The Short Answers
What does cyber security training for employees cover?
Why cyber attacks and data breaches happen, who the ‘cyber threat actors’ are and what motivates them, how to recognise and deal with phishing, password and device security for phones, laptops, tablets and desktops, how to report a suspected attack, and what to do if you make a mistake.
Why train staff in cyber security?
Many attacks start with a person: a phishing email clicked, a weak password, an unlocked laptop. Training helps your people spot the red flags and act quickly. Under UK GDPR, organisations must also take appropriate technical and organisational measures to keep personal data secure.
How long is the course?
About 25 minutes, in two short modules: Cyber Security, an Overview, and Combating Cyber Attacks. Each ends with a short test, and you get a certificate when you pass.

What the Cyber Security Course Covers
Two short modules, each with a multiple-choice test. You need 70% to pass each one.
Cyber Security: An Overview
What cyber attacks and data breaches are, who commits them and why you or your organisation could be a target.
Combating Cyber Attacks
Recognising red flags such as phishing, securing passwords and devices, reporting an attack and what to do if a mistake happens.
Cyber Security Awareness Training for the Whole Team
Cyber security isn’t just an IT job. Every employee who uses email, a phone or a laptop can open the door to an attack, so the best defence is a team that knows the warning signs and reports them straight away.
For a whole organisation, a subscription account lets you enrol everyone, track who has finished and keep the certificates for audits. Pair it with anti-money laundering training for finance and customer-facing teams.

Common Questions
Who is the course for?
Employees at all levels, from new starters to managers and directors. It gives an overview of the most common cyber security threats businesses face, so it suits anyone who uses email or company devices.
Is the course accredited?
Yes. It’s approved by CPD and IIRSM, and you get a certificate when you pass, which can count towards CPD records.
What is phishing?
Phishing is a message, usually an email or text, designed to trick you into clicking a link, opening an attachment or handing over details such as passwords. The course shows you the red flags to look for and what to do if you think you’ve been targeted.
How often should staff do cyber security training?
There’s no fixed legal interval. Most organisations include it in induction and refresh it regularly, often once a year, because the threats change. Refresh it sooner after an incident or a near miss.
Can I train my whole team?
Yes. Buy several places, or set up a subscription account for your organisation. It’s SCORM and single sign-on (SSO) compatible. Ask us for team pricing using the form on this page.
