Thank you to everyone who has completed all their Security and Information Management training modules. If you still have some courses outstanding, please make sure you do them before the year-end...

A reminder to complete your SIM training before the year end.

A final reminder: SIM training is important - it strengthens our understanding and supports good, safe working practices across the University. It is necessary for the University to meet its regulatory and legal obligations - and it's mandatory.

Completion of the training is a straightforward process - many of the Standard modules take less than 10 minutes... The full list of modules is below and you access them directly from these links.

We have completed the development of a Training Essentials app that provides a personalised email summary of an individual's training record - it will be deployed progressively across the University over the next two weeks. It will extract data directly from Moodle to provide an automatic email reminder to staff of any SIM training courses that need to be completed within the next 30 days. Once fully deployed, you will be able to access your own training record by opening the app on this link: Training Essentials (warwick.ac.uk)Link opens in a new window

In the meantime, if you are unsure if you’ve completed a particular module, please follow the link to each course below to check for a completion message on the module page. The completion message is:

“Our records indicate you have successfully completed this course within the last 365 days."

If the module does not show this completion message, please take the course as soon as possible. Please ensure you complete the quiz at the end of each course to confirm your understanding and achieve course completion on Moodle.

Security & Information Management is Everyone's Responsibility

All staff are required to take SIM training that is relevant and appropriate to the kind of work they undertake.

1. Foundation Training: the two ‘Information Security Essentials’ and ‘GDPR Training’ modules must be completed at induction and refreshed annually by all staff who work at the University, without exception.
2. Standard Training: in addition, all staff who predominantly complete their University work on a computer and regularly handle electronic communications, must also complete the 7 Standard Training modules listed above, at induction and refresh them annually thereafter. There are no exceptions to this policy.
