Tiered Learning for Better Educational Outcomes

Why the Secure Code Warrior preventative ‘tiered’ approach to developer upskilling drives higher engagement and better educational outcomes for more secure code.

When it comes to extracurricular courses or on-the-job training, it's often overlooked that adults already have a certain level of experience and existing knowledge.

Good training is designed to add to this existing foundation and is structured in a way that allows for deeper understanding and faster autonomy in the learning process.

Tiered education is a potent, positive method of learning that seeks to activate and enhance the prior experience while continuing to build new skills - in manageable chunks - that allow developers to tackle increasingly difficult tasks with more confidence.

Secure Code Warrior’s unique Tiered approach to developer-centric training using Courses (skill-based learning pathways) includes;

1. Learn security fundamentals and concepts with training videos and Guidelines. [Tell]

2. Experience the impact of software vulnerabilities in immersive coding walkthroughs [Show]

3. Build transferable skills with hands-on, framework-specific coding challenges that level up skills in identifying, and fixing software flaws. [Learn]

4. Practice offensive and defensive secure coding skills with interactive missions and coding labs, based upon real-world applications [Do]

This can be further extended to benchmark and assess competency by adding an Assessment end-of-course activity.
