Hi Aspman,

I would have a go at it, as from your role description it seems a pretty good fit.

A lot depends on how well it is structured and presented. Remember that the human attention span is only about 20 minutes IRL, so you should not try to do to much at one go. Also the course should have practical/demonstration, questionnaire or other breaks to accommodate this fact.

Might I suggest that you get the book "Teaching, Training and Learning" from your library and have a browse through it. It could teach you a lot about the way you personally learn.

The authors are Ian Reece and Stephen Walker, Publisher: Business Education Publishers Limited,

ISBN 1 901666 30 4

I would not worry to much about programming, as most hackers are not programmers, they just use tools like everyone else. I would say that systems analysis is a more pertinent generic skillset.

After all, how many hacks happen because of PURE CODING ERRORS? the answer is "not a lot". The vulnerabilities come from architecture and design, and by not setting the system and security policy correctly.

As in, I may not know how to burgle a house, but I do know how to lock the doors and windows (and set the claymore mines )

I hope that helps

Cheers
