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

- 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.

- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- You can track your course progress with Moodle’s Progress 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 Progress Tracking tool.
