What are Learning Paths?
The new OffSec Learning Library has given us the freedom to expand our training and move beyond the traditional Offsec course format, and so emerged a new, more versatile way to organize and consume our content which we are calling Learning Paths.
Learning Paths have existed for a while in the OffSec Learning Library in the form of level 100 content. To make them easier to identify, we are now renaming and moving these learning paths away from the Courses menu.
On top of that we are also preparing to release new Learning Paths for you to explore.
To learn when new paths are added, check the Learning Paths drop-down in the Offsec Learning Library or subscribe to our newsletter.
How are Learning Paths different from Courses?
Learning Paths:
- Are shorter in length than the traditional courses.
- Allow for a more focused learning experience, where the learner can concentrate on improving a particular skill as opposed to tackling an entire set of skills needed to complete a course and pass an exam all at once.
- Allow the user to set shorter, and easier to achieve goals before they move towards more ambitious content like a full course.
- Do not end in an exam.
- Some Learning Paths may have an assessment at the end.
- Some Learning Paths may allow you to obtain a badge or certificate of completion.
How can I view and access the available Learning Paths?
