The QA Hall of Fame shines a spotlight on the amazing achievements of our learners and the ways in which they shape the tech industry and give back to their communities. 

Meet Stephanie  

Steph was the first woman in the UK to complete a cyber security apprenticeship. Not only that – she achieved the highest possible grade, a distinction. 

How did you get into cyber? 

“I chose to do the cybersecurity apprenticeship because it offered a mix of theory and practical knowledge – as well as the opportunity to work in the industry and gain experience. I could apply new skills in a real-world security environment. Earning while you learn is a bonus too!” 

What’s your job like? 

“At HORIBA MIRA, I’ve learned so much about cybersecurity, particularly in the automotive domain. My knowledge ranges from building and programming tools to covering issues like data privacy – as well as becoming familiar with automotive cybersecurity standards. I’ve used what I learned in the classroom on networking and cryptography to further my understanding of how it’s used in vehicles. My apprenticeship has set me up for the challenges presented by securing modern vehicles.”
