Delivery

This course can be delivered in one of three ways. The first is an e-learning or self-paced environment where no instructor is involved. Should the subscriber choose this option, the course will be delivered via video instruction with pauses during this 5-day course for the students to complete the interactive keyboard CYRIN labs, exercises, and attack scenarios.

An instructor led course can be delivered in one of two ways. The first is online via Zoom or Google Hangouts or a similar platform where a live instructor manages a remote classroom environment. In this mode, the instructor leads students through the course with appropriate breaks where students complete assigned CYRIN interactive labs. Finally, the curriculum can be delivered in a traditional classroom setting where the students and the instructor are together in one physical location. In the current situation the last option is extremely limited. Contact us for details.
