Cyber security awareness training for employees that people practise, not just watch

Attacks now arrive as a polished email, a text, a Teams-style call, a QR code or a deepfaked boss on video. This self-paced course gives every employee the habits that hold up: check the message, verify the request on a second channel, lock down sign-ins and report in minutes. Learners rehearse in the Threat Inspector and three branching Scenario Sims, with examples switched to their own role. About 5 hours, with a certificate and a dated record per learner.

  • Six modules of 35 to 40 minutes: threats, phishing on every channel, deepfakes and payment fraud, passwords and MFA, data handling, reporting
  • The Threat Inspector and three Scenario Sims: The CFO Call, Push at Midnight and I Think I Clicked It
  • Role Lens for seven functions, from HR and Finance to Sales, Operations, Marketing and Customer Service
  • A before-and-after check, a certificate (Open Badge 2.0) and a dated completion record that supports annual training evidence

What is the Bodhih Cyber Safe at Work course?

Bodhih Cyber Safe at Work is a self-paced cybersecurity awareness course for every employee, taking about 5 hours. In six short modules, learners practise spotting phishing on email, text, chat, calls and QR codes; verifying deepfake and payment-change requests; protecting accounts with passphrases, password managers, passkeys and MFA; handling data safely, including in AI tools; and reporting fast. A Role Lens adapts examples to seven functions. A before-and-after check, a certificate and a dated record per learner support annual training evidence.

Why the annual security video no longer protects anyone

“Our annual training is a video people click through, and we cannot show what anyone learnt.”

A peer-reviewed study of more than 19,500 health-system staff (Ho and colleagues, IEEE S&P 2025) found annual training had no significant link with who clicked. What helps is practice with feedback, rehearsed verification, strong sign-in habits and fast reporting, so that is what this course trains, and it measures each learner before and after.

“Phishing now arrives as a Teams call, a text or a QR code, and our training only covers email.”

Microsoft reports that Teams-style vishing attempts and calendar-invite lures rose sharply in 2026, and QR codes now hide in PDFs and posters. Spelling mistakes are no longer a reliable sign. The request and the route are, on whichever channel the message arrives.

“Finance is one convincing call away from paying a fake supplier, and people are afraid to admit they clicked.”

A deepfaked CFO on a video call, a supplier asking to change bank details, a help-desk caller asking for a code. The defence is a process people have rehearsed, and a reporting culture where someone who clicked calls the security desk in minutes, not days.

Who it is for

Who this cyber security awareness training is for

Every employee, including new joiners and non-desk staff

No technical knowledge needed. Short modules work on a phone, and the Role Lens puts examples from your own job in every exercise, from fake CVs in HR to fake carrier notices in operations.

HR, L&D, IT and security leads running annual training

You need a course people finish and a record you can show. Each learner gets a dated completion record with modules, before-and-after scores and role lens, renewed yearly.

Finance, accounts and anyone who approves payments

Module 3 is built for you: deepfake calls, fake bosses, invoice and bank-change fraud, rehearsed in The CFO Call simulation until the call-back on a known number is automatic.

Small and mid-sized companies without a security awareness platform

A fixed, published seat price from 25 seats with no multi-year term, global content with India-first reporting routes (CERT-In, 1930, cybercrime.gov.in) alongside UK and US routes.

This course is not for security professionals seeking a technical qualification, and it does not send simulated phishing emails into staff inboxes: companies that want inbox simulations can run them with their email security tool alongside it.

Why now: the evidence

Why now: attacks target people, on every channel

Four dated figures, each linked to its source.

Desire

What every learner can do at the end

Imagine a finance colleague hearing what sounds like the CFO ask for an urgent, confidential transfer, and calmly saying “I’ll call you back on your directory number.” That is the kind of habit this course builds, through practice on realistic messages and calls rather than a slideshow, and it is measured from the first check to the last.

Check any message for the six tells

Spoofed senders, lookalike links, pressure, unusual requests, risky files and data requests, on email, text, chat, calls, QR codes and calendar invites. And clear the messages that check out.

Verify money, data and access requests

Use a second, known channel (the supplier file, the company directory) for any payment, bank change or access request, even when the voice or face seems real.

Lock down sign-ins

Long, unique passphrases in a password manager, passkeys or number-matched MFA switched on, and the strongest option chosen on the MFA ladder.

Refuse MFA fatigue and help-desk tricks

Deny prompts you did not start, never share a code, and spot the help-desk caller or SIM-swap cue before it costs you the account.

Share data at the right level

Classify information with the data traffic light, use only approved tools (including approved AI tools), and work safely at home, on public Wi-Fi and while travelling.

Report in the first 15 minutes

Stop, Tell, Keep, Change: report suspicious messages and your own mistakes at once, keep the evidence and take the first containment steps.

Show a measured before and after

A baseline check, a final check and a dated record for each learner, so the company can show what changed.

More than the course

Beyond the modules

What comes with the course, and what makes the practice different.

Threat Inspector

A morning of messages for your role across email, text, chat, a QR poster, a calendar invite and a collaboration-tool message. Flag each tell, name it, and clear the lines that check out.

Three Scenario Sims

The CFO Call (a timed, branching deepfake payment request), Push at Midnight (MFA fatigue, help-desk vishing and a SIM-swap cue) and I Think I Clicked It (the first 15 minutes on an in-sim clock). Each ends in a debrief showing the stronger move.

Three Pro Kits included

Scam-Proof (Pause-Check-Verify card, red-flag checklist, first hour after fraud, fraud reporting directory), Information Security for Small Business (incident first-hour card, policy set, awareness training outline) and The AI-Fluent Professional (what never to paste, team usage guidelines).

For companies

Seats from 25, a dated completion record per learner (date, modules, before-and-after scores, role lens) and company reporting, renewed yearly with each content update logged.

Before you enrol

Cyber Safe at Work: questions, answered

Straight answers on time, price, tools and the credential. If yours is not here, ask us and you will have a reply the same working day.

Ask a question

Is security awareness training mandatory for employees?

It depends on your sector, your contracts and the standards you follow. ISO/IEC 27001:2022 (Annex A 6.3), PCI DSS v4.0.1 (Requirement 12.6) and NIST CSF 2.0 (PR.AT) all expect awareness training, and many clients and insurers ask for it. Bodhih Cyber Safe at Work supports that evidence with a dated record per learner; it does not certify compliance with any standard.

Who is the Cyber Safe at Work course for, and do I need technical knowledge?

It is for every employee in any sector, including new joiners, contractors and non-desk staff. No technical knowledge is needed. Learners pick their role (General, HR and People, Sales, Finance, Operations, Marketing or Customer Service) and the examples and labs switch to their work. It is global, with India-first reporting routes alongside UK and US ones.

How long does the cyber security awareness course take?

About 5 hours in total: six modules of 35 to 40 minutes, a 10-minute baseline check and a short final check. It is self-paced and works on a phone or laptop, and learners can stop and resume at any point.

Do learners get a certificate?

Yes. Learners who pass the final check (70%, up to 3 attempts) receive the Bodhih Cyber Safe at Work completion certificate, issued as an Open Badge 2.0 with a verify page and a PDF, plus a dated completion record. It is a training credential from Bodhih Training Solutions, not a university or government qualification.

How do company seats work, and is there a minimum?

Company seats cost $29 per seat a year, with a minimum of 25 seats; an individual place is $35. Companies get company reporting and a completion record for each learner (date, modules completed, baseline and final scores, role lens). The modules are SCORM 1.2 packages run in the Bodhih LMS; ask us if you want to run them in your own LMS. Write to solutions@bodhih.com or call +91 99000 11601.

What tools or software do learners need?

Only a web browser on a phone, tablet or computer. The Threat Inspector and the Scenario Sims run inside the course, so no email account, security tool or password manager purchase is needed to complete it. Module 4 explains how to set up a password manager and passkeys with the tools your company approves.

Does the course send fake phishing emails to our staff?

No. Learners train on realistic messages and calls inside the course. If you want simulated phishing in real inboxes as well, run it with your email security tool alongside this course.

Does it cover deepfakes and AI-written scams?

Yes. Module 3 covers deepfake video calls, voice clones, fake bosses and payment-change fraud, with The CFO Call, a timed, branching simulation. AI-written phishing, ClickFix fake “verify you are human” pages, QR and calendar-invite lures, and safe use of approved AI tools appear across the other modules.

How does it compare with a security awareness platform or a free course?

Platforms such as KnowBe4 offer large libraries and simulated phishing, usually on a per-user subscription, often quote-based or multi-year. Free courses such as the UK NCSC’s Top Tips for Staff give a short baseline without a record. This course sits between them: about 5 hours of hands-on practice, role-based examples, a before-and-after check and a record per learner at a published seat price, without inbox simulations.

Does it prepare me for a cybersecurity certification such as CompTIA Security+ or ISC2 CC?

No. It is an awareness course for every employee, not technical security training, and it is not linked to any outside certification body. People aiming at a security career should take a course written for that exam.

What should I do if I clicked a phishing link?

Stop, tell your IT or security team at once, keep the message, and change your password from a different device if you typed it in. Follow your own IT team’s instructions. If money was sent, call your bank now; in India also call 1930 or report at cybercrime.gov.in. Module 6 practises exactly this in the I Think I Clicked It simulation.
