NCSC’s Cyber Security Training for Staff

Free cyber security e-learning for small to medium sized businesses, charities and the voluntary sector

Published: 2021

Summary: A free e-learning training package published by the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC), which is part of the UK’s Government Communications Headquarters.

It’s primarily aimed at small to medium sized businesses, charities and the voluntary sector. It has been deliberately designed for a non-technical audience, who may have little or no knowledge of cyber security.

It’s easy-to-use and takes less than 30 minutes to complete.

The training introduces why cyber security is important and how attacks happen, and then covers four key areas:

  • defending yourself against phishing
  • using strong passwords
  • securing your devices
  • reporting incidents (‘if in doubt, call it out’)

The training can be accessed directly via the NCSC website, or integrated into e-learning training platforms.
