About this course

Be equipped to tackle the network security challenges faced by Australian businesses, services and industry with this specialised course in cyber security

Cyber attacks on Australian networks are an ever-increasing threat to individuals, businesses and national security and there is currently a skills shortage in this very specialised sector of the IT industry. You'll gain insights into mitigation techniques that are key to tackling potential cyber attacks faced by modern industry by completing North Metropolitan TAFE's Certificate IV in Cyber Security.

Our Certificate IV in Cyber Security is a technician level qualification that will provide you with the knowledge and a comprehensive set of technical skills that will mean you are job ready and highly employable.

There are currently two study options for this course, On campus which is face-to-face, full-time and Combined (Online and on campus) which is delivered in the evenings.

The Combined (Online and on campus) study option is ideal for IT staff who want to upskill into a cyber security role or for the passionate cyber security enthusiast.
New candidates with a limited background in IT should consider the On campus study option, or enrol for the Certificate III in Information Technology (Cyber Security) instead.
