Cyber Security Units

I got back from holiday this morning to discover that all of the Units within the NPAs in Cyber Security have now been published. There are nine units in total (three at each SCQF Level) [PDFs].

Data Security (Level 4)
Data Security (Level 5)
Data Security (Level 6)
Digital Forensics (Level 4)
Digital Forensics (Level 5)
Digital Forensics (Level 6)
Ethical Hacking (Level 4)
Ethical Hacking (Level 5)
Ethical Hacking (Level 6)

We’re pretty pleased with these new National Units. The QDT took a lot of time and trouble to try to get them right. We hope that you like them too.

These Units are available now and can be delivered by any Scottish school or college (they are auto approved), either stand-alone or as part of the NPAs (which are awaiting validation).

We plan to produce support materials for these Units. There will be Assessment Support Packs (ASPs) coming and the Units will also be supported on uShare. Look out for these materials in the near future. In the meantime, contact Helen if you want any information about these Units.
