Which Course is for me?

Good Afternoon,


I have woke up this morning with an urge to better myself! 


I am very interested in computer programming and have been dabbling as a hobby for a couple of years.


Would you be able to advise which course is best for me? Like I stated I like computer programming but I also have an interest in cyber security, are there any courses in which I can do elements of both?


Kind Regards
