Cybersecurity jobs are in high demand. If you have an IT background, this program can help you get started.
You will earn a CAPS Sheridan Certificate and prepare for the CompTIA Security+ Certification, a key credential for cybersecurity careers. Training covers essential topics such as security basics and disaster recovery, ensuring you are well-prepared to pass the exam.
The program also includes a 4–8 week Work-Integrated Learning project with real employers. This gives you hands-on experience, a portfolio to show your skills, and Canadian work references.
