What’s an online class?
Online classes come in two forms: Live and Self-Paced. In both cases, you’ll receive a kit of equipment for doing all of the lab work - the difference is when and how you’ll interact with the instructors:
Live Online Classes
This is a typical live public training, but conducted online/remote. Class will have set hours, and there will be live lectures and discussions. Instructors will be available for the whole time to support you as you work through your labs.
Based on our experience and feedback from attendees, we find that live online training is NOT ideal for most attendees. While it does work well for private training where attendees are likely in a similar timezone and have working relationships, we feel that in most it combines the worst of face-to-face training’s time and logistics constraints with the worst of remote training’s isolation and lack of interaction.
Self-paced Online Classes
This is a self-paced online training. All lectures and materials are accessed online, and you proceed at the pace you choose. Support from instructors is available via email or by appointment, as well as access to an online discussion forum.
After over a year of online trainings, we have found this to be the ideal method. Attendees are able to fit the training into their own schedule, and get better, more focused 1:1 help from instructors
Who is it best for?
No matter what the reason, this is the best option for those who aren’t interested in face-to-face training, and for the time being, is the only option until it is safe to relax travel and group restrictions.
While we still believe that in-person face-to-face training is the best way to learn, we’ve done our best to make the most of the available mediums. We’ll start out with synchronous online training, but in time we hope to make the self-paced option available as well.
How much does it cost?
When offered as part of another event, the event generally dictates pricing based on their audience and other ‘perks’ included.
When purchased directly, each 2-day equivalent course is US$2000, which includes access to the online materials, all the necessary hardware, and 30 months of support.
What classes are available? When can I take one?
As of right now, both Applied Physical Attacks #1: Embedded and IoT Systems and Applied Physical Attacks #2 are available online.
You’ll get immediate access to the course website and your toolkit will be shipped via USPS priority mail in the US and UPS Worldwide service elsewhere. (Customs paperwork will reflect the wholesale cost of the equipment, not the purchase price of the course. You’ll be responsible for duties and tariffs if applicable)
