PEPR Cybersécurité - Train Cyber Experts
The Train-Cyber-Expert project aims to build teaching resources, in the form of digital content and technology platforms, organized by skill block, with a view to modularity, reusability and skills-based teaching leading to certification.
These resources will be deployed by partners to enhance or reinforce their training offerings. As the core business of the academic partners is the awarding of Master's degrees (Bac+5, level 7), their main training offer will be geared towards this level of qualification. They will therefore develop a range of master's degrees, specialized master's degrees, specialized engineers in cybersecurity and post-master's degrees, with an emphasis on work-study programs to facilitate the professional integration of participants.

The proposed training courses will be submitted to France Compétences for RNCP and specific directory referencing, and to Anssi for SecNumEdu and SecNumEdu-FC labeling.
Objective
The content will also be used for large-scale awareness-raising campaigns.
The project comprises 4 actions:
- An action to govern the system, linking the training courses developed with the ecosystem, developing pedagogical engineering, ensuring the sustainability of content and training, developing links with research, and contributing to observatories.
- An initiative to develop digital, scientific, technical and human science teaching modules.
- An initiative to develop platforms for advanced practical work.
- An initiative to launch the first training courses and awareness-raising initiatives as early as 2023, so as to attract the first participants by the start of the 2024 academic year.
Method
These contents and training courses will be developed by a consortium whose involvement in the field of cybersecurity, both in training and research, is very important and recognized. The partners already offer 9 ANSSI-approved training courses. They are very active in academic research, with multiple participations in collaborative projects, including those of the PEPR cybersecurity of the national acceleration strategy. (link)
In addition to these technical fundamentals, the human and social sciences are very present in the consortium. This includes legal, economic and communication aspects. The aim is to ensure that trainees are able not only to make the right decisions in cybersecurity matters, but also to explain the risks and solutions to the highest levels of an organization's management, so as to ensure the best possible adherence of this managerial level to the necessary constraints linked to the deployment of digital tools.
Partners
Pooling activities within a group of France's leading institutions ensures the sustainability of activities beyond the funding of the TCE project, the training of a significant number of participants each year, in a wide range of territories, and the creation of several jobs to run the training courses and maintain the content developed at the state of the art. This mutualization is the key to facilitating a good economic balance as opposed to a set of local approaches that need to achieve a remarkable national audience to be able to train a large number of students and professionals.
The IMT group coordinates the project, including TSP, IMT BS, Telecom Paris, and IMT Atlantique, IMT Ales, Mines Saint Etienne, as well as ten academic and economic partners of the project, Eurecom, CEA, Centrale Supelec, Université Paris-Saclay, Université de Versailles Saint-Quentin en Yvelines, Agence nationale des fréquences, plateforme Micro-Packs platform, Gimelec group, Stormshied, Erium, Wallix, Gimelec group, Smart Building Alliance (SBA)
