I had been trying to get into cyber security for over a year after finishing my IT degree, but every job I applied for wanted experience I didn’t have. The Swiss Training House programme completely changed that. The course content was clear and practical, and my mentor walked me through how real companies handle risk management and incident response.
During the remote placement, I worked on actual security policies and a mock GDPR compliance audit, things I could talk about confidently in interviews. Within a few weeks of finishing, I landed a Junior Information Security Analyst role at a financial firm. I can’t recommend this programme enough for anyone serious about breaking into the field.
