Whether you're a security newbie or a tech pro, TryHackMe is the place to go for practical, fun cyber security training – and that training starts at just £9 per month.
The world is experiencing a cyber security skills gap, with thousands of companies seeking experts to keep their systems safe and finding it hard to get the right people. That's because it's an increasingly important field for all kinds of companies: the UK Government reports that four in ten businesses and three in ten charities experienced cyber security breaches or attacks over the last year. That’s 612,000 businesses and 61,000 charities.
If you have the skills to fight back, you'll be very popular. According to the World Economic Forum's Future of Jobs Report 2025, information security analysts will be among the top 15 fastest growing professions worldwide through 2030 and beyond.
Cyber security isn't a sector you can just walk into, however. Having the right skills and the real-world knowledge of how to use them is crucial: companies aren't interested in taking beginners and giving them basic cyber security training. And that throws up some big barriers: it can be hard to identify what skills are in demand, it can be expensive to get the training, and it can be hard to find training that fits around your current commitments. That last one's a particular problem if you're already working and want to change careers.
TryHackMe breaks down those barriers for you.

A smarter way to learn cyber security
TryHackMe features over 900 online, on-demand training modules (called rooms), comprising multiple learning pathways suited to all levels, from the complete beginner to the seasoned hacker. And those pathways include everything from Cyber Security 101 to DevSecOps, Advanced Endpoint Investigations, Offensive PenTesting and platform-specific pathways including Azure and AWS.
TryHackMe goes beyond textbooks, enabling you to put the theory into practice and work with interactive real-world scenarios. And because everything is online and on demand, you can learn at the schedule and speed that suits your life.
Lessons that you'll love to learn
TryHackMe's training isn't just up-to-date – crucial in this ever-changing field – and effective. It's fun too. That's because the lessons are designed to be engaging and entertaining. TryHackMe makes great use of gamification features such as hacking streaks, time-based challenges and competitive leaderboards.
Instead of learning by reading, TryHackMe teaches learning by doing. The skills you'll learn are real-world tested, and you can get real-world certification such as the Jr Penetration Tester (PT1) certification and Security Analyst Level 1 (SAL1) certification.
The pathways that TryHackMe delivers are organised by rooms, each of which is a virtual lab with a challenge to solve. Each lab is hands-on and based on real-world security issues, and TryHackMe also makes great use of online community to foster collaboration and knowledge sharing.
