The 2 courses provided are:
"The search for
static security is
misguided. The fact
is security can only
be achieved through
constant change,
adapting old ideas
that have outlived their
usefulness to current

“...one of the best
things about the course
is that you can share
your experiences with
people from other
countries, who are facing
similar problems." - Christian, Cameroon
