We are delighted to have been awarded the Cyber Essentials Certification for the 5th consecutive year running. This is a prestigious achievement, awarded by the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC), which highlights our commitment to maintaining the highest standards of cyber security.
In an increasingly digital world, safeguarding data and demonstrating robust cyber security practices are not just priorities, but necessities. Retaining this certification year after year reaffirms our dedication to providing a secure and trustworthy environment.
What is the Cyber Essentials Certification?
The Cyber Essentials Certification, awarded by the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC), is a widely recognised accreditation that helps organisations protect themselves against the most common cyber threats. This certification ensures that businesses implement a strong foundation of cyber security measures.
For the team here at itec, this certification is more than just a badge of honour, it’s a reflection of our ethos to lead by example and continuously uphold the highest standards of practice.
What does this mean for you?
Our Cyber Essentials certification carries significant benefits for our employees, learners and employers. Here’s why it’s important:
1. Peace of Mind for Learners, Employers, and Parents
For our learners, employers, and their families, the certification is a reassurance that their data is secure with us. In an age where cyber threats are constantly evolving, knowing that an organisation prioritises security is crucial.
By retaining this certification, we show that we are serious about protecting sensitive information, whether it’s learner records, employer contracts, or communications with parents and guardians.
2. Trust and Credibility
Being listed in the NCSC’s approved directory of certified organisations demonstrates our commitment to excellence and compliance with rigorous standards. This certification is a clear signal to our partners that we are a trustworthy and reliable organisation to work with.
3. A Competitive Edge in Apprenticeship Services

We practice what we preach, ensuring that the measures we promote in our training and services are actively implemented across our organisation.
