For online training course programs, we are currently offering courses that serve 4 tracks: CIP Essentials, CyberOps, OPSWAT Product Training, and End-User Guides.

After purchasing and successfully completing the course and the required knowledge tests, you receive a certificate. You can download all earned certificates in .PNG format. These certificates come with a verification link and can be easily shared on LinkedIn, through the Credly badge-sharing community, or submitted to claim CPE Credits.

OPSWAT Academy welcomes everyone, regardless of their prior cybersecurity expertise. Beginners can start from scratch with our CIP Essentials track, while IT experts can dive into our CyberOps and OPSWAT Product Training track to enhance their skills and explore OPSWAT products.

For new users, you can also get to know about our platforms by starting the tailored End-User Guides track.
