This course is self-paced. For live online or in-person instruction, take Cybersecurity for Federal HR: People Data and the Cyber Workforce Course.

Federal HR offices hold some of an agency's most sensitive data and are responsible for correctly coding every cyber-related position. This foundational course covers both responsibilities, with no cybersecurity background required.

Learners study Privacy Act requirements, need-to-know access, and everyday habits that protect personnel data. They then learn the NICE Framework and the DoD Cyber Workforce Framework, assign work role codes, and write position descriptions that attract qualified cyber candidates.

Target Audience

This course is written for federal HR specialists, HR business partners, position classifiers, and staffing specialists who handle personnel data or who code and recruit for cyber-related positions within their agency. It also serves HR directors and workforce planning staff who need to understand these requirements at a program level. No prior cybersecurity experience is assumed, only familiarity with federal HR processes such as maintaining personnel files and writing position descriptions. This course is not for cybersecurity practitioners looking for technical security training, and it is not a deep dive into a single agency's internal coding system; it teaches the government-wide framework and the HR practices that sit on top of it.
