Programme structure
The 7 CISO modules on our website can be booked separately according to your personal interests, but together they also form one complete training programme.
Each module lasts two days and includes a follow-up session to complete an assignment. The track consists of six content modules and a certification module. You decide when you start, in which order you take modules 1 to 6, and at what pace, to suit your time and budget. Module 7 is the capstone of the track, with a master project.
You put your track together flexibly, based on your schedule, budget and prior knowledge. The content modules can be taken in any order. The track concludes with a master project in which you put what you have learnt into practice.
So you set the pace of your own track, and can complete it within 6, 12 or 24 months.
Target group
On the one hand, this track is aimed at technical profiles looking for solid training that takes security all the way up to policy level.
On the other hand, it also suits professionals who want to learn the fundamentals of cybersecurity, so that they can set up, monitor and manage a sound information security and cyber policy without being technical experts themselves.
