About this course

Written for the workplace, not for the statute book alone

Phishing training fails when it is a quiz of trick screenshots with no link to how your organisation actually verifies a CEO request or a vendor invoice. This course centres on judgement: what looks off, who to call, and how to report without fear of looking foolish.

Social engineering is not only email. Voice calls, instant messages, and fake collaboration invites sit beside classic phishing. Finance and HR get extra attention because payment diversion and payroll diversion still succeed when urgency overrides process.

Keep it short enough for annual mandatory training. Extend it with your own redacted examples once you generate the draft in Kre8AI from your playbook. That is how learners recognise the tone and logos attackers already copy from you.

Export to your LMS as SCORM, or run as HTML. Enable the AI coach if you want learners to ask clarifying questions about the approved material after the lesson — not during assessments unless you choose that. The course plays offline; the coach needs a network.

Pair this module with a wider cybersecurity awareness course if you want depth on passwords and devices, or keep it as a short standalone assignment after a live phishing simulation. Either way, the goal is fewer successful clicks and faster reporting — not a perfect score on a puzzle. Measure success by report volume quality, not by how hard the quiz was.
