Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what military training is provided to people recruited into the Cyber Direct Entry programme.

Cyber Direct Entry recruits will receive military training specific to their cyber career pathway. Successful candidates will complete three to five weeks of basic training at either HMS Raleigh or RAF Halton, shorter than the typical 10-week course. This training will be followed by three months of specialist training at the Defence Cyber Academy.
