What our students say

My favourite thing about this course is the facilities which are available to us, and that we can access them all the time. After finishing my Level 3 course at the college I have enrolled on the Bsc in Cyber Security at CAVC. After finishing this course I would like to progress on to a masters in Digital Forensics, and then work with the police department to catch cyber criminals.
