Anybody with some skills in malware analysis who would like to help out with this, either by helping to teach or contributing to the course material, please send me a PM and we'll see what you can do :D

Cheers!

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

You should add One more 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.
