Collège Communautaire du Nouveau-Brunswick offers Cert in Cybersecurity, a certificate in Cyber Security programme in Miramichi, Canada. The programme runs for 30 weeks, delivered fully online. Tuition for international students is CAD 10,258 per year (CAD 3,662 per year for local students).
Cybersecurity is an advanced-studies certificate program offered by the Collège communautaire du Nouveau-Brunswick (CCNB) that develops a range of technical skills for securing data files, defending computer systems, and protecting networks and IT infrastructure. Students learn to assess vulnerability levels and the consequences of inadequate security, working through topics such as secure programming, incident and crisis management, network concepts, and both offensive and defensive testing exercises, often framed around "red team" and "blue team" roles. The program is delivered fully online in a live evening cohort using Microsoft Teams, with admission open to graduates of related networking, programming, or application-development programs or those with equivalent postsecondary training or experience. It suits students who enjoy solving problems and working with emerging technology, who bring analytical and methodical thinking to identifying and resolving security issues, and who are comfortable adapting to new tools while working within a team on confidentiality-sensitive material.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: Admission follows CCNB's Profile K and requires one of: a CCNB diploma in Networking and IT Security (Réseautique et sécurité informatique), Programming and Application Development, or Game Programming and Development, or a post-secondary certificate or diploma in a related field recognised by CCNB, or equivalent experience. Applicants with adapted or modified-curriculum transcripts, and those under 21 without the standard credential, undergo a supplementary evaluation; applicants 21 or older without it, and those with a secondary diploma from outside Canada, must pass the CCNB admission test. As with all CCNB programmes, applicants whose mother tongue is not French, or who have not completed at least three years of French-language secondary schooling or a French-language postsecondary programme, must demonstrate French proficiency through the TFI (minimum score 700), TCF or TEF Canada (level B2), DELF (B2), or DALF (C1).
Application Details
Start Date:September
Application Deadline:Collège communautaire du Nouveau-Brunswick publishes no fixed application opening or closing dates, for either domestic or international applicants, for the autumn or winter session; the selection process begins in November for the following academic year, and complete applications are evaluated on a rolling basis as they are received. Rather than calendar deadlines, CCNB publishes a list, refreshed each cycle, of which programmes currently have admissions open (a 2026-27 list is live, covering Automne 2026), and it recommends applying early because some programmes draw more applications than seats available. Once an offer is made, domestic applicants have 30 days to confirm their place, while international applicants have 21 days. No separate international application deadline exists; the same rolling process applies to international applicants. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
