Got an email from my Boss asking if I'd like to do this course:
http://www.sec-1.com/hacking_revealed.html


It's a CD based course so I'd be doing it in the office or at home probably.
He also hinted that I'd get to do a proper (residential) course on the same subject if I wanted.

I'm not big on self training, I tend to get bored and not pay too much attention.
On the other hand I'm not a techy at work my role is more along the lines of auditing, assessing, incident reponse, control setting, risk assessment.... blah blah.
I tend to need to know a little about everything without being too specialised.
I could do a 5 day hacking course but not having a programming background I'd probably find it quite tough and it would be overkill for what I'm doing. Though I'd be happy to learn it for the sake of learning, you can't know too much can you?

Any ideas suggestions?
I'm not sure myself where I'd like to go with this.

If you know any UK courses you've done that were useful I'd like to know but any comments on the type of courses would be useful.

They're quite positive towards training here so I'd like to take advantage of it.

Sorry this is a bit of a ramble, I've started on the hayfever meds and even the non-drowsey stuff knocks me out a bit.
