Security Policy Foundations
In this foundational level course "Pay what you can" course, I will show you how to cast your first spells as a budding Security PolicyWizard. You'll learn the basics:
What is security risk? What is a security policy?
What is a security framework? What is a security risk?
Security policy considerations:
- Layout - Readership - Accountability - Policy length - Legal terms - Title & references - Templates - Tracking methods - Development tools Plus a bunch more

It is aimed at a very basic level and will teach you everything you need to start your journey into the world of Information Security Governance, Risk Management, and Compliance.
CompTIA Entry Level
The CompTIA A+, Network+ & Security+ are a good representation of the basic required knowledge for working within the Cyber Security Industry. If you don't know how things work or what things do, then you will find it difficult to progress into the field. I do recommend starting at the A+ and working your way through the 3 courses and put aside 3 months per course if you have little previous knowledge of IT. I don't necessarily believe that it's worth paying for the A+ or Network+ Certifications. Once you have this knowledge, you can take the Security+ outright. Once you have passed the Security+ exam, you may find it possible to gain a Junior Cyber Security Role. The employer will however be looking for extra skills within your chosen Cyber Career Path, even if they do not require any further Certifications.
