Towards cybersecurity MOOC certification

• Especially during the COVID-19 crisis, MOOCs have become more important than ever, also for the cybersecurity domain. The certification of cybersecurity MOOCs could help promote quality aspects of MOOCs and enable their quality assessment and comparison. We conducted an online survey to analyse the role of cybersecurity MOOC certification based on proposed quality criteria for cybersecurity MOOCs and for MOOCs in general. Participants reported mixed experiences with MOOCs and largely agreed with our proposed quality criteria. This paper shows that there is a high acceptance and need for certification.
