Click Armor’s foundational training courses provide in-depth coverage of security awareness topics for risk and compliance. The interactive approach uses “learning challenges” such as graphic novel scenarios, quizzes and word puzzles to introduce terminology and reinforce knowledge. This approach builds confidence simply and enjoyably. 

After learning challenges are completed, students’ knowledge is typically assessed in interactive quiz form and decision-making skills are exercised in immersive simulations. The immediate feedback from these exercises helps students retain knowledge.
