CAPSLOCK Education has secured £540,000 in a pre-seed funding round from GC Angels, the Ufi VocTech Trust, Tynton Group, private angel investors and the UK government to reskill adults across the UK.
Founded in 2019 by Dr Andrea Cullen, Jonathan Slater and Lorna Armitage, CAPSLOCK’s intensive training bootcamp reskills adults into cyber security professionals within six months. Designed in collaboration with industry leaders including Lloyds Banking Group, BT and Dell, the course has a strong careers-outcome focus, equipping learners with the necessary skills to pursue high-paying, competitive roles in cyber security. Learners also have the option to gain five industry-recognised cyber certifications alongside their studies, further enhancing their employability.
