Components of the Training Program

How It Works

You must complete all eight training modules to receive a completion certificate for this course. Most of these modules are delivered weekly.
Each week will consist of a virtual session conducted by CISO introducing the topic for that week, and 2-3 hours of self-paced learning. The first half of each session will be a review of the previous module assignments, and our trained coordinators and CISOs will provide feedback on implementation strategies. The second half of the session will introduce the next topic.
In between structured module training sessions, trainees can contact Cocoon CS support for help while working through the self-paced portion.

This course consists of 22-35 hours of training (depending on the duration of self-paced progress)
Once started, this training program is generally completed within ten weeks (unless an extended training arrangement is made)

Completion

After completing the training modules, you will have built and launched a cybersecurity program for your organization.

Trainees will receive a certificate of completion from Cocoon CS detailing the areas in which they have been trained.
