Build your career in cloud computing and cyber security

Cloud and security have moved from niche specialisations to core IT infrastructure — and the demand for capable people is only accelerating. This Certificate IV gives you working fluency across the platforms employers actually use: Microsoft Azure, AWS and Cisco. 

You will learn in virtual labs, work through real cybersecurity risk scenarios, and graduate with the practical skills to step into junior cloud or security roles.

What you will build
  • Hands-on configuration of cloud services across Microsoft Azure and AWS
  • Secure virtual networks and client-server applications
  • Cybersecurity risk assessments and mitigation strategies you can defend in interviews
  • Working knowledge of industry-standard virtualisation technologies
  • Foundational programming and remote support skills
  • Configure and manage cloud services using platforms such as Microsoft Azure and AWS
  • Install and maintain secure virtual networks and client-server applications
  • Conduct cybersecurity risk assessments and implement mitigation strategies
  • Evaluate and deploy industry-standard virtualisation technologies

This course may suit you if any of the following sounds like you:

  • You are analytical and enjoy structured problem-solving
  • You communicate well, both in writing and in person
  • You manage your own time well — this course runs flexibly online
  • You have some coding experience or are willing to build it
  • You can work independently and as part of a team
