Subjects
One platform, several disciplines. Each subject is a structured programme you work through week by week.
Cybersecurity and networking
How systems and networks work, how they fail, and how to defend them, learned through guided practice.
Computer science
The ideas beneath the code: programming, data structures, algorithms and how computers are put together.
More subjects
Aegis is growing beyond its first courses. New subjects are added as each programme is ready.
Who it is for
Adults who want to learn computing seriously and on their own schedule: people starting from scratch, switching direction, or filling gaps in what they know. You need a computer, an email address and a few hours a week.
How it works
Each week has a lesson, a short quiz and practice tasks. Quizzes explain every answer, and your progress and results are saved so you can stop and pick up where you left off.
Questions
Do I need any experience?
