The basics
What is a course?
A course is a single e-learning module. Our courses are developed by experts and designed to provide you and your employees with the best possible training in the relevant topic. A course covers various topics within our four subject areas of cyber security, data protection, compliance, and occupational safety. Smaller courses on specific topics, such as whistleblowing, contain one course chapter, while other courses on broader topics, such as basic cyber security protection, contain several chapters that build on each other. Each course includes a final test that briefly and concisely tests the content learned. Participants can generate a certificate of completion for each course they complete.
What is a training?
A training is a sequence of courses. A training can contain up to 20 courses. Trainings are a "Set-and-Forget" approach to awareness trainings. You can think of a training as a timetable that you set up once for a specific period of time and then sit back and relax—IS-FOX automatically takes care of everything else for you.
- Training: Ordered list of courses from a specific topic area that are distributed into phases (From 1 phase to up to 20).
- Phases: Phases define the frequency in which the training's courses are assigned to the participants, e.g. yearly phases.
- Course: Courses are the actual training content that the users take. Usually distributed into chapters, practice exercises, quizzes and a final test.
- Phase Completion (Graduation): Milestone when a participant completes the course of a phase.
- When a participant completes the current phase course, they move forward to the next phase as soon as it starts.
- If the participant does not complete the current phase course, they cannot move forward to the next phase and have to take the course again.
- Repetition: A repetition loop in a training means that after completing the last phase, the participant starts again from the beginning. The next phase after the last phase is therefore the first phase again (represented by an arrow).
Tip: You can also simply setup a training with just one phase and one course. When looped, this single course will then be repeated according to the phase you defined. If not looped, the training will be delivered to your participants only once.
