For individuals & the curious

Would I fall for it myself?

No team, no IT department – just the honest question of whether you can spot a good fake. You learn at your own pace and then test yourself. No subscription, just for you.

This is what it looks like in practice.

Cockpit, team report, certificate and proof of training for a fictitious company with twelve people. All names and results are made up; the layout is exactly what you will see yourself later.

Cockpit The business Cockpit

Groups, registered people and the cost if everyone completes. From here you start training, an initial test or a repeat run.

Team report Team report in the Cockpit

The team’s click and data-entry rates, a comparison with all test runs, participation in training. Anonymised.

Team report Evidence PDF, page 1

Results at a glance and protection level with a recommendation. The PDF carries an authenticity QR code and is suitable for audits, insurers and NIS2 documentation.

Certificate Certificate of participation

Name, course, dates of training and practical test, reference to standards, signature and a verifiable certificate number with QR code.

Compliance evidence NIS2 compliance evidence

All training carried out, with time stamps and participation rates, mapped to the requirements. Also for ISO 27001, GDPR, the AI Act and cyber insurance.

Individual report Personal report

Each person sees only their own result: reaction to each test email, how the scam could have been spotted, and what their device gave away.

How I work with you

This is how my training works.

The same order applies on your own: understand first, then test. You choose whether to learn with me, with my materials or entirely online – and the self-test shows you in black and white how well you spot fakes.

Three ways – you choose what suits you.

1 In person with me

I support you personally – one-to-one, online or on site if you wish, with examples from your everyday life.

2 Self-study

You work through my materials on your own – at your pace, whenever it suits you.

3 Online, just as you like

You learn online the way you prefer – by text or video, at your own pace, choosing the content.

My recommendation

Train first, then test – deliberately in that order.

  1. Learn first

    First you acquire the basics – with me or through self-study.

  2. Phishing test as a self-check

    Only then comes the simulated attack – not as an exam, but as an honest self-check: you see whether what you learned holds up in everyday life.

  3. A reliable instinct, refreshed when needed

    Learning plus self-test turns into a reliable instinct that you simply refresh when the time comes.

📊

Your status report is based on your result after learning – it shows the level you have reached, not the unprotected starting point.

➕

Will a team grow later? Then you add new people with one click – they immediately receive the same online materials and a first self-test and continue with the same prior knowledge.

The reverse order – and why I advise against it.

It sounds obvious to be “tested” first and only then learn. Technically that works – I can set it up for you.

Being thrown in at the deep end with a test first is usually just discouraging – falling for something without any prior knowledge tells you little. If you learn first, you approach the test calmly and genuinely take something away from it. A test without prior training only measures the starting point at zero. My approach turns this around: equip first, then check.

No subscription, as and when you need it, and always with my personal support.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Does the self-test cost anything?
No. The self-tests (phishing, sender spoofing, deliverability) are free and can be used without registering.
What happens to my data during the test?
The test serves only your own check. Nothing is passed on to third parties and nobody is exposed – you see your result yourself.
Is this a subscription?
No. There is no subscription and no contract term. You book training and tests as you need them – once or on a recurring basis, whatever suits you.
What does it cost?
For businesses, €49 net per person, one-off: training, first phishing test run, team report, Cockpit and six months of monthly refreshers. Further test runs cost €22 per person. For individuals, the training with certificate costs €29 incl. VAT, but without team report, Cockpit and refreshers, hence the lower price. An initial conversation and the self-tests are free.

Does the effect of a one-off training actually last?
Not on its own, which is why I don’t stop at the certificate. Everyone who completes the course receives a short interactive lesson by email every calendar month for six months: under five minutes, no login, a different current topic each time. Keeping it short is deliberate; the effect comes from spreading it over time. In the Cockpit you see your teams’ completion rate and the average score. This refresher is included in the business price at no extra cost.
Do I need an IT department for this?
No. Setup takes about an hour: choose a course, add your team, get started. The proof of training is created automatically. If you like, I’ll set it up together with you.
How does training with you work?
However you prefer: I train your team in person (on site or online), you run the training yourself with my ready-made materials, or each person learns online at their own pace. My recommendation: train first, then run the phishing test as a self-check – that builds a security culture instead of putting people on the spot.
Will anyone on our team be singled out or monitored?
No. There is no public shaming and no personal “who clicked” list for senior management. The team is evaluated as a whole. A wrong click is a learning moment, not an entry in someone’s personnel file.
Does this cover GDPR, NIS2, ISO 27001 or insurance requirements?
It covers the awareness and training part of these obligations – including proof of training with a timestamp. I state openly what belongs to your technology/IT. You’ll find the full comparison under “Obligations & standards”.
What happens when staff change?
You add new team members later with a click: they immediately receive the online training materials and a first self-test, and join the next joint training with the same level of knowledge.
Do I get proof of training or a certificate?
Yes. Proof of participation and completion with date and timestamp is created automatically for each person – as audit-proof evidence for audits, insurers or your own documentation.
Does this also cover AI fraud and deepfakes?
Yes. Current tactics such as AI-assisted phishing, fake voices and deepfakes are part of the courses and simulations – in line with the AI literacy requirement of the EU AI Act.
Are schools and non-profit associations really free of charge?
Yes. For schools and non-profit associations the offer is free of charge – this matters to me personally.
How quickly can I start?
Right away and without a call, if you like: you register your business or institution yourself at /registrieren, add your team, choose the course and phishing templates and start the test run – all on your own in the Cockpit, set up in about an hour. To get a feel for it, there are the free self-tests. And if you’d rather have support, just send me a short message; I’ll get back to you personally.
