According to the ECDL syllabus, the cyber security training helps candidates learn how to maintain a secure network connection, use the Internet safely, and manage data and information appropriately. These skills are relevant to the safe use of ICT in everyday work activities and life. Exercises and real world examples are included in the lectures. A brief test that reiterates and determines the information that was passed serves as a recapitulation at the conclusion. Passing the module after taking the standardized ECDL examinations comes next. Those who pass the exam are awarded an ECDL certificate, which is valid worldwide and for a lifetime. The fifteen hours of instruction are broken up into five segments of three hours each. The five periods of 3 hours each will be distributed over 5 working days during 3 working weeks, in agreement with the participants and lecturers. During each of the three working weeks, there will be 2 periods (including taking the exam). For the entire duration of the training, the trainees will have practical examples.
