ISC2: CC (Cybersecurity Certification) Course at Edinburgh (Classroom, blended, virtual learning available).
2026-06-26 14:00 - 17:00
Introduction:

ITPT has forged a partnership with a distinguished cybersecurity membership organisation and certification provider, ISC2, to assist students in acquiring access to esteemed certifications recognised by global employers, such as the Certification in Cybersecurity (CC). Commencing with our Certified in Cyber Security (CC) certification, this programme equips newcomers or students from diverse backgrounds, including those without technical expertise, with foundational knowledge and readiness for entry-level positions within the contemporary cybersecurity workforce.

The term cybersecurity encompasses the collective methods, technologies, and processes aimed at safeguarding the confidentiality, integrity, networks, devices, and data against cyber-attacks or unauthorised access. It may also be referred to as IT security. Cybercriminals and malicious hackers frequently dominate news headlines. They have the capability to tarnish a company’s reputation and obliterate its business prospects in an instant, with the threat escalating rapidly. Consequently, cybersecurity is emerging as one of the world’s fastest-growing business sectors. Computing technology stands as one of the most expansive areas of growth in the current job market, particularly within the cyber realm. It offers employment opportunities to individuals who prefer working either globally or locally, often from the comfort of their own homes.

Prerequisite:

The CC course typically does not have specific prerequisites. It is designed to accommodate individuals from various backgrounds, including those without prior technical experience. However, a basic understanding of computer systems and networking concepts may be beneficial for learners to grasp the course material more effectively. Additionally, a strong willingness to learn and dedication to the subject matter are essential for success in the CC course.

Course Objective:

Learners will be able to perform the following tasks:

Domain 1: Security Principles
Domain 2: Business Continuity (BC), Disaster Recovery (DR) & Incident Response Concepts
Domain 3: Access Controls Concepts

Data Analytics Course @ Edinburgh (Classroom, blended, virtual learning available)
2026-07-30 18:00 - 21:00 | 21 Calder Road, Edinburgh, EH11 3PF
Introduction:

Businesses and organisations rely on data analysis to make critical strategic choices in today’s data-driven environment; therefore, data analysis becomes crucial to the survival and development of every company these days. Organisations may make thoughtful, well-informed decisions with the aid of data analysis. Expert data analysts are in high demand right now. Analysing data collections to identify trends and make judgments about the facts they contain is known as data analytics (DA). More often than not, specialist hardware and software are used to do data analytics. To help businesses, make better business decisions, data analytics tools and methodologies are widely employed in the commercial sector. Analytics tools are also used by scientists and researchers to support or refute scientific models, ideas, and hypotheses.

Tableau is an extremely valuable tool in data analytics because it transforms complex data into clear, actionable insights.

Tableau allows users to create interactive charts, graphs, and dashboards that make complex data easy to understand. This helps identify patterns, trends, and outliers quickly.
It can connect to a wide range of data sources, including spreadsheets, databases, and cloud services, enabling seamless data analysis across systems.
With its intuitive, drag-and-drop interface, Tableau enables even those without technical backgrounds to explore and analyse data effectively.
Users can filter, drill down, and explore data in real time, supporting deeper understanding and better decision-making.
Dashboards and reports can be securely shared with colleagues or stakeholders, ensuring everyone has access to the same insights.
Tableau can quickly process large data sets and update visualisations automatically as new data becomes available.

Tableau supports data analytics by making it easier to explore, understand, and communicate insights, ultimately enabling better, data-driven decisions.

Prerequisite:

No prerequisite, however basic Data Sciences excel, SQL and Tableau knowledge would be helpful but not mandatory.

Modes of Learning:
You have the option of undertaking this course via following learning modes:

Data Science with Python Programming & SQL Course @ Edinburgh
2026-07-31 18:00 - 21:00 | 21 Calder Road, Edinburgh, EH11 3PF
Introduction:
The course on Data Science with Python and SQL is essential in today’s data-driven world, as it equips individuals with the key skills to analyse, interpret, and extract insights from large datasets. Python, with its powerful libraries such as Pandas and NumPy, enables efficient data manipulation and statistical analysis, while SQL provides the foundation for managing, querying, and extracting data from relational databases. This combination not only allows students to handle real-world data but also helps them make data-driven decisions, solve complex problems, and automate processes in fields like business, finance, healthcare, and technology. Mastering both tools opens doors to a wide range of career opportunities and is fundamental for anyone looking to succeed in the rapidly evolving tech landscape.
Who are Data Analysts?
Data analysts are responsible for the collection, preparation, and analysis of large-scale datasets. Organisations of all sizes continuously generate and accumulate data in various forms, such as customer feedback, financial transactions, logistics information, and market research. Utilising programming languages like Python and querying tools such as SQL, data analysts extract actionable insights from this data. Their work supports strategic decision-making in areas such as optimising customer experience, setting pricing strategies for new products, and reducing transportation costs. Core responsibilities include data management, data modelling, and the creation of analytical reports.
What Does the Role of Data Analysis Entail in Relation to Python Programming and SQL?
The role of a data analyst involves extracting meaningful insights from structured and unstructured data to support informed business decisions. Proficiency in Python and SQL is fundamental to this process. Python is widely used for data cleaning, statistical analysis, and visualisation, while SQL is essential for querying and managing relational databases efficiently.
Graduates with a background in data science are in high demand across nearly all industries. For individuals seeking a significant career transition with strong earning potential, a career in data analytics or data science presents a compelling opportunity. Moreover, candidates with a comprehensive understanding of the field may explore a variety of specialized roles, such as data engineering, machine learning, or business intelligence.
Prerequisites:
This course begins at a foundational level and builds up to real-world applications, designed to accommodate learners from both technical and non-technical backgrounds.
