Questions about Cyber Resilience training

How long is the Cyber Resilience course?

It's made up of 6 microlessons, each under 5 minutes. Learners can finish it in one sitting or spread it over a few days, and 5Mins sends reminders until it is done.

Is there a certificate?

Yes. Learners get a certificate of completion once they finish every microlesson and complete the situational tests. The record is stored in 5Mins for audits.

Is this course about DORA?

It covers DORA alongside other regulators' frameworks, so firms in different countries get a shared foundation. 5Mins also has a Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) (EU) course.

Who is this course for?

People in financial services who build, run or oversee ICT systems and suppliers, plus the risk, compliance and senior management teams accountable for resilience.

How is cyber resilience different from cybersecurity?

Cybersecurity is about preventing attacks. Cyber resilience also covers how a firm keeps critical services running, recovers and learns when something does go wrong.

How often should staff take this training?

Your regulator and your own risk assessment set the schedule. In 5Mins you can set the course to repeat, for example every 12 months, so refreshers happen automatically.

Can I try the course first?

Yes. Request a free sample lesson and book a short demo with our team. After your demo, we'll share sample lessons with you so you can see the format for yourself.
