Security awareness training from Gulf Infotech teaches non-technical staff to recognise phishing, invoice fraud, fake login pages and risky AI use, and to report incidents quickly. It is a group session: a presenter shows real use cases and examples of how attacks happen by email, on devices, on the internet and on social media, including phishing and spoofing. Courses run as private sessions, online as live virtual classes or in person, in English or Arabic, across the Middle East, from a security provider in business since 2007.

Session lengths and dates
The security awareness course runs as a private session for your company, on dates you agree with us.
Choose a 1-hour, 2-hour, half-day (4 hours) or full-day (8 hours) package.
For a first look at security awareness, an overview session runs 60 to 90 minutes; the longer packages depend on how hands-on you want the security awareness training to be, and we structure each one to your requirement.
Can we book a private session for our company?
Yes. Corporate sessions run online for teams spread across offices, or in person in Dubai, Muscat, Doha or elsewhere in the Middle East. We build the examples around your business: the suppliers you pay, the systems you log in to and the messages your staff actually receive. Training works best alongside the controls behind it, so we can pair it with email security and DMARC to cut the number of fake messages that reach staff in the first place.
Phishing simulation is a separate service, usually booked after this training. A simulation tool sends realistic phishing, spoofing and other attacks to your users, records how each person reacts and gives each user a score, so your IT admin can see who is alert and who needs more help.

Frequently asked questions
How long is the course?
The course comes in 1-hour, 2-hour, half-day (4 hours) or full-day (8 hours) packages. A security awareness overview takes 60 to 90 minutes; longer packages depend on how hands-on you want it. For corporate groups we can split the content into shorter sessions, for example one module a week, which keeps attention high and lets staff practise between sessions. Refresher sessions for existing staff can be shorter than the full course.
Is it available in Arabic?
Yes. The course runs in English or Arabic. We include Arabic examples of phishing and fraud messages, because many attacks on GCC companies arrive in Arabic and look different from English ones.
Is it hands-on?
Yes. Attendees work through realistic examples: they inspect suspicious emails, check links and sender addresses, spot fake login pages and decide what to do with an urgent payment request. Discussion is built around the messages your staff actually receive.
Do we get a certificate?
Paid, registered participants receive a Gulf Infotech certificate of attendance. The course follows the vendor's awareness syllabus, and the certificate records that each participant completed it. Ask us what record of attendance your HR or compliance team needs, and we will confirm what we can provide.
Is the course online or in person?
Both. You can choose online training as live virtual sessions, which suits teams spread across several offices or countries, or in-person training. In-person sessions run in Dubai, Muscat and Doha, and elsewhere in the Middle East on request.
How often should staff repeat security awareness training?
At least once a year, plus a session for every new joiner. Attack methods change quickly, for example QR-code phishing and AI-written messages, so a yearly refresher keeps examples current. Many companies add short phishing simulations between sessions to see who still clicks and focus follow-up training on them.
Can the course be evidence for our compliance team?
It can be one part of it. Many companies keep a documented awareness programme, with attendance records, for customers and auditors. Your compliance owner decides how the course fits your full programme; we provide the attendance records and certificates for paid, registered participants.
