Lloyds Banking Group is dedicated to delivering high-quality apprenticeship experiences, empowering individuals to reach their full potential.
This is an opportunity to learn skills, gain a qualification and earn a salary, all while playing an important role in shaping finance as a force for good.
As a Level 4 Cyber Security apprentice, you’ll cover intermediate fundamentals of network security, cyber security, and risk management. Delivered by Firebrand, the level 4 Cyber Security Technologist apprenticeship will help you develop the skills required to implement a series of technical, procedural, and physical controls to monitor, detect, and respond to a wide range of cyber security threats.

* Threat, vulnerability, and risk assessment
* Operating system security
* Cryptography
* Information security and management frameworks

What you’ll need:

* You’ll need to be at least 18 years old on 1st September 2025.
Whilst we welcome candidates who have a degree, this cannot be in a field related to the apprenticeship due to a crossover in learning. We’ll request a copy of your degree module transcript to review if your degree may contain prior learning.
