Arascina bridges the gap between knowledge and application through skills-based courses. We provide instructor-led and hybrid online courses to upskill non-techies in cyber security without the need for an IT degree or coding.

Our office is located in Sydney, Australia. All courses are delivered via an online portal as live instructor-led (virtual face-to-face) or through a hybrid model of both live instructor-led and self-learning. As such, you can complete all courses from the comfort of your own home or office.

All courses are between 4 and 6 weeks part-time. Our research shows that anything less is insufficient time to grasp the skills needed for work and anything greater results in a loss of focus for busy working professionals. That’s why we don’t offer lengthy degrees or certifications.

Arascina only offers short and sharp courses or upskilling programs. Our focus is to get you up and running with the skills you need to implement at work and as such, are more practical and immersive in nature.

Arascina online short courses provide you with a digital badge or a certificate of completion by Arascina itself. These are awarded upon successful completion of a course and the associated practical component for their sponsoring company or another firm of their choice. The way these courses are designed are to give learners the practical skills that they need to fulfill their job duties on a day-to-day basis. The courses do not provide any credits towards a University degree or diploma.

Arascina places a strong emphasis on practical skills in its online short courses. The badge or certificate is only awarded on the successful and satisfactory delivery of the practical component. These components have been carefully curated for non-tech professionals such that you can demonstrate experience in a given domain that would normally be expected of you in a given role. Learners often use their sponsoring or current company’s project such that the learning complements their work deliverable at the same time, while others choose to use a model company to simulate different activities.

Short and sharp: Usually 4-6 weeks part-time, as opposed to lengthier programs.

Work outcomes: Our programs focus on practical techniques that you can apply at work as opposed to just learning objectives.

Guided learning: We’re with you every step of the way.

Cost-effective: Our focus is on work outcomes to give you time back in the day.

Non-technical areas: Our focus is on learning and applying that knowledge for non-techies.

Arascina has an online platform, which is where you will log in to find course material and lessons. For live instructor-led elements, links will be placed on the lesson module for accessing the classroom and any other digital accessories. All registered learners will receive their login details in the week leading up to the course start date. If you have any problems with accessing your online portal, please reach out to the course team.

We are not able to offer any funding directly. Our short courses focus on giving non-techies the cyber security skills they need to thrive in their role and as such, there is no application process for such funding.

As part of their company’s commitment to learning and development for their staff, our learners often seek funding from their employer.

Arascina taps into a wide global audience in different industries, including those outside of cyber security, in order to curate practical programs for non-techies.

Yes. Having a training program within your organisation is a great way to save time and keep team morale high. We can team up with your HR and L&D departments to create training programs relevant for the projects you are working on.

Whether you have a degree or not, lifelong learning is essential to keep up with the speed of technological change in today’s world. Knowing what to learn and deciphering the skills you need to apply can be tricky. However, the first step is to sketch out your ideal role and reverse-engineer the building blocks or skills for that role. We can help you with this.

Our courses are delivered online to give learners the maximum flexibility. Our courses include a strong focus on practical application, which means that they often use a live work project or deliverable. This means that they are learning and applying these new skills at the same time and equates to on-the-job training. Your employees will see value in practical learning, while you get the work outcome or project completed.

Since projects are often complex and intertwined with other parts of the business, Arascina does not guarantee delivery. Rather, we enable your employees to be in a strong position to have the skills to undertake the work. Other factors such as determination and effort also need to be taken into account.
