It is recommended that all Metropolia students complete the basic level cybersecurity information security course designed for students. After completing the cybersecurity course, you will know how to use the university’s information services securelysafely.

Read the following eight points before taking the course to ensure you know how to proceed correctly:

1. You can complete the course in Moodle. You can do the course according to your own schedule until the deadline. Here is the link to the Student's basic level information security training course.
2. Log in to Moodle with your Metropolia user ID. Completing the course without logging in is prevented from guest users.
3. You do not need a course key to join the course.
4. Complete the four modules of the course along with their tests. The course materials open in a new tab as PowerPoint presentations, which are visible to those with a Metropolia user ID. Log in to your Metropolia Microsoft account if necessary to view the presentation materials.
5. You will receive a notification of the approved completion of the course by email. Activate the notification settings before starting the course. Here are instructions for activating Moodle’s notification settings.
6. If you did not receive a notification of your passing, you can see your course completion in the Moodle Grades tab. When there are four green checkmarks visible on the tab, you have passed the four tests of the course. The tab also indicates if you have failed any test with a red mark. When you have passed all the tests, the marks will appear green. Instructions for opening Moodle’s grading view.
7. You can track your course progress with Moodle’s Progress Tracking Complition tracking feature. Four green bars indicate that you have successfully completed the course. If all the bars are not visible, your course completion is then incomplete. Instructions for enabling Moodle’s Completion Progress Tracking tracking tool.

If your user account is locked because you have not completed the course, you can contact Metropolia Helpdesk to have it unlocked. After unlocking, you will have two weeks to complete the course before your account is locked againIn case of unclear situations, please contact user support (also known as HelpDesk). We kindly ask that you do not contact the teachers mentioned in the course personally if you have problems completing the course or questions. User support will direct your question or problem to the course teacher if necessary, if user support cannot help you. Metropolia has over 16,000 students, so direct contact from students prevents employees from doing other work. This helps Metropolia manage communication more efficiently and ensures that all questions and problems are handled appropriately. In other unclear situations, try the methods listed below to resolve the issue before contacting user support.
