This is a US company that specializes in security training. Each course is 8 hours, and the company believes everything can be taught online.

CA🍁SP vehemently disagrees.

To prevent this in Canada, CA🍁SP is looking for a working group of senior security professionals to develop a training framework for the security industry. Not courses, but what must be taught in courses and how much time should be spent on each component.

This is a multi-year project. Contact us if you’re interested. I’m collecting the names of interested persons now. The work starts this fall.
