Cyber security training, Aldershot, Hampshire
Cyber security training for teams working in and around Aldershot
Most breaches begin with one click on a convincing email. Our cyber security training teaches your staff to spot scams, look after passwords and report problems quickly, in short sessions that fit around a working day.
Trusted pen testing, industry certified.
Why people matter
What is awareness training?
Cyber security awareness training gives everyday staff the habits that stop attacks at the inbox and the login screen. Rather than technical theory, it covers what people really face: fake invoices, spoofed messages from the boss, dodgy links, shared passwords and texts asking for codes.
It works best alongside simulated phishing. We send realistic but harmless test emails to your team, see who clicks or hands over details, and follow up with quick, friendly coaching. Nobody is named and shamed; the point is to build reflexes.
Over time, your staff stop being the easy way in and become an early warning system that spots trouble before it spreads.
Staff training & phishing simulation
How our staff training works
We combine short learning sessions with regular phishing tests, so lessons stick and you can see whether behaviour is improving. Tell us the size of your team and we'll put together a programme and price for you.
Learn the essentials
Staff awareness sessions
Plain-English training that shows staff the tricks criminals use and what to do instead.
- Delivered online or in person at your premises
- Real examples of scam emails, calls and messages
- Suitable for every role, from reception to directors
- New starters can be added as they join
Practise and measure
Simulated phishing campaigns
Safe test emails that show how your team reacts to a realistic attack, and where extra help is needed.
- Campaigns modelled on scams doing the rounds
- Short follow-up lessons for anyone who clicks a test link
- Results tracked over time so progress is visible
- Clear reports you can share with managers and directors
- Difficulty adjusted as your team gets sharper
Topics covered
What your staff will learn
Each topic is built around a mistake we regularly see in real incidents, explained without jargon.
Phishing
Spotting fake emails, links, attachments and invoices.
Passwords
Using long passphrases and a password manager.
MFA
Why multi-factor sign-in matters and how to use it.
Safe working
Public Wi-Fi, USB sticks and working from home.
Reporting
Who to tell, and how fast, when something feels wrong.
The payoff
What changes after training
Firewalls and filters catch a lot, but a well-crafted email will still land in someone's inbox eventually. Trained staff pause, check and report it, which turns a potential breach into a near miss and gives you time to act.
You also get evidence to show others: who completed which session, how phishing results have moved over the months and which teams may need a refresher.
Fewer risky clicks
Staff learn to slow down and check the sender before opening links or attachments.
Training records
Completion logs help when Cyber Essentials assessors or insurers ask about staff awareness.
Faster reporting
People know who to call, so suspicious messages reach us while they can still be stopped.
Budget friendly
Short, focused sessions mean less time away from desks, and the programme is scaled to the number of people you employ.

Frequently asked questions
Cyber security training questions
Who should be trained?
Everyone with a work email address or company login, from new starters to the board. Directors and finance staff are often targeted most by scammers, so it's important they take part as well.
What is a simulated phishing email and is it safe?
A harmless message we send that looks like a real scam. If someone clicks, nothing bad happens; they see a short explanation of the warning signs they missed and how to spot them next time.
Will staff be embarrassed if they click?
We keep it supportive. Results are used to target training, not to single people out, and managers see trends rather than a list of names unless you ask for more detail. Most people improve quickly once they know what to look for, and a positive approach encourages them to report mistakes.
Is the training online or in person?
Either. Online sessions suit hybrid teams and busy diaries, while in-person sessions in and around Aldershot work well for whole-office briefings.
How much staff time does it take?
Not much. Core sessions are kept short and the phishing tests arrive as ordinary emails, so there's very little disruption. We plan dates around your busy periods.
How much does cyber security training cost?
It depends mainly on how many people you want to train and how often you'd like simulations run. We'll give you a clear price once we know your team size.
How often should we train?
A full session for new starters and at least once a year for everyone, with phishing simulations spread through the year to keep the lessons fresh.
Does staff training help us with Cyber Essentials?
Trained staff support several of the controls the scheme looks at, such as secure passwords and avoiding malware. Keeping dated training records also helps you show that people understand the rules you've put in place.
Do you cover passwords and MFA?
Yes. We show staff how to create strong passphrases, why reusing a password is risky, how to use a password manager and what to do if they get an unexpected MFA prompt.
Do insurers accept it?
Many cyber insurers ask whether staff receive security training. Our records show dates, attendees and simulation results, which you can supply when filling in your forms.
Can training be tailored to our business?
Yes. We can use examples that match your sector and the scams your team is likely to see, for example fake supplier invoices for finance staff or bogus delivery notices for warehouse teams.
What should staff do after spotting a scam?
Report it straight away using the route we set up with you, without forwarding it to colleagues or replying. Fast reporting lets us block the sender and warn everyone else.
Can new starters join later?
Yes. New employees can complete the core training when they start and join the simulation programme straight away.
What reports will we receive?
A simple summary showing completion rates, phishing results over time and any areas where extra coaching would help, plus the detail behind it if you need it.
