"Detailed and thorough training in a great environment."
Anonymous, SYP. (8/1/2024 (Monday) to 12/1/2024 (Friday))

"I attended the Cyber Crime Foundation course with very little knowledge.. The instructor was fantastic, explained subjects in depth and allowed a good amount of time for questions. I came away with lots of knowledge ready to use what I''ve learnt in my day-to-day role."
JS. (8/1/2024 (Monday) to 12/1/2024 (Friday))

"I very much enjoyed the training! It is a must for police officers new to Cyber Crime Units and is delivered at a good pace. Very good trainer with exceptional knowledge and enthusiasm."
Steve Lloyd, West Mercia Police. (8/1/2024 (Monday) to 12/1/2024 (Friday))

"I have really enjoyed the course, although I have been a self-professed nerd for many years, there was still some knowledge I took from this course. The tutorials on practical applications is something I will take away and use."
