For every organisation, cyber security is no longer a nice-to-have, it is a necessity. The risks of ransomware, phishing, and data breaches are rising, and the consequences of a single incident can be devastating in terms of cost, reputation, and disruption.
At TDM, our Cyber Security Technologist Level 4 Apprenticeship offers employers the chance to grow in-house expertise, shaping talent to fit the specific needs of their organisation. Employers can invest in building long-term resilience by developing their own people, using the programme to upskill existing staff with specialist cyber skills, while also recruiting new talent to strengthen and futureproof their teams.
This apprenticeship develops confident professionals who can identify risks, implement secure processes, and protect systems, data, and people. With two specialist pathways in Cyber Security Engineering and Cyber Risk Analysis, apprentices focus on the skills most relevant to your organisation. Learning is not randomised: it is embedded directly into workplace practice, meaning apprentices are applying knowledge in real-world contexts from the very beginning. For employers, that means apprentices add value as they learn, constantly growing in their professional development journey.
Our approach at TDM is foundationally based in Genuinely Work-Based Learning. Apprentices receive expert coaching and structured development while continuing to deliver within their roles. Modules cover essential areas such as networking fundamentals, cryptography, cyber policy, management, implementation, and troubleshooting. Alongside technical expertise, apprentices also build professional behaviours and confidence, ensuring they can operate effectively within teams and across the wider business.
The impact of this apprenticeship reaches beyond the development of individual learners. Current employers that we work with will see stronger recruitment pipelines, great opportunities to reskill existing staff, and higher retention rates, as employees feel valued and invested in. And with government funding that we have available, it is also a cost-effective way to address one of the biggest challenges businesses face today.
Cyber threats are not slowing down. By acting now, employers can stay ahead, securing not just their systems but also their future capability. Through the Cyber Security Technologist Level 4 Apprenticeship, you can develop the in-house expertise needed to protect your organisation and support sustainable growth.
