Diploma in Networking and Cloud Computing
The complete path from networks to two public clouds. Over a year you learn networking, Windows Server, Red Hat Linux and network security, then AWS and Azure, and you finish with a capstone that ties them together.
Why this course
Why a full year?
A short certificate proves you can use a tool. A year of guided practice shows you can be trusted with a network, a server and a cloud account at the same time, which is what employers mean by "cloud engineer".
The diploma is also the main route into the Project Lab: by the final months you have the range to contribute to a real brief.
- Networking to CompTIA Network+ depth.
- Windows Server and Red Hat Linux (RHCSA and RHCE topics).
- Network security and access control lists.
- AWS and Microsoft Azure, compared and practised.
- A capstone project and Project Lab eligibility.
Students after graduation or Class 12 with a computing background, and career switchers who want the most complete route into cloud engineering.
Basic computer use. Everything else is taught from the start.
Builds towards CompTIA Network+, RHCSA, AWS Certified Solutions Architect – Associate and Microsoft Certified: Azure Administrator Associate. Exam fees are separate.
