About this course
Welcome to Cybersecurity Fundamentals. In an era where Trinidad and Tobago's digital landscape is expanding faster than ever, staying safe online is no longer a luxury—it is a necessity. Every day, citizens across the country log in to online banking, shop on social media marketplaces, attend virtual classrooms, and run businesses that depend on the internet. With this convenience comes risk. Cybercriminals are increasingly targeting the Caribbean, and T&T is no exception. This course is designed to empower everyday citizens, educators, and business owners with the practical knowledge to defend against evolving digital threats. From securing your social media accounts to protecting your small business assets, we cover the essentials with a distinctly local T&T perspective. You do not need to be a computer expert to benefit—if you can send a WhatsApp message, you can learn to protect yourself online.
What you'll be able to do
- Identify common cyber threats prevalent in the Caribbean and T&T.
- Implement robust personal security measures, including Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) and strong passphrases.
- Recognize and avoid sophisticated phishing, social media, and investment scams.
- Establish a basic security framework for a small business or classroom.
- Utilize regional resources like TT-CSIRT and CyberSafeTT for proactive defense.

What people say after taking CyberSafeTT courses.
The team spoke to 400 of our students without a single dull minute. Teachers left with a plan, not just a presentation.
Dexter Charles
Principal, San Fernando
The online safety course gave me the words to talk to my son about sextortion. Calm, clear and made for Caribbean families.
Marcia Joseph
Parent, Chaguanas
Our staff phishing click rate dropped sharply within a month. The scenarios used real local scams, so it landed instantly.
Kwesi Baptiste
IT lead, credit union
Short lessons I could finish between classes. The checklist alone saved me from a fake scholarship payment link.
Shivani Persad
University student, UWI
I run everything from WhatsApp. This training showed me exactly where my business was exposed and how to fix it that week.
