Who can apply?
Basic computer literacy:
Participants should have a good understanding of basic computer operations, including file management, using software applications, and internet browsing. Since it's a fundamentals course, participants usually do not need any prior knowledge of cybersecurity. The course is designed to cater to beginners in the field.
Education:
No specific educational requirements, and the course is open to anyone interested in learning about cybersecurity. This may include students, working professionals, or individuals looking to switch careers.
Language proficiency:
The course material and instruction will be conducted both in Georgian and in English, so participants should have a sufficient understanding of both languages (A2 of English and native Georgian).
Equipment:
Participants might need access to a computer or laptop to complete hands-on exercises and assignments during the course. Thus participants are asked to bring their laptops or can also use KIU computers during the course, if needed. Specific software requirements, if any, will be communicated beforehand.
Commitment:
Cybersecurity training requires dedication and a willingness to learn. Participants are expected to actively engage with the course material, attend sessions, and complete assignments.
Equality:
KIU welcomes applications from all suitably qualified candidates, irrespective of sex, gender, marital or parental status, sexual orientation, ethnic or social origin, disability, religion or belief. Under its Gender equality and social inclusion policy, Kutaisi International University is aiming to achieve parity in the number of women and men selected at all levels in the Organization. In the event of equal merit, preference will therefore be given to the applicant belonging to the under-represented sex in the grade. During the different stages of the recruitment procedure, specific measures may be taken to ensure equal opportunities for candidates with disabilities.
