WHO THIS IS FOR
Practical decisions in your regulatory context.
Management-body members and senior managers of essential and important entities under applicable national NIS2 legislation.
EU NIS2 Directive, Article 20(2)
Article 20(2) requires Member States to ensure management-body members receive training to identify risks and assess cybersecurity risk management and its impact on services. Senior managers support those decisions. Scope, enforcement and implementation must be checked against national law; NIS2 does not apply to every EU company.
LEARNING THAT LEAVES A RECORD
Practise, assess and document completion.
Apply the decisions
Work through role-relevant situations, explain your reasoning and connect the learning to your company’s procedures. Progress is saved as you complete each module.
Keep named evidence
After the module checks, written exercises and a passing assessment, receive a named certificate showing the course version and result. Administrators can export company completion reports and individual certificates.
Course text and assessment follow your selected language. Written responses are retained, not independently graded. Duration and the pass mark are Academy choices, not statutory thresholds. Completion is not accreditation or proof of organisational regulatory compliance.
