Student Edition Guide

One of the top factors in securing your organization is empowering students to spot and navigate cybersecurity threats. Our KnowBe4 Student Edition training prepares students to navigate the digital world safely and responsibly. They will develop intelligent habits useful for your school and their future profession.

For best results, we recommend running a student campaign once a semester. Use the links below to get started.

Finding Student Edition Training Content

Before creating a training campaign, you must select the content to include. First, find Student Edition content in the ModStore. Then, add the desired content to your account’s library.

If you are browsing the ModStore, look for items with the orange KnowBe4 Student Edition badge under the title. If you would like to search for Student Edition content specifically, follow the steps below:

1. Log in to your KSAT console.
2. Navigate to the ModStore tab.
3. On the Browse subtab, click on Additional Filters.
4. From the Subscription Level drop-down menu, select KnowBe4 Student Edition to browse all content specific to the Student Edition add-on.
5. If you find the content you want to use, you can hover your cursor over the image and click View Details for more information. On the item details page, you can read the full content description and view the content.
6. To add the content to your library, click the + Add to Library button. Once added, the content will be listed in the Library subtab beneath the ModStore tab.
   
   • If an item shows the Already Added tag, it is already available in your library and does not have to be added.

Once you have added all of the Student Edition training you would like to your library, you can move on to Creating a Student Edition Training Campaign.

Creating a Student Edition Training Campaign

Once you have added content to your library, you can create a student training campaign. While logged in to your KSAT console, navigate to the Training tab. Then, click the +Create Training Campaign button in the top-right corner of the page.

On the campaign creation screen that opens, use the list below to create a student campaign with our recommended settings.
