Everything you need, nothing you don't
The essentials of personal cybersecurity, broken into small lessons you can act on the same day.
Start with the Fast Track
The 13 lessons that do the most good, in about 3 hours. Lock down your accounts, spot the scams that cost people the most, and protect your phone and files, one short stage at a time.
Completely optional. It's a suggested route through the course, not a smaller one: you still get all 91 lessons, and you can explore them in any order, before, after, or instead of it.

I'm not very technical. Will I be able to follow this course?
Yes. The course is built for everyday people, not IT experts. Every lesson is short, in plain English, and walks you through the exact steps on your own phone and computer. If you can send an email and install an app, you can do everything here.
I'm already careful online, do I really need to do this course?
Being careful helps, but many people who get tricked or whose accounts get compromised are usually cautious too. Today's scams are designed to look completely normal. The protections that actually stop attacks aren't about good instincts, they're about setting things up once so a single slip can't cost you your accounts, files, or money. That setup is exactly what this course gives you.
I'm busy. Do I have to do the whole course?
No. You can take the lessons in any order and at any pace. If you want the most protection in the least time, start with the Fast Track: 13 hand-picked lessons that take about 3 hours and cover the setup that stops most attacks. It's completely optional, and every other lesson in the course stays available whenever you want to go deeper.
Is this course worth the price?
Yes, think of it as the cheapest insurance you'll ever buy. A single scam or hack can cost you hundreds or thousands of dollars, weeks of stress, and files you'll never get back. For a small one-time payment, this course helps you avoid all of that — far less than a single mistake would cost you later on.
How do payment and access work?
A single one-time payment, handled by Stripe. There is no subscription and nothing to cancel. You get every lesson, all 220 downloadable course PDFs, and free updates as the course is revised, on any device, for as long as the course is offered.
