Cystel Academy was set up by a team of British academics who have more than 40 years of combined experience in the university sector.
We believe that education in AI and cyber security must combine practical experience and theory and must go beyond programming to offer a wide range of career options and upskilling opportunities for all job seekers regardless of their educational background.
