Bletchley Park: 'Codebreakers school' planned for site

2017-03-31 0 Dailymotion

Bletchley Park, the site of secret code-deciphering projects during World War Two, could become the centre for a new generation of codemakers and codebreakers. <br /> <br />There are plans for a training college to teach cybersecurity skills to 16-19 year olds at the Buckinghamshire site. <br /> <br />Former Home Secretary Lord Reid said it had become vital to build up the "talent pool" for cyber-defence. <br /> <br />The college in a wartime building at Bletchley is intended to open in 2018. <br /> <br />Developed by a not-for-profit group from the cybersecurity industry, it will open as a boarding college, with around 10% of places for day students. <br /> <br />The National College of Cybersecurity will be free to all students it selects as "gifted and talented". <br /> <br />The students would work towards National Qualification Level 3, with 40% of the curriculum devoted to cybersecurity - with extra focus on maths, physics, computer science or economics.
