session is to provide a skill to employees attending those classes. In both cases, the
               instructor could try to test the knowledge of the attendees before and after the session
               attempting  to  understand  the  impact  of  his  effort.  It’s  quite  well-known  that  the  staffs
               would normally take an exam in order to obtain some certificate for a certain skill and
               such a degree would qualify them for being capable to obtain some tasks within their
               company.  In  order  to  pass  that  exam  –  the  employees  would  study  hard  and  finally
               make things happen.

               The  point  is  that  every  course  should  cope  with  some  criteria  and  the  role  of  the
               instructor  would  be  to  support  the  people  to  reach  them.  Teaching  someone  cyber
               defense is a big task and so commonly the trainers would believe that their attendees
               would deal with some sort of pre-knowledge. In order to confirm such an assumption –
               you should offer to your students an opportunity to say something about their current
               situation in such a field. For that purpose, we would advise you to prepare some good
               pre-course assessments  that  would  give  you  an  opportunity  to  understand  what  your
               participants already know and what’s so significant to get in order to approach them in
               the most effective way.

                                                                         Once  you  conduct  your  training
                                                                         session,  it  would  be  quite
                                                                         advisable  to  try  to  estimate  your
                                                                         effort    simply     letting   your
                                                                         attendees ask  you  the  questions
                                                                         as well as giving them a chance
                                                                         to complete some sort of, say, 5-
                                                                         minute  assessment.  This  would
                                                                         support  you  in  getting  the  first
                                                                         hand  feedback  that  would  help
                                                                         you creating the better and better
                                                                         courses.  As  we  said  before,  the
                                                                         trainers  are  extremely  skillful
               folks coping with a plenty of research skills and well as with the good teaching qualities.

               So, in order to produce the best possible courses – we would recommend following the
               ongoing tendencies as well as listening to the needs of your attendees. On the other
               hand, it’s so important to say that some brilliant training sessions would get offered as
               the online resources and their attendees could simply cope with them at home. These
               sorts  of  efforts  could  provide  us  the  skills  as  well  and  their  creators  would  also
               appreciate the good feedback from their attendees. The reason for that is more or less
               the same. Any sort of information is welcome in order to help the trainers realize where
               they are at that moment. It’s more like grinding the diamond – you would see its shine
               after putting a lot of efforts on. The similar situation is with your lectures and webcasts –
               you would become the brilliant in your job after gaining more experience. In order to do
               so – you would need to interact with your audience. The feedback from your attendees
               could be so valuable and it can teach you how to get better and better. As time goes on
               –  your  skills  would  get  more  developed  and  you  would  be  in  position  to  offer  an
               excellence to your hard work’s consumers.
