There are telescopic robots and bugging devices too, as well as an actual virus that was used to attack Iran’s nuclear program.

The Experience

Budding agents will enjoy an interactive journey packed with secret codes, encrypted riddles and immersive challenges that have been set by the former MI6 Head of Training. Will you make the grade?

You’ll finish the course with newfound superpowers, as well as a personal spy profile that will help you on your next mission, should you choose to accept it. If you’re looking for a new career, this could be it!
