The EC-Council Essential Series is a cybersecurity workforce development initiative by Australian Polytechnic Institute.

There is an accelerating shortage of cybersecurity professionals across the globe, including in Australia. However, becoming a cyber security specialist is way above being an IT professional. It requires multi-disciplinary knowledge, people management skills, systematic planning, technical skill, concurrency, hands-on experience, and, most importantly, hard work.

An accredited certification course globally endorsed in the industry is the best way to start. However, few well-structured courses and learning pathways are available to fill the skill gap and build a solid foundation for aspiring cyber security professionals. The EC-Council essential series is well equipped to build solid foundations and boost your confidence to combat cyber-crimes. It consists of three critical building blocks of cyber security.
