Program details
Overview
This certificate in computer networks and cybersecurity develops the knowledge and competencies needed to secure computer networks, actively monitor them to prevent and detect cyber threats, and manage incident recovery. The 30-credit program covers security research, securing network traffic, implementing cybersecurity mechanisms, diagnosing network problems, identifying vulnerabilities, and ensuring network resilience, along with communicating effectively about network security to technical and non-technical audiences. It is offered full-time or part-time at the Gatineau campus, with admission in fall, winter, and summer terms. Applicants without college-level mathematics complete a preparatory course as part of their program before continuing into the technical curriculum. The certificate suits IT professionals and career-changers seeking focused, practical training in network security, and it can stand alone or feed into further study in computer science or cybersecurity.

Admission Requirements: Admission runs through three pathways. Applicants may hold a DEC in computer science or a related field with college-level mathematics, or complete the preparatory course MAT1023 if lacking this background; have completed at least 15 university credits with a cumulative average of 2.0/4.3 or equivalent; or demonstrate at least 24 months of technical IT work experience, with the same mathematics requirement applying.
