There is a Teams* event (with two dates to pick from) coming up this month for London teachers / educators to find out more about the Qufaro Headstart in Cyber Security programme for their Year 9 students.

Alongside the course there will also be an online mentoring programme available, which is linked with STEM Ambassadors.

*It’s recommended that you download the Teams app in advance of the event.

Attached is a PDF flyer about the events to introduce the course and sponsorship. Find out more and get your questions answered – you can also keep up with them on Twitter (@ISACANews and @QufaroCyberSec).
