Why study this Vocational Qualification in Cyber Security?
The steady increase in network security issues and the lack of qualified people in this area makes this one of the most sought after profiles in the ICT sector.
The fact of dedicating 319 teaching hours, work placements in companies and the project in the field of security makes the student devote more than half of the qualification to the subject of cyber security, thus providing solid knowledge in this field.
This course therefore offers a comprehensive vision of the administration of networks and at the same time the foundations of cyber security which will both enable the students to find work quickly in ICT companies or in any company that has its own ICT department, at the same time it provides two career opportunities, either as a network technician or cyber security technician.
The professional leaning towards cyber security adds a highly sought after component in the market.
