Cyber Security Awareness Training That People Finish
Why role-based cyber security awareness training beats a generic session, with the finance-team fraud example, and what actually gets finished.
Cyber security training courses for employees
Fewer people click the wrong link, and the ones attackers target most, finance, HR, managers and executives, know exactly what is aimed at them. A 90-minute foundation for everyone, then 45-minute courses built around each role's real risks.
Who it is for
Every organisation, because every organisation is a target, and the attacks are now personal to the role. In 2024 a finance employee at the engineering firm Arup was talked into paying about US$25 million by a deepfake video call impersonating senior colleagues (widely reported, 2024). Generic awareness training does not prepare a finance team for that. A course built around payment fraud does.
What your team will be able to do
- Recognise modern attacks, including AI-written phishing, deepfake calls and business email compromise.
- Protect accounts and data with the habits that matter: strong authentication, verification before payment, safe handling of personal data.
- Know the first steps when something looks wrong, and report fast.
- Lead, approve and supervise with security in mind, for those whose role carries authority.

Questions
We already run annual awareness training. Why add this?
Most annual training is generic and short. These courses are role-specific and assessed: a finance team learns how invoice fraud actually works and the verification steps that stop it, not just "be careful".
Is the content UK-focused?
Yes. Reporting duties, the ICO's 72-hour breach notification window and UK guidance such as the NCSC's advice are covered where relevant, in UK English.
How do we prove completion?
Each course reports completion and a score to your LMS, which keeps the record and issues certificates.
