Free Cyber Security, Phishing, Passwords & Social Engineering Training

Cyber attacks are one of the biggest risks facing small and medium-sized businesses in the UK.

Many people don’t realise how exposed they are until something goes wrong. Because most breaches happen through human error, learning the basics of cyber security is one of the best ways to protect both yourself and your organisation.

This free cyber security training gives you the essential skills to stay safe online. Across three short videos, you’ll learn about password security, social engineering, and phishing awareness. Each video is designed to be simple, practical and easy to follow, even if you’re not technical.

By the end, you’ll know how to spot common threats, use stronger passwords and think carefully before clicking or sharing information. You’ll be better prepared to protect yourself and your business from real-world cyber attacks.

If you’d like more support afterwards, you can also request a free cyber security review from our team. We’ll take a look at your systems and provide expert guidance on how to make things even more secure.

1. Passwords (Part 1)

In the first video, you’ll learn how to create and manage secure passwords. Weak or reused passwords are one of the easiest ways for cyber criminals to gain access to systems, so getting this right is essential.

You’ll discover:

• How to create strong and unique passwords for every account

• Why using a password manager keeps your details safe and organised

• How multi-factor authentication (MFA) adds a crucial extra layer of protection

• Common password habits that put your information at risk

Good password hygiene doesn’t take long to master but it makes a huge difference. After this session, you’ll feel more confident managing your passwords securely.

2. Social Engineering (Part 2)

The second part of your training covers social engineering, which focuses on how attackers manipulate people rather than technology. These scams work by gaining trust, creating panic or pretending to be someone they’re not.

You’ll learn:

• How scammers use urgency or authority to make you act quickly

• Common examples of social engineering such as fake calls, messages and impersonation

• The warning signs that show something might not be genuine

• How to double-check information before responding to requests

This session helps you spot when someone might be trying to manipulate you. Once you know what to look for, it becomes much easier to stay one step ahead.

3. Phishing (Part 3)

In the final video, you’ll look at phishing attacks, which are some of the most common threats faced by businesses today. These messages are designed to trick you into sharing personal details, clicking unsafe links or downloading harmful attachments.

You’ll find out:

• How to recognise fake emails, texts and websites

• What signs to look for in the sender address or message content

• How phishing leads to data breaches, ransomware or financial loss

• What steps to take straight away if you think you’ve clicked on something suspicious

After this session, you’ll know how to spot phishing attempts and respond correctly to protect yourself and your company.

Important Reminders

• Keep learning about cyber security, as threats change all the time

• Report anything suspicious immediately, even if you’re not sure it’s a real attack

• Use a password manager and enable MFA on all your accounts

• Review your passwords and settings regularly

Cyber security is everyone’s responsibility. The more aware you are, the safer your organisation becomes.
