Explanation
In security education frameworks (such as NIST SP 800-50), there are three distinct levels: Awareness, Training, and Education. Awareness activities are passive, high-level reminders designed to keep security top-of-mind - examples include posters, newsletters, screensavers, and brief email reminders. They do not teach skills. Training is more structured and skill-focused (e.g., a hands-on phishing simulation course). Education is formal and in-depth (e.g., a degree or certification program). 'Schooling' is not a recognized category in this framework.
