Nope, think of it as a whole bunch of tutorials but with projects you can complete, one to one help (through a messaging system) etc. No webcam needed. The course can last as long as you want, you're basically learning at your own pace, so you can choose to follow the whole course or just do bits of it that interest you

It's just optional stuff, like here's a binary which has some anti-debugger tricks, when you can successfully bypass the anti-debugger you're ready to move on to the next stage That kind of thing

A Test: You should made some self made malware which the user need to Identify if these are malware or not

Send Some Clean & Malicious files to user & tell them to identify which these are malicous & which one is clean.
After the Completion of Course.

There will be loads of stuff like that, challenges based around what you have learned up to the point of the challenge

Update: Work is underway building the course now I'm on vacation next week so work will be delayed slightly but the course should be up and running with loads for you all to learn by the time my birthday comes around (in a couple of weeks)
