Cyber security for governors/trustees
So that we can log your progress and make you lovely certificates, we need to log you in via before you move on...
What you'll learn
Please note: Your school or trust's insurers may require you to complete specific cyber security training. For example, if your school is a member of the risk protection arrangement (RPA), to be fully covered by the RPA, every person with a login to your school's IT system must complete the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC)'s cyber security training course for schools, annually. Make sure you complete any required training and check with your chair or school leaders if you're not sure.
We're aware of the current delay in generating training certificates. If yours doesn't show up straight away, you should be able to view it in your training record tomorrow.
This course is for all governors and trustees in all school types.
Learn in bitesize chunks whenever best suits you, or set aside about 45 minutes to complete the course in 1 sitting.
