<h1>Private aviation training launches national cybersecurity scholars program with 18-week course, graduates listed as National Security Database assets</h1> A private aviation training arm launched a national cyber security scholars program in collaboration with government cyber response and sector information-sharing bodies, establishing an 18-week, 160-hour instructor-led course for emerging cybersecurity leaders. Graduates are to be designated as 'national assets' under the National Security Database, potentially affecting their legal status, access to sensitive infrastructure roles, and eligibility for state capacity-building assignments. The initiative signals regulatory and security coordination between private training providers and government cybersecurity authorities and may influence workforce certification, clearance processes, and public-private risk management.
