Cybersecurity Awareness Training for Employees
Most breaches start with a person who clicked one link or trusted one convincing call. This course turns everyday habits into your organisation's strongest defence. No technical background needed.

- Managers and team leads responsible for their team's security habits
What you will be able to do
- Spot phishing by email, text, phone and QR code, including AI-generated scams and deepfakes
- Use strong passphrases, a password manager and MFA, and resist MFA-fatigue attacks
- Keep sensitive company and customer data out of public AI tools and other unapproved apps
- Work safely on public Wi-Fi, while travelling and in collaboration tools
- Respond to a suspected incident: stop, preserve evidence and report quickly, without fear of blame
How the course works
Every section follows the same rhythm: a threat explained, a real case, exactly what to do, and a realistic workplace scenario to practise on before the answer is revealed. Role plays let you rehearse the hard moments, such as a call from someone claiming to be IT or an urgent payment request.
Everything comes down to three words you will remember long after the course: pause, verify, report.
What this course is not
- Not technical training for IT or security staff: for that, see the CyberSecurity Bootcamp
- Not a guarantee against breaches: it reduces your risk from the most common and most expensive attacks
About GDPR, NIS2 and other rules
The course explains, in plain English, what rules such as GDPR, PCI DSS, DORA and NIS2 expect from everyday employees. It is awareness training, not a compliance programme. NIS2 places separate training duties on management bodies, which this course does not cover. Last checked: November 2026.
Questions
Can we use it as our annual awareness training?
It is designed for that: short lessons, practice scenarios and a final assessment, with a Udemy certificate of completion for each learner. Whether it meets a specific obligation depends on your sector and your own training programme.
How long does it take?
About an hour and a half of video, in short lessons that fit around normal work.
Pause. Verify. Report.
Ninety minutes that make every employee harder to fool.
