Authorship

Who Is Behind These Courses?

Siker has collaborated with CFL Cyber to make these courses available. They were authored by Steve Shepherd MBE, who has joined Siker as Managing Director and Head of Academy. Steve previously wrote and developed many similar technical courses at 7Safe and PA Consulting - attendees from law enforcement and industry will remember the technical depth as well as the dry sense of humour that makes even the most complex subjects engaging.

Hands-On, Not Just Theory

We believe forensic and technical cyber skills are best learned by doing, not death by PowerPoint.

Every course, from foundation level onwards, is practical and hands-on. You will work with real artefacts, real tools and realistic scenarios - building genuine familiarity with new topics before you encounter them in the real world.

“Tell me, and I will forget. Show me, and I will remember. Let me do it, and I will understand.”
