IT Incident Management e-Learning
When emergencies become routine - but no one is prepared
An IT security incident is rarely planned. But the way it is handled should be. This is precisely where a weakness is revealed in many companies: Their employees are often trained in IT incident management using generic standard courses – too long, too general, too irrelevant.
Especially in large companies with complex IT landscapes and different target groups, an “off-the-shelf” course is often not enough.

The typical problems with standard courses
In discussions with IT managers at large companies, we often hear the same challenges:
- Long course duration without a clear focus: Many standard courses last several hours and lose the learners’ attention.
- Insufficient relevance: What happens in the event of a phishing attack in your own system? How is it communicated internally? Which tools are used?
- Missing language versions: Multilingualism is mandatory in internationally active companies – many courses do not offer this.
- High license costs with a low usage rate: If employees switch off or drop out, the ROI is quickly negative.
- Seriousness: The topic is often taught using comic figures.
Customized e-learning as a solution
As a specialized e-learning agency for large companies, we develop learning solutions that are precisely tailored to your needs. For it incident management, this means
- Individual scenarios based on your processes
- Target group-specific presentation (e.g. for IT support, network administration, management)
- Short modules instead of long standard courses
- Only those languages that are required
- Only what really needs to be said is said
- One-off investment instead of recurring license costs
IT incident management e-learning is effective when it reflects your actual processes – not those of an anonymous best practice model.
Best practice: IT incident management training at an international corporation
In our best-practice training course on IT incident management, we show how a company can reach different target groups with a common training standard – without inefficient course lengths or thematic gaps.
The learning modules are developed together with the IT security managers and contain realistic scenarios, clear decision trees and deliberately placed interactions.
Why individualized e-learning also makes economic sense
A common objection to customized solutions: the expense. But it’s worth looking at the big picture:
- No annual license costs
- Higher completion rates and better learning outcomes
- More relevance = more acceptance
- Reduction in support requests thanks to clear training standards
Customized e-learning often pays for itself after the first roll-out, as it has a more targeted effect and is better used.
Conclusion: Standard is not enough - and it doesn't have to be
If you are responsible for IT incident management in your company, you know the challenges: Creating awareness, increasing security, communicating processes clearly. This is exactly where individual digital training comes in.
With customized e-learning, you create the basis for security, relevance and efficiency – exactly where it is needed.
