Welcome to AltSchool Africa. This is your first semester learning content.
Objective:
At the end of the first semester, you are expected to have a proper grasp of the basic concepts that will shape up a foundation for your accelerated learning through the next 2 semesters. Basic knowledge necessary to understand the broader cybersecurity landscape and to prepare you for more advanced topics. The topics are organised into monthly modules with weekly components.
Prerequisite:
The student taking this course is expected to be familiar with using the computer, the internet and researching resources online. Knowledge of programming and being comfortable with a language is valuable and being comfortable working in the terminal is an advantage. However, these are not compulsory requirements to take the course.
Instruction
Courses would be released on a weekly basis. Every week, the course for that week would be made available. You would have full access to previous courses but would only be able to view the next week’s course when it’s actually next week.
Learning Overview
Learning is a continuous process. Our curriculum is designed to give learners an all-around experience that’s rich in quality, design, organization, and outcomes. To maximize outcomes, we invite you to maintain a growth paradigm, keep your hunger for learning insatiable, and relentlessly commit to taking your learning (and career) to the next level.
You can check out the abridged scheme of work here to have a snapshot of what topical areas are covered this semester.
Relaxation
It’s 100% okay to relax and do nothing once in a while, set realistic goals in your learning progress and take time out of your free period to engage in other activities. Make friends with your peers and communicate with respect and empathy.
