Our social commitment

A school kit donated to a child for every training

To fight inequalities in access to education, Learni donates a complete school kit to a child in need for every training booked. You build your skills, a child heads back to school.

  • Backpack, notebooks and essential supplies
  • Distributed through our partner charities
  • Included, at no extra cost to you

The Learni story

Founded by engineers and learning experts, Learni's mission is to make high-impact tech training accessible to teams everywhere. We work remotely with organizations across the US and Canada, in your time zone, to help teams upskill fast.

Don't let this gap widen

Why this program matters

  • Without this upskilling, your team accumulates a technological gap that translates directly into productivity loss.

  • Organizations that don't train their talents on key topics see their competitiveness drop.

  • Every quarter without training is a gap widening with competitors who invest.

  • The cost of inaction quickly exceeds that of well-targeted training.

Quick installation of YARA on Linux and Windows, hands-on with the command-line interface, discovery of rule syntax including meta, strings, and conditions, creation of your first rule to detect a known malware, tests on provided real samples, guided exercises to validate basics and produce an initial analysis report, while learning professional best practices from the start.

Module 2Advanced YARA Rules: Modules and Regular Expressions (regex, PE, ELF, hex patterns)

Exploration of YARA modules like pe and elf for analyzing executables, mastery of regex in strings to match complex patterns, building multi-condition rules to target malware families, practical exercises on varied samples, debugging rules with yara-cli, production of custom rules applicable in enterprise settings, with immediate trainer feedback to accelerate your progress.

Module 3Malware Analysis with YARA: Scans and Matching (files, memory, recursive scans)

Using YARA to scan entire directories and detect hidden threats, memory scanning techniques for suspicious processes, integration with tools like Volatility for forensic analysis, practical cases on recent malware, creation of a batch script to automate scans, analysis of results with match counting, and drafting an incident report ready for your SOC team.

Module 4YARA Integration: Tools and Automations (Yara-Scan, Python API, SIEM)

Connecting YARA to tools like Yara-Scan and VirusTotal for enriched analyses, developing Python scripts using the yara-python library, integration into a basic SIEM workflow with ELK Stack, exercises on automating rules for real-time monitoring, tests in a simulated enterprise environment, production of a deployable prototype that immediately boosts your detection efficiency.

Module 5YARA Project: Optimization and Real Enterprise Cases (performance, custom rules, deployment)

Synthesis in a red thread project with creation of a rule set for a targeted threat, performance optimization for large-scale scans without slowing systems, best practices for versioning and sharing rules via Git repositories, simulation of a real enterprise incident, deployment on a remote server, final evaluation with quiz and defense, delivery of a complete kit certifying your new professional skills.

Our method

Training quality, guaranteed at every step

Before, during, after: we frame the brief, introduce the trainer, tailor the content and measure impact. You stay in control from kickoff to wrap-up.

Step 1

Rigorous trainer selection

Each trainer is validated on three criteria: hands-on field expertise, proven pedagogy and alignment with your industry.

  • Triple validation: technical, pedagogical, sectoral.
  • Minimum rating 4.8/5 over the last 12 sessions.
Step 2

You meet the trainer beforehand

30-minute video call between you and the selected trainer to validate the fit, adjust content and clear any final doubts.

  • Live briefing on goals and team context.
  • Veto right — we swap the trainer for free if needed.
Step 3

Content tailored to your context

No recycled slides. The syllabus is reworked from your real cases: tools, constraints, vocabulary, ongoing projects.

  • Hands-on cases drawn from your stack and projects.
  • Program co-written then validated by your team.
Step 4

Continuous quality follow-up

Live evaluations, 30/90/180-day check-ins and a consolidation plan. If the impact misses the mark, we rework it.

  • NPS, knowledge quizzes and skills self-assessment.
  • Satisfaction guarantee: fully satisfied or free rework.

A simple promise: you don't pay to discover the trainer on day one. Everything is validated upfront, by you.
