Four modules, one course

Full syllabus

All four are required. They run in order, because each one assumes what came before it.

01
Weeks 1–2

Soft skills

The part that decides whether the technical part gets you anywhere. How to organise yourself, work with people you did not choose, and keep going when a course gets hard.

02
Weeks 3–4

Entrepreneurship

Turning an idea into something that exists. Spotting a problem worth solving, putting numbers to it, and explaining it to someone who could back it.

03
Weeks 5–6

Artificial intelligence

What generative AI actually does, how to use it well, and when not to use it at all. Practical from the first session.

04
Weeks 7–8

Cybersecurity

How to protect yourself and other people online. Starts with what affects you every day and ends at the foundations of ethical hacking.

The course exists in two forms

Same syllabus, same certificate. You choose how you take it.

The MOOC

At your own pace, on your phone, whenever you can. In English, with subtitles and a transcript. No dates and no limited places: you start the day you decide to.

Before you enrol, try one

Three messages picked at random. Two of them are trying to rob you. This is the kind of thing module 04 spends two weeks on.

You got right.

Real attacks are better written than these, and they arrive on a day you are tired. Recognising them is a skill, and it is teachable.

Access link not published yet

The course is built. The door is not open.

The MOOC is finished and running on our platform. What is missing is the public access link, which the consortium opens when enrolment for the first cohort starts. Leave your email and we send it to you directly.
