# Building Awareness Training Programs

## Overview

Design, deploy, and measure security awareness training to reduce susceptibility to social engineering.

## Prerequisites

| Requirement | Install |
|---|---|
| LMS platform | Learning management |
| Assessment tools | Quiz platforms |
| Python 3.10+ | For agent tooling |

## Key Concepts

Effective awareness programs combine interactive modules,
phishing simulations, metrics tracking, and continuous reinforcement.
Content must be role-specific and regularly updated.

## Quick Reference

```bash
node agent.js create --program annual-2026 --modules 12
node agent.js deploy --program annual-2026 --department engineering
node agent.js metrics --program annual-2026
node agent.js report --program annual-2026 --format pdf
```

## Workflow

1. Assess current awareness
2. Design role-specific modules
3. Build interactive content
4. Deploy with deadlines
5. Run phishing simulations
6. Track metrics
7. Iterate on failures

## Verification

- Verify modules load on LMS
- Confirm quiz scoring
- Validate completion tracking
- Check compliance reporting
- Verify simulation integration
