In today’s digital world, schools face more online risks than ever before — from phishing emails to data breaches, unsafe password habits, and accidental information leaks. With technology woven into daily teaching, learning, and communication, keeping staff cyber‑aware has become essential for protecting pupils, school systems, and sensitive data.
That’s why Primary Technologies (S.E.) Ltd is proud to offer completely free cyber awareness training designed specifically for schools.
Our aim is simple:
Make high‑quality cyber security training accessible, easy to use, and effective for every member of your school team.
Why Cyber Awareness Matters in Schools
Schools handle some of the most sensitive data of all — from pupil records to staff information and safeguarding documentation. But unlike the corporate world, schools often lack the time, capacity, or budget to train staff regularly.
Our free training helps to:
- Build staff confidence in spotting phishing emails
- Improve password and account security habits
- Reduce the likelihood of data breaches
- Support compliance with DfE and Cyber Essentials expectations
- Strengthen whole‑school safeguarding measures
By increasing staff awareness, schools can significantly reduce cyber risk across their entire digital environment.
What’s Included in the Free Training?
We currently offer two training courses, both freely accessible to all school staff:
- Video‑Based Cyber Awareness Course
A clear, easy‑to-understand video that introduces the fundamentals of cyber security in education — perfect for all staff, regardless of technical ability. - Interactive Cyber Awareness Course
An engaging, click‑through module with real‑world scenarios tailored to school settings. Great for teams who learn best through hands‑on activity.
Thank you to the NCSC for providing this free content to schools.
Certificates for Every Participant
Every staff member receives a certificate upon completion, making it ideal for meeting audit, safeguarding, or training‑record requirements. Schools can easily check who has completed each module, helping leaders maintain compliance, demonstrate training engagement, and plan follow‑up support.
Why Schools Love This Training
- It’s fast – staff can complete the modules during an INSET slot, weekly briefing, or as part of CPD.
- It’s simple – no complicated logins or technical setup.
- It’s tailored – built specifically for education environments, not generic business scenarios.
- It’s free – no hidden costs or subscriptions, ever.
And best of all, it’s already being adopted by schools across the region who value high‑quality cyber awareness delivered in a friendly, accessible format.
