About this course

Phishing works because it targets people, and this course shows you how to see through it. You start with the psychology that makes a message feel urgent and trustworthy, then move to the evidence that never lies: the hidden headers of an email. Working from a provided sample, you follow the Received path, check the Return-Path and Reply-To, and read the SPF and DMARC results to prove a sender is forged. Next you inspect a sample login page and learn why a single form attribute gives away a credential trap. The final lessons turn analysis into protection with DMARC, multi-factor authentication, passkeys and user training. All practice stays on sample files and systems you are allowed to use.

Before you buy

Questions about this course

Is this a subscription?

No. You pay $9.99 once for this course. There is no subscription and nothing renews automatically. Prices are in US dollars; taxes may be added where required.

What exactly do I get?

All lessons and labs of this course, the final exam and the certificate, including later updates to the course, for as long as Tutorvo offers it. Access is personal and tied to your account.

Can I get a refund?

Yes. If you are not satisfied, email hello@tutorvo.com within 14 days of buying and we refund the course in full via Stripe. The guarantee does not apply once a certificate for the course has been issued to you, or where there are signs of abuse.

When can I start?

Right after payment. Access starts immediately at your request; for consumers in the EU/EEA the statutory right of withdrawal therefore ends once access has begun, while our 14-day money-back guarantee applies regardless.

Do I need Excel or other software?

No. The labs run in a spreadsheet inside your browser on a laptop, tablet or phone. Function names and syntax follow Excel.

Is the certificate an official qualification?

No. It confirms that you completed all lessons of the course and passed its final exam. It is not an official, state-recognised or professional qualification. The name is taken from your profile when the certificate is issued.
