Certification Guarantee meaning that learners who don’t pass their exam on the first attempt can retake it free of charge, reflecting Firebrand’s commitment to learner success.

“This is about equipping businesses with the talent they urgently need,” said Paul Rowlett, Managing Director of Firebrand. “Cybersecurity is no longer optional—it’s operationally critical. Our courses make enterprise-grade training more accessible, frequent, and impactful than ever before.”

Firebrand will launch five additional courses in September, further scaling its reach in Cybersecurity and enterprise training.
