About Course

Course Description

Every day, millions of people become victims of online scams, phishing attacks, identity theft, and data breaches—not because they lack intelligence, but because cyber criminals continuously evolve their tactics.

Cyber Security Fundamentals is a beginner-friendly course designed to help you understand how to protect yourself, your family, and your digital identity. Whether you’re a student, working professional, business owner, teacher, or someone who simply uses the internet, this course will equip you with practical knowledge to stay safe online.

Unlike technical cyber security courses, this program focuses on real-life situations. You’ll learn how to recognise online fraud, create strong passwords, identify phishing emails and fake websites, secure your social media accounts, protect your personal information, and respond confidently if you become a victim of a cyber attack.

By the end of this course, you won’t just know what cyber threats are—you’ll know how to avoid them in your daily life.

No prior technical knowledge is required. Just bring your curiosity and a willingness to learn.
