The Learn Online Security Process

Your in-person or virtual training programs give you knowledge and skills

Your child's in-person or virtual training program gives them knowledge and skills

You and your child now understand how your child is being socially engineered.

Parents and children now protect themselves, their family, and their community.

How you as a parent can protect your children on and offline

Hey everybody. I’m Chris, the IT Director and Head Instructor with Learn Online Security. Whenever we would be teaching a course or out in public, we would be always asked by parents what they could do to protect their children online. Or we would be asked how can we talk to our kids when they won’t listen to us?

Because we are Mom and Dad “we don’t understand!”

We get it! Small secret everybody at Learn Online Security is associated with a youth of some sort way. So, we listened and focused on a dedicated Learn Online Security program for parents and their children.

Educating your children about online safety is just as important as educating yourself.

In today’s digital world, a “parent only” solution is no longer adequate to protect you and your family from online dangers. We need to reach the kids as well. In a way that has meaning to them.

Our program is unique. Regardless of age, we educate the parents separately from the children. Focusing on parental controls and concerns that they bring to the groups. Then we format the kids' portion of the program depending on age. The tweens to teens are given an environment with their own instructor. No parents allowed! So, they have their own sense of privacy and can express their own concerns in their own space. And yes, their own instructor. Not the parents' instructor. The preschool to elementary children. They have the same child focused instructor, but we include the parents, so the message stays consistent and clear all the way home. Funny how the kids take every opportunity to tell Mom and Dad “they said”

We use easy to understand language. That is age appropriate while using real world examples in an interactive and engaging environment. Honestly, I’m amazed how our kids' instructors can relate to the kids on their terms, in their space and keep it fun.

All the instructors at Learn Online Security look forward to working with you and your children, while learning to secure and protect your online experiences.

Interesting, I need more information!

Does your child want their own device?

Charlie often took her phone with her to her Grandma's place after school. Her Mom loved the comfort of knowing that Charlie could always contact her if there was an emergency. What her Mom didn't realize was that Charlie's phone what not setup with parental controls.

Charlie began messaging with a boy her age on a site her Mom would have denied her access to at home. Eventually, it was discovered that the boy she was corresponding with was actually a man trying to recruit Charlie into a gang and sex-trafficking. Her Mom and Grandma were shocked!

Before you give a child their own devices, obtain the knowledge and skills to set your child up for success.

This terrible situation could have been completely avoided if the proper steps were taken before the phone was given to Charlie to begin with.

Stories like this happen every day in neighbourhoods just like yours.
